Toshiba Mini NB305-N410WH 10.1-Inch Frost White Netbook - 11 Hours of Battery Life Review

Toshiba Mini NB305-N410WH 10.1-Inch Frost White Netbook - 11 Hours of Battery Life
I have had this netbook for 2 weeks and after moderate use the only complaint is the keyboard. I find that at least 1 or 2 keys tend to stick down after being pressed, and they click back up after a second. It’s very unusual and I was not able to find a solution on the Toshiba technical support website.

Otherwise, the display is good, the size is great, and the battery life is as described. It’s a great way to browse the web and check email on the road or at play.

Acer Aspire One AOD250-1185 10.1-Inch Sapphire Blue Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life Review

Acer Aspire One AOD250-1185 10.1-Inch Sapphire Blue Netbook - 6.5 Hour Battery Life
This laptop is great. It’s so small it can fit in my purse! The keyboard is almost full (92%). My boyfriend has really big hands, so it’s a bit difficult for him to use, but I have no problems at all. The battery life is amazing. It really DOES last the 6 1/2 hours that it claims.

My only complaint with this laptop is it needs more RAM! If I demand too much of it, it gets really sluggish. I’ll probably open it up at some point and upgrade.

Toshiba Mini 300 Series NB305-N310 10.1-Inch Netbook - Black Onyx Review

Toshiba Mini 300 Series NB305-N310 10.1-Inch Netbook - Black Onyx
I too have carefully researched my decision to add a netbook as a in-between addition to my iPhone and Macbook Pro. I completely agree with the below reviews that this netbook really shines and is worth the extra money. I almost went with Asus but trying one out in-store, I did not like the trackpad and how cheap it felt in your hand. This netbook exudes quality in the hand and performs so well, you forget it is a netbook. I am only writing to add a warning to those where the following issues may be an issue. While the keyboard is full size and quite comfortable and the trackpad does have multi-touch, there a couple of issues that might be a problem for some. First the keyboard keys have a different responsiveness on the lower row of keys right next to the trackpad, especially the space bar. These keys take more pressure than the other keys which can throw you off at first. You have to make a mental note to press a little harder or you will be missing space keys, periods, commas, etc. If you use more than one computer, this takes a few moments of adjustments each time you are entering a lot of text but it is a flaw that can be overcome. Second, the trackpad and the multi-touch is a little sensitive. I haven’t found multi-touch specific adjustments for the pad, just an ability to turn it off and on and your normal control panel mouse options. The trackpad can sometimes hang-up or scroll very quickly.
These issues plus the Windows 7 starter don’t make me regret my decision to buy this netbook, they just make me appreciate my Macbook even more. I would suggest trying one out in store first and try scrolling through websites you use often. Also, try typing a paragraph on it to determine if it is the right choice for you.

Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 (NB200 series) 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life Review

Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 (NB200 series) 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life
Mines actually shipped with Windows XP installed instead of Windows 7 Starter, which is what I preferred anyways. Did not need to upgrade the RAM to 2GB because I use XP and ran mostly firefox, microsoft office, itunes, videos, etc. If you’re going to game, use photoshop, install windows 7 ultimate or other heavy apps then upgrade to 2GB RAM.

HP Mini 311-1000NR 11.6-Inch Black Netbook - Up to 6.25 Hours of Battery Life Review

HP Mini 311-1000NR 11.6-Inch Black Netbook - Up to 6.25 Hours of Battery Life
We bought our HP mini using the Verizon Fios promotion (0 !) and gave it to our teenager for Christmas. We added the external hard drive and got a custom color. Our child loves it. It’s light, perfectly portable, access Wi-Fi networks easily and is surprisingly easy to use even though it’s so small. Now I don’t have to unhook MY laptop from all the external drives and printers and can just grab this little guy. It is just perfect for what it is… better than an iPod touch or iPhone but more manageable than a regular laptop. It’s got a built in camera so we can video chat (on Skype) when she is at my ex’s. It’s perfectly capable handling all the demands of a High School student. I wish I had another 0 promotion certificate so I could get one for myself !!
