Reviews Toshiba Mini NB205-N325PK Netbook


The user manual is a file on the internal disk so learning how to find my way around the laptop and Windows 7 was a challenge but I doubt if any computers come with a hard copy user manual anymore. I called Qwest to get help configuring my DSL modem for wireless and they even helped me with the laptop. It only took a few minutes to get it all working. I have had no problem with the netbook and am very happy with my purchase. I had considered the ASUS for a long time but the negative customer reviews regarding the AC adapter/charger and their customer service convinced me the Toshiba was a better choice. I don't think it's fair to give the Toshiba a bad review based on Windows 7 Starter. Toshiba doesn't make Windows and all the netbooks with Windows 7 Starter will have the same restrictions.

Even with the standard 1GB of RAM, the unit performs great, and battery life is on the order of 7 hours or more. As far as fit and finish goes, I compared similar units and this one has the best in it's price range, especially the keyboard -- doesn't feel flimsy at all, and the almost full size mouse pad is a plus.
