I have had this computer for just about a month. This is a great little computer for someone who is looking to supplement their primary PC. I travel extensively for work, and on the last trip, to Hawaii, I did not even bring my work issued laptop. Down and back, got very close to the 9 hr battery life. Got used to the keyboard with no problem. So far everything has been perfect. Thanks for making a computer that allows me to leave the big laptop at home.

I recently purchased this computer after having an Asus 900 for only 10 months and being disappointed with that one. The Toshiba has an easy to use keyboard, great battery life and is quick. Will enjoy using it when traveling.

I have really enjoyed this laptop. It's very lightweight and portable.There are a few teenagers around here and they like to move around and it's easy for them to go where they want. I use it to pay bills and online shopping & it's all I need, without the bulk of a full size laptop. The price was also very reasonable!

I researched all the netbooks and this one stood out. I like that the battery life lasted for 8 hours and it was easy to use. I was able to get the accessories that I needed from the website. My wife is the that uses the computer and shes loves it. It was easy to setup the wireless network, the keyboard is a good size and she mainly uses it for the internet. The size and portability is great. My wife can be in the bedroom while I can be using the desktop in another room.

I purchased this Mini-laptop Online from a major retailer, and didn't know what to expect. All of my expectations have been exceeded. On a visual comparison from this toshiba to the others netbooks, you can see a far better build. Keyboard and buttons are all solid and firm with a nice sparkle finish. The top lid is a nice glossy black and resembles carbon fiber.... It's 10" screen is a perfects size and it is crisp and clear. Unlike some netbooks with the tiny 8" screen; which i think is too small... The built in webcam is perfect for all of your video calling and chats. Now performance wise, i cannont complain. Even though it is a 1.66ghz processor, and with 1Gb of ram, it still is unbelievably quick. And I have heard of a certain reviewer who does multi-tasking without any problems whatsoever... Internet connections are in an instant. You'll be browsing the net just as soon as u can open the lid. 160gb of storage is plentious for all of your pictures,files, movies, etc..... Now add energy star rating, a 9 hour battery ,great price, and lightweight, and you have one of the best, (if not the best) mini laptops out there.......

The time and effort I spent researching different netbooks on the internet and hands-on review of the NB205 at stores was worth it. Of course, I was enticed by more expensive netbooks. However, I set a cap on what I was able to spend and I certainly received twofold what I wanted. Despite the blogs about the extended size of the longer lasting battery, this netbook is sleek, sophisticated, and very functional. What I like about it most is the comfortable feel of the keyboard and let's face it, that's half the battle!

Love everything about this netbook. Battery life is 7-8 hours. Perfect size to travel with. Quickly connects wirelessly. At first, the smaller key pad was a challenge but I quickly adapted to it.

This netbook is great, overall. Here are a couple of problems I had. The touchpad can be bad at times, i.e. it lags and skips. (However, I use a Nano mouse, so this doesn't affect me much.) When I first bought my netbook, I had to reinstall the audio driver from Realtek's website because the audio was playing on the speaker AND in my headphones. The manual didn't have sufficient information about what the function keys did. I had to try them out, like the wifi switch. Lastly, it would have been better for me to get a SSHD in it, since I use it in my car as an mp3 player. On the upside, I like the fact that you can upgrade to 2GB of ram. (Though 1GB is sufficient for internet, music, etc.) The keyboard is an excellent size for a laptop, and easy to use, not too small. The battery life is pretty long (6-cell). When everyone else doesn't want to lug their widescreen 19" laptops around, I can still carry mine very easily in the case I bought for it. That reminds me, the screen ratio is excellent. Hope this helps.

Great value for the price, easy set up and use. No problems, no issues. I also purchased the 2GB ram module after I bought the laptop, with the hopes of expanding the 1GB to 3, but could only upgrade to the 2.

Very reliable, keyboard is the best compare to other brand netbooks. Simple yet it does its job. You can't expect a netbook to do a laptop storage capacity in the long run but overall quality I really like it. Very convenient as well - easy to carry on anywhere!

Purchased August 2009. I am happy with the netbook features, performance is good, I was expecting a little better clock speed, but it is PC. I am very pleased with battery life, I hope I can maintain performance in this area over time. Unit has had to recover once from an unknown fatal error, but no problems again thus far. Price-value is very fair. Overall I am pleased with my purchase at this time.

I'm a mathematician. I bought the NB205 to do one thing, to compile and render images of LaTex code (for mathematics typesetting) while on the go. I was expecting the NB205 to be small but slow. It is not slow at all! It is super fast. It is almost as fast as my top of the line high end laptop. in other words, incredibly fast. It launches programs fast. It is awesome! The keyboard is great. The layout is great. The software utilities are great. WOW! I am not easily impressed but this little beauty is AWESOME. When at home, I hook it up to an external monitor and after adjusting the resolution settings, I have nice dual monitor machine. It is so lightweight I just throw it in my bag and think nothing of it. The battery will last about 9 hours, maybe more. Wow! The internet works great. I am 100% happy with it. One thing though. It doesn't come with recovery disks. So unless you have an external DVD burner, you are kind of stuck -- unless you can figure out a good work around. This is the best little netbook I've played around with. BUY IT! One note of caution. The main draw back to this (and all netbooks) are there small screens. If you need a big screen with multiple windows open, no net book will be good for you.

