Toshiba Mini NB205-N330PK 10.1-Inch Posh Pink Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
Toshiba Mini NB205-N330PK 10.1-Inch Posh Pink Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review
I’ve been browsing around for awhile in search of the right netbook and I finally (sorta) settled down on this Toshiba mini NB205 N330. I say sorta because I actually haven’t bought it yet but I’ve tested it–as well as other netbooks–numerous times whenever I visit an electronics store.
A great feature of this netbook is its keyboard. I’m mainly using this netbook to takes notes in class and the buttons are the right size for my fingers which makes typing a whole lot more efficient and satisfying. I find myself making less typos with this extra space in between each button than when I was testing with other netbook keyboards.
There is a ~ difference between the Toshiba N225 and N330. And that’s because the N330 can hold 250GB (instead of 160) of HD space and supports bluetooth.
Currently, all netbooks won’t have any other versions of Windows 7 other than the Starter so its unfair to rate a netbook off of its OS. Theres a hidden link on Microsoft’s website that allows students to order Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional for only (offer expires January 3rd I think) so take advantage of that if you’re a student. I’ve already ordered mine so I won’t have to deal with Windows 7 Starter when I get my netbook.
This netbook is a chip away from being perfect only because the speaker is terribly placed underneath the netbook which makes very poor sound. I really hope Toshiba is listening to reviews and fix the speakers.
One more downside is the battery pack that sticks out a good inch or 1/2 inch. That means you won’t be able to get a 10.2in case but rather go for something a little bigger OR a 10.2in case with a flap top.
As for now, I will await for Black Friday and pray that this NB205 N330 will be on sale that very day. Even better would be if they release another version with improved sound and slap it on sale for black friday.
