User Reviews about Toshiba Mini NB205-N230 (NB200 series) 10.1-Inch Black Onyx Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
I ordered a mini NB205 with atom N280 Intel processor. It has 250G hard drive, built in web camera, several USB2 slots, an SD slot for the digital camera card, a full size keyboard, runs Win 7 starter, and is black, for about $320. I have had it for 2 months, and have been traveling most of that time, though I had a week to set it up before we left. I am very satisfied with it, especially it portability and functionality. I don't do graphics-intensive stuff. I do WiFi email, some web surfing, Office stuff, Skype, some Bible software, and save my pictures. The only thing I am not very satisfied with is the sound quality of Skype calls, but I expected that based on reviews I read before buying it. Probably I would be happy with a headset, but then my wife cannot join the conversation with grandchildren. I still have well over 200G of space on my HD. I charge it for an hour or so in the morning after I get up, and that is usually enough for use throughout the day. I have had not problems with it. I figured out how to load software from DVDs via my laptop which is part of my home network. I have not noticed any limitations with the OS; my other PCs run XP. I recommend it for anyone who has a similar use profile. -- Satisfied with Toshiba Mini NB205
fast to use and to the point just what i need
-- excellent
Great computer, have noticed no problems with cruz'in the net. Little choppy with movies when the processor is throttled back (automatic when switched to battery power, but easy to change back) Love the keyboard and bluetooth and everything else about it! -- Love it!!!
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
