I had the NB204-N230 for about a week, and that the time to write a review. First, the unit itself is very well designed. It feels solid and well built, even if the screen when closed, do not tend to click the mouse buttons. This concern is not ", but not horrible. The screen, in the open position and a strong visual impact. The graphics are crisp and clear, the text is very readable and easy to use. Note that this is a netbook, not a trace laptop, if you have a much smaller screen (1024x600), you must get used to.

The battery has been good so far. With assets WiFi and running applications can recover at least 4 hours. My guess is that the quote was 9 hours with WiFi off (which is quite normal in testing the seller drums). The material is sufficient to run Windows 7 with Aero (the new interface) onwards, including the Aero-Peek previews on the taskbar and effects. iTunes, Thunderbird, Word 2007 and other applications smoothly, even if the video will stutter if there are other applications running.

All-in-all, this is a well-built that exceeds the Netbook of others in terms of power and functionality. Keep in mind that they are not here a laptop, and trying to run important applications such as Photoshop is not a pleasant experience for you. The same goes for games and other applications where high CPU utilization. However, the NB205-N230 is extraordinarily adept at managing e-mail and desktop applications, remote access to other computers and surfing websites.

I received the Toshiba netbook, two weeks ago. Needless to say, I spent some time because my favorites. This is my first PC, Windows 7. I discovered that Windows 7 has some limitations, with the background settings, etc. I also noticed that the fine in Windows Mail (Vista) is no longer available. I use Gmail. With another: the loudspeakers and headphones anemic necessary to enjoy the music.

I especially like the keyboard. I got the hang of it in a very short time and was able to e-mail and Word documents with almost the same speed on the keyboard in full screen on my desk. After about a day I am convinced that NB 205 with 1GB of memory has been rather slow. So I ordered the 2 GB of additional memory from Amazon. After replacing the 1 GB to 2 GB, I discovered that the speed and response time of the ordinary. I reached the speed and response times better when I added a speed 4GB SD card slot available and can SpeedBooster. (Available in Vista and W7)
It uses the fastest flash memory for paging instead of using the hard drive slower. But this little netbook computer running almost like my 6 GB HP desktop with Vista and a processor at 2.4 MHz I like his appearance, small keypad, speed. A packet of Nice. The display is crisp and clear. Range - outstanding. NB I used the 205 for 8 hours of battery life, and has never missed a beat. Wireless seems to work well.

I just got this computer. E 'connected to the Internet easily and seems to work well. Starter Windows 7 seems appropriate. Based on CNET reviews and consumer reports, I expect that the battery lasts 6,5-7 hours, which is very good. I have two complaints. First, the mouse has a tendency to stick to objects and not relax when the mouse button is released. I have to press the Esc key or three times to free it.

My second criticism is the mouse buttons are noisy. Make a "click" each time the buttons are pressed. The buttons on my Dell laptop is completely silent. I do not even think about this potential problem when I chose this device. I suppose most people do not care about this issue, but for me it is very annoying.
