Toshiba Mini NB205-N230 Review

Yesterday i received my Toshiba Mini Laptop NB205-N230 and so far this is my best purchase this year.

It is perfect for what I bought it for: taking notes in class and when I am traveling.

What I like about is the fact that it is a fast little thing for what components are in it.

Impressive battery life, they say 9 hours, but its really around 7 (that's still really good).

The whole look is adorable, very cute.

Keyboard is very nice and handy, some of the buttons (enter and the right shift) are a bit small, but i got used to it. I can live with that.

What you should keep in mind:

Windows 7 starter - It is not a "full" OS even if you don't care about style/personalization/etc this works well.

Even If I care about having my full OS so i bought a student copy of windows 7 (ultimate) for about $30.
Take in mind that you need to be a student (or at least have an email address that ends in .edu

If you just want to be on the internet this is the perfect little computer. Don't get this if you are thinking to get any game play or lots of hard processes.

The mouse pad is easily touched by your thumb while typing, even if there is an easy fix for this. Go into your mouse pad software and look for something that says "tap click" and there will be many options to play with. (if you install a "Real" copy of windows 7 you will have to download the Synaptics driver enable to do this.)

The cam sucks; .2 mgp is not good at all, very pixelated images.

You aren't purchasing this for a webcam you are purchasing this to have a handy computer. If you want a better webcamera for this computer go to the shop and drop around $30 on a good webcam.

Upgrade your RAM its cheap, i got it for $44. I did a bit of research and found that it is the cheapest you will find it any where else.

You do have to install it yourself, this is super easy: unscrew a panel in the bottom of the NB205 and take out the old one and pop the new one back in. Screw the panel back in, and POOFFFF you now have two gigs of RAM!

Like I said before: I just got this computer so I have not spent too much time with it. If I find any problems or benefits I will post them later on.

Scottish people 'drink 46 bottles of vodka'

Now there is a surprise:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/8463333.stm

Adults in Scotland are drinking the equivalent of 46 bottles of vodka each in a year, a study has suggested.

The research was based on industry sales data analysed by NHS Health Scotland.

It said sales for the year to September 2009 averaged 12.2 litres of pure alcohol per person over the age of 18.

To be honest, I don't really think Scots like Vodka that much. From my observations I can confidently say that most of them drink beer (larger or traditional).

The article makes me laugh because it reminds me of a few occasions I have had the pleasure of having a conversations with a drunk Scot.

Usually we would talk for about 30 minutes, me nodding most of the time, and not having a clue what we are on about.

Why am I losing inches but not weight? - is a question I get asked quite often. http://www.whyaminotlosingweight.com/why-am-i-losing-inches-but-not-weight/

Lady Gaga and Susan Boyle in 2009

"Lady Gaga's single Poker Face and Susan Boyle's debut album I Dreamed A Dream were the UK's biggest-selling records of last year. Lady Gaga's debut single Just Dance also made it to number three in the singles chart of 2009." - Frankly I can't believe how these two women became so famous ! I mean L. Gaga is more like a clown than a singer. She is trying to put the attention on her fancy clothes rather on her singing! That's it! When I first heard "Just Dance" I was "WTF!" and the same situation had happen when I listened the new one "Bad Romance". I can't understand why the people do like this song so much .. it sound a bit turkish/arabian.. Just don't work for me.. "Boyle's debut album sold more than 1.5m copies in six weeks. Lady Gaga's single Poker Face shifted 800,000 copies. Lady Gaga and Susan Boyle have captured the public imagination and made the charts their own in less than a year"WTF! Susan Boyle! Come on! How long will last all this! She could sing, she was cute, she took the hearts of the public,.. she was perfect! .. but then after all marketing - in the newspapers, on the tv news, on the internet, and don't forget her mental issues - Susan Boyle just lost her brightness! "Lady GaGa's The Fame is at number two, with Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream in third place."After all it seems i don't like both of them, but there are people who likes them.. So good luck to everybody who listen this two "singers" and take care to your ears! ;) See also: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8439029.stm http://www.whyaminotlosingweight.com/
