Toshiba Mini NB205-N330WH 10.1-Inch Frost White Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Although I have owned my Toshiba mini for less than a week, I love it. It’s the first computer that I have actually saved up the money for and paid it by myself, instead of the usual hand-me-down computers that I have been forced to suffer with most of my life. I find it to be a very exceptional netbook,compared to what my fellow peers have owned.
I have had nothing but compliments for my netbook. I don’t feel that much is wrong with it, but it would be nice if it had come with a duo-core processor instead of the Intel Atom . It would be nice to not have to close every other window to watch a simple Hulu video. I suppose, though, with the Atom processor the battery last longer….Now that I think of that, it makes sense. And it is a netbook….I shouldn’t be upset over this.
I know that every other review has probably already commented on this, but Windows 7 Starter kind of fails. If you get this computer, plan to either upgrade to the full Windows 7, or download a different OS. It makes things much easier. This is the only reason I didn’t give this product a full five out of five star rating.
All in all, I am very fond of this small, yet powerful piece of technology. If only I had a better OS…..

Toshiba Mini NB305-N410WH 10.1-Inch Frost White Netbook - 11 Hours of Battery Life Review

I’ve responded to a few reviews, but haven’t got around to reviewing the netbook myself, so I’ll throw my two cents worth in since I’ve now had it in my possession for about 12 hours. First of all, I decided to go with the N310 model because I hate chiclet keyboards and I love the color black, so that ruled out every other model. Another reason was that I had a windows 7 ultimate license doing absolutely nothing so I thought I would install it on this netbook using a usb flash stick after backing up the xp version that was already on it. I also installed a 2GB kingston memory upgrade the moment I got it because I knew windows 7, even though in my opinion is the best OS to come out of Microsoft, is still a bit of a memory hog in comparison to XP, so a fresh Windows 7 install, a bit of searching on the web for the drivers, 2GB’s of RAM and I was good to go. Just to let you know, had to go to toshiba’s U.K website for all the windows 7 drivers. The drivers are labeled internationally, so no problem if downloading for a U.S NB305. Other than that, everything works great under Windows 7 and contrary to what others are experiencing, pretty quick by netbook standards. The keyboard is a pleasure to type on, doesn’t feel any slower typing on this than on my Dell XPS M1330 and the touchpad’s size is perfect. The screen is really bright, kind of reminds me of the LED screen on the M1330 for being visually strong. I thought the 1024 X 600 size was going to be an issue, but it really isn’t. The size of the screen fonts are good for my eyes ( I ain’t getting any younger), so the 1368 X 786 screens that are floating about on some of the newer netbooks might have made everything too small and that would have been frustrating trying to make everything look bigger even though I was getting more real estate. Haven’t got around to checking the validity of the battery life, but I don’t see any issues where I would run out of juice. It looks like its going to be a great traveling companion because of its size, battery life and it’s solidly built. So, my advice for anyone thinking about buying one of these 10.1 inch netbooks, no matter what brand they pick, is buy 2GB’s of Ram right from the start, spend quality time learning how to do a fresh windows install getting rid of all the bloatware that comes with it which can slow things down big time. Also run it in high performance mode when watching videos. I’ve had no issues with Divx movies, youtube, Hulu full screen struggles a little, Mp3’s are no problem, and running a slingplayer app perfectly with no hiccups from a slingbox streaming a cable box 9500 miles away and also netflix sd streaming works great. Just don’t have huge performance expectations and you’ll come to love everything about these netbooks.

Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life Review

I recently purchased the Toshiba NB 205 to replace a first generation HP netbook that was no longer fulfilling my needs. I’m a graduate student that spends a good deal of time away from my home base, and I required a system with more “oomph” that allowed me to do essentially everything I do on my desktop (mostly word processing, database creating and management, heavy web browsing and viewing streaming video).