I have used every kind of laptop/desktop possible over the last 20 years, and this Toshiba has turned out to be the best computer for the money I've ever purchased. The keyboard is super easy to key on, and the bright viewing area makes it seem like the display is much larger than 10 inches. My one suggestion is to NOT install Windows 7. I tried Windows 7 on it...and it ran both sluggish and erratic (even with 2gb of RAM). I put Windows XP back on - and it runs quick and efficient again. You can't go wrong purchasing the Toshiba NB205-N210!

I brought my mini on vacation and it was great. Besides being light and easy to travel with I was able to keep up with emails, check the weather and even play a game when I had some down time. If I'd had a few minis with me I could have sold them to family and friends! Everyone was very impressed by it!!

This is a great little netbook. The only 2 comments that I have ...one negative, one positive. The touchpad is too sensitive causing the curser to jump when typing. The battery however deserves an award for its ability to last nine hours! It really does last nine hours! In short its a great little laptop that does exactly what Toshiba says it will do!

I got my netbook about 3 months ago to use for school and it is great. The only semi-negative thing about it is that it has no memory, but I knew that so I just use a flash drive to save all of my files. It's really fast and gets good internet connections wherever I go. It also starts up pretty quickly. The long battery life is great for school--don't have to carry around a power cord and if I forget to charge it, I don't even worry. Another negative about it is that the speakers are really quite even when the volume is up all the way, but if you plug headphones in, the sound is loud and the quality of sound is pretty good as well. Overall, for the money I think this is a great product and well worth it.

I'm happy with this Toshiba notebook. I was comfortable buying it because of my positive experiance with my Toshiba Satellite. The MS Word processing software and power point reader are added bonuses. Small and yet easy to view. Light with long battery life. Shop around for a Toshiba hard case and you have great little carry-around computer.

I did a lot of research before I bought this netbook. I have to say that it has held up to all of its reviews. Long lasting battery. Good keyboard layout. Didn't take much to adapt to. Love the screen clarity. Fingerprints can be an issue but what laptop doesn't have that problem. This little thing is perfect for taking to class at my local college. Had it up and running within minutes. If you are considering a laptop, I would highly recommend this one to anyone.

I am quite happy to have this laptop. It's small, portable, and has decent speed. It's pretty simple, which for me is a good thing because I kind of hate using most computers. The downsides include absence of CD thinger, which means if you want to watch movies you have to buy an external optical drive. Also it does not have the most up to date programs like Microsoft office, though they do have a Microsoft works. I guess the screen and key board are rather small, but I like them and really what else would you expect from a mini lap top? None mini things? No. So over all, love this product, and suggest it to anybody looking for a lappy for simple needs such as interwebs and portability.

This was the perfect computer for me during Graduate school--I carry it with me literally every where and the long battery life is great for being in class all day. It has much more memory than I realized as well...I run Microsoft Office and 2 statistics programs on here as well as keep several word docs on my harddrive.

I purchased this through Toshiba Direct online and couldn't be more pleased with how easy it was to do. Between the financing, service, and lower costs for accessories, I came out far ahead of what I would have done going through a "big box" store--and with far, far less hassle. It was an A+ online shopping experience for an excellent product.

Had this laptop for about 2 months now with no problems. The battery last really long the keyboard is really comfortable. The only drawback is that there is no bluetooth and no cd drive. Although you can buy an accessory to install bluetooth, you need a cd drive to install the device. Not that big of a deal its just the only drawback. Everything else about the computer is perfect. A great buy.

Love the NB205! I just returned a competitor's net book because it was simply not up-to-par, with two hardware issues already cropping up in the first couple of days. The Toshiba is by far better built, with a solid, full-size keyboard, speedy processor and beautiful screen. Although I don't care as much for the the touch pad on the NB205 (it could use a nicer material under the finger - I've never liked a Toshiba touch pad) but other than that, this net book is simply perfect! I am SO glad the other brand broke during warranty, allowing me to get this one!!!

The NB205-N210 is exactly what I needed. Small enough to carry around. Great battery life and powerful enough to do all my computing tasks. It is what I have come to expect from Toshiba, reliable.

I am happy with the performance, but I also added the extra RAM. Having the DVD drive as a plug in is a hassle, but the compact size and light weight makes up for it. The only negative is that the mouse pad is a little fickle...perhaps it is me vs. the computer.

Just picked up this netbook, intended to buy a eeePC, but the features for the price were superior in this unit. 9.3hr battery, lightweight, almost full size keyboard. Ready to use right out of the box, fully charged in only a couple of hours! So far I love it! Very easy to set up new programs, etc.

A really nice netbook that I plan to use for travel and use in kitchen area mostly for email and calendar. My only complaint is that even after downloading a new sound driver, there is almost no sound. Had to use headphones to watch a tv show from the internet. Wish they would fix this.

I installed the additional 1GB of memory when the computer arrived so I cannot judge the basic Netbook. My primary fault with the computer is the small screen, I have tried several settings in Outlook and still find it less than desirable when reading mail.

Almost all netbook PCs have the same spec and function, but this PC`s battery life is worthy of buying. Sound system will be the only problem. Hand-free microphone is barely tolerated and if you don't turn off the mute on the microphone, it makes annoying, hashy noise when you boot up the computer.
