Toshiba Mini NB205-N325BN 10.1-Inch Sable Brown Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)

#1: Toshiba Mini NB205-N325BN 10.1-Inch Sable Brown Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Reviews!

I bought this Toshiba netbook used for some overseas business travel. I am getting used to the computer. It has good battery life and is easy to drop into a carryon bag. I use the computer primarily for checking email and drafting sections of trip reports, and it has worked well for that purpose.

Here are some points to consider:

The accessories can up the price of the computer, when you consider an external drive and the basic needed software.

The computer is probably much slower than your desktop. Typing is no problem, but frequent interaction with the operating system or the internet will teach you patience. I do plan to increase the memory to 2 GB soon.

It is somewhat difficult to use the computer on a lap, chair arm, or something other than a hard, flat surface. You get frequent messages about the hard drive being moved to a safe position if the computer is not stable. I find it helpful to use a mouse at times, which requires a mousing surface.

The machine was driving me crazy because the cursor was moving around as I hit the touch pad while using the keyboard. There is a well-hidden setting as you work down through the touchpad menu that allows you to temporarily disengage the touchpad while keyboarding (and set the desired delay before the touch pad reactivates.) This setting has made it much easier to input text.
