Perfect for what it is

Reviewer: njpaddy,
I actually bought the NB205-N330BN, pre-ordering it from amazon, so this review is by an actual owner. In addition to this netbook, I also own 2 desktops (one I built myself) and two laptops. Before buying, one needs to realize the limitations of a netbook. It's not meant as a replacement for your desktop or laptop. I bought it for remote access to my company's server so I could prepare reports from the road and not have to drive 1-2 hours to my office. For this and for internet browsing, it has been perfect. Two others in my office have Asus and HP netbooks and this Toshiba blows them away, if for nothing else the keyboard layout. Wi-fi reception has been much better than the laptop I previously used, so I have no complaints at all. Windows 7 Starter has been fine. I didn't need all the bells and whistles and stupid Windows tricks. No wallpaper? Who cares?

All I can suggest is that you do your research to make sure a netbook fits your needs. Read the reviews and visit a retail outlet to check out the various models, keyboard layout, etc. At this time I highly recommend the Toshiba. I thought my wife might complain about the brown color, but she and everyone else loves it. A nice change from black or blue.
I love it!

Reviewer: hello kitty,
I bought a pink one. Since I'm a student, I took advantage of the Ultimate steal discount from Microsoft and upgraded to Windows 7 Professional which cost only $29.99. Also, the Ultimate steal offered Microsoft office ultimate 2007 for $59.95. I also installed Crucial Technology 2GB Memory which cost $39.95. I bought a Senyx netbook case for $27.91. In conlusion, I paid $609.74 for a PC, a case, an increased memory, and a complete software set! I'm glad I decided to buy this when I'm still a student.

I really love the fact it starts and shutdowns so fast. People complained about the battery sticking out and not being able to fit in the case. You should buy the case from Senyx. They have exact ones for this netbook. Mines fits perfectly.

I received the Toshiba netbook two weeks ago. Needless to say, I spent some time setting it up for my preferences. This is my first Windows 7 PC. I found that the Windows 7 has some limitations with background settings, etc. I also noticed that the nice Windows Mail program (from Vista) was no longer available. I now use GMAIL. ANOTHER CON:The loudspeakers sound anemic and I needed earphones to really enjoy music.
I especially like the keyboard. I got the hang of it in a very short time and was able to type emails and word documents with almost the same speed as on the full size keyboard on my desktop. After about one day I convinced myself that NB 205 with 1 GB of memory was rather slow. So I ordered the 2 GB extra memory from Amazon. After replacing the 1 GB with the 2GB, I found that the speed and response time picked up remarkably. I achieved even better speed and response times when I inserted a 4 GB high speed SD card into the available slot and activated the Speedbooster function.(Available in Vista and W7) It uses the faster flash memory for paging instead of using the slower, hard disk. By now, this little netbook computer performs just about as well as my 6 GB HP desktop with Vista and a 2.4 MHZ processor. I like its looks, the small size, the keyboard, the speed. Quite a package.
The display is crisp and clear. Battery life - outstanding. I used the NB 205 for 8 hours on batteries only, and never missed a beat. Wireless transmission seems to be working just fine.
Best in Class

Reviewer: Mitchell S. Davis, Irvine, CA United States
I read a lot of Mini Laptop reviews before choosing this Toshiba, I own 3 Dell laptops of various sizes and I was on the Dell web site about to order the Mini10v for 300 dollars when I started reading the reviews. For an extra 30 to 50 bucks I decided on the Toshiba. It looks great, its fast, keyboard is easy to use. The wifi connected automatically to my home network the first time I turned it on, It immediately found my DLink router and just asked for the password. It was incredibly easy.

I am ok with the Windows 7 starter and see no need to upgrade to the Home Edition. The only thing that I miss is customizing the wallpapaer but I would not pay for that feature.

I bought the Microsoft Ultimate Steal bundle available to college students which inlcuded WORD, EXCEL, Powerpoint and Publisher. The installed software had a trial version. If you choose not to buy it after the trial, you get Microsoft WORKS,

The Mini is light and very easy to use. So far, its done everything my full size laptops do including internet, email and ipod itouch synching. Like all Minis, it does not have a CD/DVD drive.

The model numbers are confusing. The older versions using Windows XP and have a smaller hard drive. The current model comes in a variety of colors which can have a big impact on the price. Basic Black is the cheapest but it still look great and sleek.

Highly Recommended!

I spent hours researching different netbooks and decided to go with the Toshiba.

It has the speed and power expected with excellent battery life. I use MS Office 2007 with Word, Excell, PowerPoint, etc and this netbook has no problems in running these. I even use Proshow Gold to create videos on it.

It is light weight and stylish. I made a Skype video call and had no problems.

While I would never recommend a netbook for high resolution games, I do recommend this netbook for the web, research and other productive duties where a small package is desired.

The clarity of the LCD is the best of all of the others in it's class as far as I am concerned.
