More attractive than the average netbook

Slow performer

Slow but colorful with long battery life, this netbook is simply typical of the category.

Touchpad is more spacious than pads on many much larger laptops. Dirt cheap. Battery life approaches 5 1/2 hours

Incredibly slow; would happily have paid the extra for another gig of RAM. Ultra-flat keyboard makes touch-typing massively error-ridden. We had forgotten that Windows 7 Starter Edition actually existed. Pretty darn ugly

Connectivity is provided through an 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity and a useful multi in one media card reader, The mini NB505′s boot time of 62 seconds is only slightly faster than the average netbook (66 seconds). The system’s 250GB, 5,400-rpm hard...

Su tamaño y peso la hacen portátil. Buena memoria RAM para hacer multitareas

La resolución de pantalla no es buena para ver imágenes o videos. El procesador no es del todo rápido como otros

Para los que gustan traer una computadora personal pequeña que puedan guardar en cualquier lugar, esta Netbook de Toshiba cumple con esa característica. Además, es útil para hacer trabajos sencillos que no requieran de muchos recursos.

My friend got this netbook not me ; All in all it seems pretty good

The ram for this laptop is listed wrong on the Newegg page ; When I went to put a 2 gig DDR2 stick in it was a no go. The stick in it said PC3 10600 which is DDR3 not ddr2. Be warned

Good netbook, works well for browsing the internet and watching media

Windows 7 Starter ties it down to bare basics. If you plan on upgrading the RAM, check the card first! The RAM that is stated it contains is not at all correct

Lightweight ; Portable ; Decent Hardware ; Very ergonomic, it actually doesn't feel much like a netbook ; 250 GB hard drive ; estimated 8 Hours of battery life ; three USB Ports ; 1 SD Card slot (same as used in digital cameras)

Windows 7 Starter Installed ; I get approx. 6 hours of work done out of a single charge ; Netbook gets Fatter back near battery makes it not as portable as I would like and makes it hard to find a small case for it that fits ; No CD/DVD ROM tray. I get...

For $300, this was an excellent buy. A common theme that I kept seeing while researching netbooks was memory. A lot of people seemed to think Windows 7 couldn't run satisfactorily on only 1GB of RAM, which is what most netbooks come with. I was annoyed...

The trackpad is still a bit strange to me. The soundcard is better than the one in my old Vostro 1500, but there is only one speaker, and it sounds horrible. This is ok because I didn't buy this for a home theater experience
