Toshiba Mini NB205-N325BL 10.1-Inch Royal Blue Netbook Review

I checked out netbooks for regarding a pair of months, comparing all of the assorted options. Then I went on the road to envision them nose to nose and place my hands on the keyboard. I ended up selecting the Toshiba NB205-N325 as a result of it met all my criteria (Windows seven, upgradable RAM, nice battery life, and overall quality construction) and since it's the simplest keyboard for my hands. The chicklet keys are nice and therefore the sub-sized keyboard solely slows me down to a small degree from a full-sized version.

After searching all around I ended up shopping for it direct from Amazon. that they had the simplest worth on cyber monday of 329.99. apparently, the value is currently make a copy to 380+ therefore i suppose I got lucky with the timing.

I tossed the 2GB RAM upgrade into my searching cart and therefore the machine showed up at my door regarding eight days later.

Start up was a breeze. It found my home network and network printer while not a tangle. I downloaded chrome as my browser with no drawback, activated the Norton trial (still buying an antivirus program), and activated the free trial of workplace (I even have the software however haven't gotten around to activating my copy). I've plugged in many USB devices while not issue as well as a wireless mouse and external exhausting drive. No issues. The a hundred and sixty GB exhausting disk has lots of house and unless you intend to create and store movie files you must never want additional. when regarding an hour I shut back off and put in the 2GB RAM chip that is straightforward to try to to. you only take away one screw on atiny low cowl on the rear and therefore the chip is true there. Pop the previous one out and therefore the new one in, then begin make a copy. The user manual spells it out perfectly. I did not run it long enough on the 1GB chip to grant you a comparison on performance however with 2GB it appears as fast as my alternative laptops. i feel this upgrade may be a no-brainer if you intend to use your netbook for something over reading e-mail.

The only glitch I've had is with the show. regarding a pair of hrs when I started it up the show suddenly went crazy, jerking everywhere. i used to be talking on a cordless phone at the time and assumed it somehow interfered with the show. It happened once more just one occasion 2 days later solely I wasn't talking on the phone. each times I got it to prevent by putting it to sleep and then beginning make a copy (which solely takes a handful seconds). i do not recognize what to create of this however up to now it hasn't repeated itself and a minimum of i do know the way to stop it. If it happens once more i am going to decision Toshiba.

My overall impression is that i like this small guy. It will everything I wished it to try to to and is that the final in portability. i exploit it on and off all day, closing the lid when i am done that puts it to sleep. It wakes up nearly instantly, therefore this is often a good thanks to extend the battery. the sole time I plug it in is at midnight. I've never equated to running the battery down. The work and end of the machine are terrific.
