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.
