Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 10.1-Inch Netbook
The Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 is everything you need in a computer, however it's small enough to hold in one hand! Weighing in at just under 3 pounds and featuring the latest Intel Atom (the 280) the Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 is a steal.
Here are a few specs:
- The processor is the Intel 1.6 GHz Atom N280 processor. Not only is this CPU really quick, it uses a lot less electricity to perform calculations thus allowing us to achieve a 9 hour battery life! Sweetness. You can have this Netbook on all day without being plugged in.
- For those of you with "fat fingers" this Netbook comes with a full size keyboard! No compressed keys here guys.
- 160 GB hard drive with some pretty cool technology for those of us that drop stuff by accident...and impact sensor! The impact sensor on the hard drive detects motion & speed. If the physical speed of the netbook is too fast (as in a drop from the table for example) it will automatically put the hard drive in a safe state.
- 1 GB of ram for Windows XP is perfect. With this amount of RAM you'll be able to load multiple websites, work on documents, listen to music or chat...all at the same time! You can also upgrade the ram to 2 GB should you need more.
- Many people buy netbooks for Skype. With this Toshiba netbook you'll be able to video chat via skype or any other instant messenger service.
- It has 3 USB ports, so you'll be able to attach up to 3 additional devices (like a phone or an ipod). The great thing about these USB ports is that you can charge your attached devices even when the netbook is turned off or sleeping!
- Your choice of network connections are here. The Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 has built-in support for Wireless (B and G signals) and 10/100 ethernet connections.
- You won't have to connect your camera just to look at those picture on the memory stick because the NB205-N210 has slots for memory cards (SD, SDHC and MMC).
- Listen to audio privately with the built-in headphone jack. The NB205-N210 also has a microphone jack in case you want to add an external mic.
- The Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 comes loaded with Windows XP home. The Windows XP OS is very light on Netbook hardware, which allows you to do the things you want to do quickly.

I got this machine for travel and I wanted a decent sized keyboard and a long lasting battery. I got all of that and a bit more. It does all the things a notebook should and it does them well. No complaints from me because it does what I expected.
I bought this netbook about 6 months ago. After 6 months this netbook is still running great. For the price, you can't beat it. Great for people who travel a lot and students. It easily fits on airplane trays and in college desks, unlike the more clunky laptops. The processor is speedy and the 160GB Hard Drive should be more than enough room for whatever your plans are with a netbook. It's very durable, I've dropped it a few times in class from a height of about 3 feet and haven't had any problems with it. The webcam and mic are also better than I was expecting. The video card isn't great, but that's to be expected with a netbook. Playing games isn't always possible with the integrated video card, but watching movies is no problem. Overall great netbook, highly recommended.
I'll just say this: This thing is able to run After Effects CS3, OpenOffice and Firefox simultaneously, no problem. Sapped the battery but that's a small downside to have that capability. God bless!
This is an awesome machine with lots of power and style. I can find no downside: even with only 1gb main memory (expandable to two) I can do anything I want with it. Yes, HD video can have playback issues (waiting for the large files to load) but most everything else is spot on. The keboard is excellent even for larger laptops. If I were to look for caveat it would be the ability to view in indirect sunlight--you can't do it well. But seeing I'm usually home or Starbucks, that has not been an issue for me. I am a web designer so at times I deal with large files, the netbook handles them well. Is it as powerful as a full size laptop or desktop? No. But then again it depends on the power you need. For me this fits the bill nicely. I recommend this product!
AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I ORDERED THIS FROM COSTCO LAST SEPTEMBER & I'M SO GLAD I DID. I USE IT EVERY DAY AND IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY. GREAT TOSHIBA QUALITY, GOOD KEYBOARD, FAST START UP AND SCREEN IS AMAZING...YOU FORGET HOW SMALL IT IS! LIGHT ENOUGH TO HOLD ON MY LAP & WEB SURF WHILE I WATCH TV. BATTERY CAN DRAIN FAST WHILE IN STORAGE, BUT IT'S SUCH A FUN LITTLE MACHINE THAT I USE IT ALL THE TIME & JUST KEEP IT PLUGGED IN. PROTRUDING BATTERY ON BACK MAKES IT MORE STABLE AND LESS TIPPY, BUT ALSO HARD TO FIND A FITTED CASE FOR, SO I TRIED A CASE MADE FOR A PORTABLE DVD PLAYER, AND THAT WORKED GREAT. PLAYS VIDEO BETTER THAN MY POWER HP VISTA SETUP. MATCH IT WITH A SET OF HIGH QUALITY HEADPHONES & YOU'LL BE READY TO GO.
