Customer Reviews

One of the best netbooks out there
Recently bought this from House of Fraser where they threw in a lovely red leather case for free. Been using it heavily for the last few days and it has been a joy to use.

Pros:

*Black is the new black
*Near full size trackpad and dedicated buttons, no rocker switch here
*Glossy screen is rich and vibrant
*RAM and hard disk are easily upgradeable
*Overall design is very good, doesn't feel cheap
*Option to produce restoration disc or restore from hard disk
*Ability to charge over USB whilst asleep
*Near full-size keyboard
*Only 1.18kg

Cons:

*Only a 3 cell battery (4 hours actual use)
*No Bluetooth
*Not the Intel Atom N280 (1.66ghz), only N270 (1.60ghz)
*No option to have single partition on hard disk unless you use your own copy of Windows XP
*Some pre-loaded Toshiba apps are extremely bloated

You can purchase the 6 cell battery separately for about £60 and you can add a micro Bluetooth dongle for less than £10 to gain the same functionality as the flagship model. I decided to install my own clean copy of Windows XP Pro since I like to tweak Windows, and it was a chore getting some of the Toshiba apps and drivers to work together (ConfigFree and Toshiba Value Add caused network issues). What swayed the decision for me was the design and colour. Black will never go out of fashion and compared to the silver flagship model, it simply looks classier and won't show signs of wear and tear over the years.

Highly recommended if you're in the market for a netbook and worth considering against the Samsung NC10 and Asus EEE 1000HE.

Toshiba Netbook
A well-made piece of good quality engineering. The keyboard is much better than earlier models and the product is well-priced to capture market share. Highly recommended to anyone who needs a netbook. Purchase of the RAM add-on is essential. An external DVD USB player/recorder is only needed if you do not have another computer in the house or office. Windows XP as the operating system is much better than Vista; my only criticism is that Windows XP Pro would have been a better choice, allowing logon to office networks without the purchase of a further licence.

Small star performer
Beautiful small powerful machine. Went on holiday with it, syncing cameras, surfing the net and facebooking was a dream. Its so small it fits into most room safes in hotels.
Great piece of kit.
