Toshiba Mini NB205-N325 netbook user reviews:
- for a student this is a great buy. super portable, excellent battery life, and with the right tools it has everything you need.
- It is a great little machine, with almost everything I need. My main concern going into the purchase was to find one with a comfortable keyboard and a long battery life. The Toshiba has both.
- Love this netbook! The battery life is amazing. It works perfectly in wifi spots and is easy to connect. I bought it for the battery life and the keyboard. The keyboard types very easy and the keys feel good.
By "Luis Santander" recommendations for future users:
1) BUY the 2GB RAM expansion, and then you can sell the 1GB that it comes with this machine to recover some of the cash of the 2GB RAM.
2)DO NOT SWITCH the 2GB before starting the netbook for the first time! Start and configure Windows 7 with the factory settings, and THEN upgrade your RAM! I was mortified when I upgraded first and the netbook didn’t start! Then I switched back to the 1GB and runned like new.
3) Windows 7 Starter is pain in the b… I strongly recommend that you upgrade to Home Premium and use the benefits of Aero, Gadgets and Custom Wallpapers.
4) Google Chrome for browsing, iTunes if you own an iPod like me (it runs smoothly at the same time)
5) Multitasking force this little’s baby CPU for a while, but the RAM never passed 60% of usage. This is why I recommend the 2GB upgrade.
