Hot Summer Gear: Toshiba mini NB205

 freezes up |
| Review Date: March 1, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Randall Dinwiddie, stehekin, washington |
| I purchased the NB 205 two months ago. For the first several weeks all was well but then freeze ups began occurring. There was no pattern but the netbook has to be manually shut down and restarted quite often. I had added AVG and their scan showed no viral infections. I called Toshiba and twice their low level techs could do nothing...not even strip the computer to factory conditions. A higher level tech was supposed to call and several days later they did call but I was not there and now must get back in line. Fred Meyer will not take it back so right now I am stuck with a very undependable machine. |
Very good product

| I was surprised with the finish of the product as well as the time battery duration. I've done a lot of research, and this netbook is probably ranking on the top five. |
Great Netbook!

| I love this netbook. It is exactly what I was looking for. It runs great. The small size is easy to get used to. It's got a long battery life of course. |

| I guess mini computor explains it. It lacks volume in sound and needs to have more memory added. But it is good to travel with to hold pictures and to see what they look like. |
Working out great

Mines actually shipped with Windows XP installed instead of Windows 7 Starter, which is what I preferred anyways. Did not need to upgrade the RAM to 2GB because I use XP and ran mostly firefox, microsoft office, itunes, videos, etc. If you're going to game, use photoshop, install windows 7 ultimate or other heavy apps then upgrade to 2GB RAM.
Battery life on this netbook is ridiculously long. Definitely survives for up to 9 hours. I'm in class/on campus from 11-7 or 8 most days and I don't need to bring the charger ever. But the charger is also very light and small so it's not a burden to carry around.
I really enjoy the chiclet keyboard - i dont hit the wrong key as much. Took about a week to get used to the keyboard (fullsized which is rare on a netbook), but now I can type faster on this keyboard than my normal laptop (dell xps). I can pretty much write down word for word what someone says (great for taking notes) with few typos, which I can't do on my dell keyboard without hitting the wrong key.
Only negative is the audio speaker, which is on the bottom of teh laptop and basically nonexistent. But if you plug in speakers/headset it works fine.
All in all this is a really good netbook. I would say better than asus. I've had it for about 2 months and haven't had any problems.
Oh also the design is very cute (way cuter than asus's pink one). I've gotten many many compliments on the look :) |
