Take the Internet to more places with the long battery life and flexibility of a compact, lightweight netbook powered by the incredibly small, amazingly smart Intel Atom processor. It features a design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.66 GHz Atom N280 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).
While the highly portable nature of mini-notebooks exposes them to the knocks and bumps that are an inevitable feature of life on the move, the Toshiba mini NB205 features a 3D-accelerometer monitoring system that detects freefalls, shocks and vibrations and protects the integrated HDD to secure against the loss of any personal data.

 Danger- Toshiba customer service is horrid September 4, 2010
hscmit
This computer has a fatal error in it when used with the installed windows 7 starter. If your netbook is effected and you get the black screen of death they will not accept it back for repair. If you escalate the problem further they will accept it back, expect to pay shipping and wait about a month for the repair. The repair was not done correctly the first time. Sent back a second time and the repair was not done correctly the second time. This computer is worthless. Amazon was great in attempting to help resolve the issue. toshiba customer service hung up on amazon reps as well. I will never buy another toshiba product again
 Portability Good - Otherwise mediocre laptop August 28, 2010
Al D
If you're looking for a lightweight, portable machine then this is fine, though you should upgrade the memory module the 2gb. The first frustration is the screen size. If you browse the web you end up having to scroll more than you would with a full size screen. I didn't think about this until after I got it and would have been better off with a low cost, lightweight laptop for a few dollars more. On the plus side it had decent battery life and comes back on from hibernation very fast. Note also that the machine had a problem after 6 months, where it would not turn on anymore (no error message, just nothing). Tech support was horrible and after I shipped it to California, it turned out to be the memory module(from Crucial Tech), and they wanted to charge me to replace it because it was not Toshiba memory. I told them to just send it back. Of course they felt the need to wipe my hard drive first and then sent it back. This meant I had to start all over again loading software. Crucial replaced the module, but the Toshiba tech support (which is outsourced), never returned any of my calls or emails so I could not ask them to just leave it alone.
Bottom Line:
Pros: Portability, weight, battery life, price.
Cons: Slow, small screen, bad tech support.
 My white companion August 11, 2010
Lance (SLU, WEST INDIES)
First of all, this netbook gets a lot of attention because it is very elegant looking. The white finish is very appealing and the keyboard layout with the lifted keys and silver finish has people drooling all over this wonderful machine. It comes with Windows 7 started edition which has been pretty good so far except for the fact that you can't change your wallpaper, but there is plenty of software out there which will accomplish that for you. The battery life is another plus for this netbook, which can last up to 8 hours! At first I bought it primarily for school use, but I'm so impressed with this little gadget that I prefer it over my big old desktop. Its great for surfing the web, operating simple software and games. If you want to look cool and use a netbook that will last you for a very long time without charging up, then you should get this Toshiba netbook. I got it and I have no regrets.
Generally very pleased August 7, 2010

I bought this Toshiba netbook used for some overseas business travel. I am getting used to the computer. It has good battery life and is easy to drop into a carryon bag. I use the computer primarily for checking email and drafting sections of trip reports, and it has worked well for that purpose.
Here are some points to consider:
The accessories can up the price of the computer, when you consider an external drive and the basic needed software.
The computer is probably much slower than your desktop. Typing is no problem, but frequent interaction with the operating system or the internet will teach you patience. I do plan to increase the memory to 2 GB soon.
It is somewhat difficult to use the computer on a lap, chair arm, or something other than a hard, flat surface. You get frequent messages about the hard drive being moved to a safe position if the computer is not stable. I find it helpful to use a mouse at times, which requires a mousing surface.
The machine was driving me crazy because the cursor was moving around as I hit the touch pad while using the keyboard. There is a well-hidden setting as you work down through the touchpad menu that allows you to temporarily disengage the touchpad while keyboarding (and set the desired delay before the touch pad reactivates.) This setting has made it much easier to input text.
Great for college July 14, 2010
myrandomcat
This is a wonderful product for college students. It is made very well and is quite sturdy (considering I have dropped it on the floor a few times and it has worked).
Pros:
1. Great Battery life. It lasts very long when fully charged.
2. Light weight- great for students toting around books and such.
3. It works just great with the windows products such as word, excel...
4. Very sturdy.
5. The keyboard is not too small- just right. You can easily type long papers on it without cramping your hands.
6. It has a webcam.
Cons:
1. The web cam is not the best quality and tends to shut off in the middle of a skype convo.
2.After awhile, the mouse pad starts to flake out. (Ive had it for about a year and a half and its just starting to malfunction.)
3.The speakers are not very loud but keep in mind that it is a tiny computer.
Overall, I really love this computer and would recommend it to any buyer. When making your choice as to whether to buy a netbook or a regular laptop, remember netbooks are only meant for the basics- so don't expect any great speakers or fancy features.
