I ordered a Toshiba Netbook After reading the last two months for the replacement notebook for my son's college bound. I will not go into all the technical details, as most netbooks are very similar, however, the keyboard and the drums were the primary factors in my decision to buy this netbook. The netbook has exceeded my expectations and I recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile, fully featured netbook with long battery life. I would like to have Windows 7 on a netbook, but I'm still happy with Windows XP.

I am very happy with Toshiba NB205 mini-N210
It fits into a handbag. Battery life is good. I miss the drawer of the CD, but most often it is not necessary and just extra weight. I will probably buy an external USB CD reader / writer.

The self-protection "I shed mode is probably a good idea, but a bit 'boring.

Everything I was looking for in a laptop without heavy, bulky size. Keyboard is very usable. Upgrade to 2 GB of memory, but does not seem to be very different performance in both Windows XP or 7. Incidentally, Windows 7 has seen all the components and all the drivers installed, no need to go to Asus to receive. Takes time to get used to the small screen. I give it 4 stars because the memory card reader has a problem ejecting the cards.

Seems to reviews on this netbook runs hot and cold. I got mine last week and I had no problems, even after the removal of bloatware and other software needed. I removed Works and installed Office Pro and manage relational databases end!
Upgrade 2GB of RAM is almost mandatory for this netbook particularly when streaming media files. Runs hot and the charger connector is fragile … using the AC to charge only recommended as moving around the AC plug can weaken IMO. As many have already said, the fingerprints show, but I can live with it and if I keep the lid clean, I can tell when someone was browsing around!

I have my Asus netbook one months ago to save my Macbook for heavy elements such as Photoshop Elements. I was relegated to light duty as my partner to Starbucks.

It 'a good value, but can not as a backup for my 13-inch, full-size keyboard Macbook. The difference in distance between the keys that makes the difference. There is also a quirkiness about it that makes my movements, how to change pages or e-mail in advance before I did. However, it will Hold Steady page NY Times online when I'm reading Starbucks or check my e-mail.
