    I love it! It is the perfect size for me in my travels. My lap top is way too big to travel with.

    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.

    Great computer
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    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!

    Toshiba NB205-N330BL Net Book
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    The net book works great and satisfied my requirement to get on the internet on the go and a fairly large amount of memory for a net book. The Windows 7 starter operating system is a little limiting especially when setting up networks to transfer large amounts of data between the netbook and my desk top but acceptable work arounds are available. I will probably upgrade the operating system but hate spending the extra money. The battery life is excellent. The screen is excellent. The video is excellent. The volume of the speakers are really bad and can just barley be heard in a very quiet environment. In a slightly noisy environment, such as outside or in a car there is no chance of hearing the audio. Head phones or external speakers are required. This might be a problem with my specific netbook since it is so bad. Amazon purchase was great, delivery good condition and fast.

    #1 The Purchase: The transaction ocurred in matter of minutes. The purchase cleared out and it was getting ready to be shipped in no longer than 1 hour.

    #2 The Shipping: I payed next day and the item arrived with Fedex next day on time no delays, no problems, perfect.

    #3 The Toshiba:

    Windows 7 Starter:

    The first two days I was a little doubtful about the Windows 7 Starter. That was my main concearn about this Toshiba.

    I knew I wanted the Netbook since I watch many reviews on youtube and some sites and the Toshiba reated 4 to 5 stars in all.

    You know how it is, you get your Netbook, and you just want to start using it asap, you don’t want to re install any OS or nothing like that. I was looking other brands (before the purchase) that came with Win XP and I was thinking about installing XP instead of Win 7 for compatibility reasons and the posibility to use all available software instead of limiting myself into what Win 7 could give me.

    3 weeks later Im keeping the Win 7.

    I works very good. It looks good, never crashes, its fast and it gets the job done.

    So don’t worry about the operative system the Toshiba comes with. Keep it and use it. You will find it friendly and simple.

    Forget about changing the wallpaper or customizing the look of windows, what you get with Win 7, its what you keep. But its fine, you can add some gadgets on the desktop like a clock or calendar or a slideshow and after you install a couple of things, the desktop will have some icons on it that added to the gadgets will take the wallpaper issue out of your head since you will realize its useless.

    Video and power:

    I installed everything on it: Games, video editing software, sound editing software, image editing software, 3D software, Office, Movies in HD, all sorts of applications and many more things (gps, mobile internet…).

    Regarding games, I am playing Max Payne 2 and it flies. Morrowind 3, Moto GP 3, Halo, Rainbox Six 3 (they all run good in max resolutions and full graphics believe it or not).

    So regarding the Intel videocard, IT ROCKS. It won’t run Crysis or Oblivion 4 or Resident Evil 5 or GTA4 but all games from say…2006 and below, it will run them pretty good.

    Some games won’t run of course since its not Win XP but most of them (the ones that have a good code on them) will.

    The screen resolution and colours are excellent. Trust me, this Toshiba screen looks better than most Laptops I’ve seen. The image is crisp and clear and bright enough to make the colours look like a dream.

    The blues and greens in Avatar look amazing (in HD).

    Sound:

    The sound in the Toshiba comes out in one single speaker that is located on the bottom of the Netbook. This sucks of course. However lets be real, you will not be using this thing as the only sound source on a rave party.

    I added some nice headphones and the sound is just simply superb. Add some nice speakers at home to have your mp3’s sound in high volume and you will find out that after taking the single speaker out of the ecuation, any other form of headphones or speakers will satisfy your every need.

    The 3-d sound simulations that Win 7 offers really works and at least I am happy about it.

    Hardware in general:

    The CPU and RAM are fine just like they come. If you want, and specially if you are one of those people that like things to happen really fast, you can add 1GB of extra RAM and you are set.

    I am not kidding, this thing is pretty fast, and with one more gig of RAM is superman.

    I never added the extra RAM, since I never needed to. But believe in the power of this Toshiba since it can take you pretty far away.

    Compared to other Laptops I’ve seen, this little baby take cares of the same tasks and needs you might have faster than its big sisters.

    Keyboard and touchpad:

    Keyboard is as big as the keyboard of any regular Laptop or Desktop. SAME SIZE. Meaning its not only simple to type on it but it will fit most hands and fingers in a comfortable way for long writting periods of time.

    The touchpad has the same aspect ratio of the screen, making it very simple to move arround and browse. Really neat and comfy.

    General Look:

    The Netbook looks really cool. The keys design, the screen, the piano finish on the cover, the black colour all arround it, the leds, the TOSHIBA brand printed on the cover also, and all arround it in general, it looks like a James Bond thing or maybe more like a nice High Tech toy that can be easly featured in a movie.

    Nice, slick and catchy. Eye candy. People looks at it and they don’t ask me what kind of system it is, the first thing that say is “Hey that’s a nice Net!, how much did you payed for it?”

    Battery:

    And for the big finale, the battery. The star of this little baby of mine. In full charge it can back you up for NINE hours. Yes 9!. Its amnazing, you charge it in like 2 hours and it runs for 9 straight in full usage. In sleep mode it can run much much more of course.

    Travels, camping, outdoors, a long night of work or movie watching, several trips to college: forget recharge.

    9 hours is the hole idea of a portable! Or isnt it? There is no point in having a Netbook that will endure 4 hours and drop dead begging for a re charge.

    Imagine 9 hours of independent usage and you will realize you can get this Toshiba everywhere.

    Price, performance, design, it all adjusts to this Netbook to be an accesible product that can compete with the big Laptops at the same level and outrun most of them.

    Buy it.

    This netbook works better than my 4 year old laptop! but is less than half its size! even though it is supposed to be used for Internet use, pictures… I have my full size softwares, such as scientific word and mathematica… and they run perfectly. Veyr light and fits in my purse.

    I am really fond of small things, and computers are one of these. This netbook really gives you the things that you need in a netbook, fast boot up and does not hang up. Keep it up Toshiba!

    Very Good Product
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    This product is excellent! The only thing I’ve had a problem with is trying to upgrade the Windows 7 from “Starter” to Home Premium or Profesional. But I suspect the problem is not the computer but Microsoft’s servers which don’t recognize my home address as “valid” no matter how I try to write it. I’ve had the same home address for 20 years and it is compliant with all USPS requirements and all my mail arrives without a problem, including the notebook in question, which was delivered by FedEx.
