User Reviews about Toshiba Mini NB205-N230 (NB200 series) 10.1-Inch Black Onyx Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
I have had this little computer for about 2 weeks now, and I think its time for a proper review. I searched all over to try to find the best mini for a reasonable price. I settled on this because of the advertised battery life, the price and toshiba reliability.
I am not a computer expert but i do use my machines for a lot of purposes and I demand a lot out of them. I put the battery life to the test and I was impressed. although I did not realize the 9 hours as advertised nor the 7 hours that most people said they got, I did manage to get in between 5 and half and 6 hours. This was during constant downloading, a 3 hour video chat, and various other operations. So keeping in mind that I was using this computers power heavily and I still got almost 6 hours out of the battery, I am impressed.
some complained about the power button being illuminated just under the screen. Its not a problem, I barely notice it. Some complained about the touch pad being too sensitive and that they accidently touch it while typing and it moves the cursor all over the place, again not a problem for those who actually know how to type properly. some complained about the speaker not being very loud, well what do you expect from a compact laptop? BOSE quality sound? get over it, the speaker included is more than adequate. If you need to hear it better, then plug in a set of headphones. The thing to keep in mind if considering this as a purchase is that it is not a replacement for a more powerfull laptop or a desktop. But if your like me and you travel a lot, this thing is a lifesaver.
As for windows 7 starter, its not that bad. the absolute only thing you cant do is change the backround. THATS IT! It still networks, you can set whatever screensaver you want and you can even change the theme(theme change takes a bit of work). Do not let the fact that this has the starter version of windows deter you, you wont even notice.
All in all its a great little maching that by itself is way more powefull than the first desktop computer i had. Its perfect for travel and to have something in the house that you can carry around. -- great buy
I love it! It is the perfect size for me in my travels. My lap top is way too big to travel with. -- Netbook
tHIS MACHINE IS VERY GOOD, BUT IS SLOW. i HAVE TO GET USE TO WAITING FOR A DOWNLOAD AGAIN.
-- MY NETBOOK
I love my Toshiba netbook, HOWEVER, while I agree with 99% of what has already been said in other reviews, I am extremely upset with the feature that the HD locks down with the slightest vibration in order to protect itself. This means that this portable computer can never be used while actually traveling such as on a plane or train or whatever as the computer immediately detects vibration and effectively stops functioning. -- Owner and user since 11/20/2009
This is one of the best computer I've ever had: compact, lightweghted, fast and reliable. It works perfect for me as I travel a lot...
Keyboard is incredibly large and confortable for such a small computer, I would change some keys of position but overall is great once you adapt.
Battery is also very reliable and stands for long working hors.
100% recommended for travellers!
-- Great computer
