Hassan Kahrobai ( ann arbor, michigan, US ) I received my Toshiba Mini NB305-N410BN 10.1-Inch less than a month ago. I Had an NB205 before running on the Windows XP. The NB305 runs on Windows 7 starter. I am disappointed with my purchase. the computer is very slow, In fact so slow that the courser is always behind a step making it so difficult to type anything fast. I have to take time in between so the computer can catch up with me (I am so slow in typing, in fact I type with two fingers only). The problem is that Toshiba did apparently not think about the Windows 7 demanding operating system before marketing this product to the public. Sounds like another Japanese product gone Toyota way.
The worse is that the customer service leaves you with no solution, they know it! I asked if I could convert to Windows XP! The answer was that I am on my own w/o any customer support as soon as I load Windows XP.
It is really sad to pay more for the newest product and yet you realize what they sold to you has less performance than their older product.
I am totally disappointed and most likely return my Toshiba perhaps for an ACER!

Nat I bought this model based on the fact that it came preloaded with the Windows Office suite. However, it is just a trial version, which I only realized after spending an hour on the phone with both Amazon and Toshiba. It is very misleading, because there is a product key that comes with the machine; however, the site does not recognize it once you put it in.

Music Mama Rob ( Cos Cob, CT USA ) I bought this netbook one week after it came on the market, as soon as I heard the battery had been redesigned with a smaller profile.
I'm in love with the chicklet keyboard. It separates the keys and my hands never slip off of "home row." The keyboard did take about two days to break in -- the keys were unresponsive some of the time -- but now everything is very smooth. I'm a speed typist, and I find this keyboard much easier to use than my kids' 15" laptop with the traditional flat keyboard, where I always felt like my fingers would lift up the keys or or lose their place.
The battery lasts a VERY long time. The operating system easily accepts all kinds of attachments without a hitch (such as a wired mouse, a wireless mouse, a DVD drive, my e-reader device).
Set up was a breeze and the large hard drive is a boon for loading the various software that I like to use.
For those who care about looks, the Java Brown (chocolate) color is different, unique, and gives a feeling of elegance. My friends really like it.
Is there anything I would change? Well, I'd like it to be about a pound lighter, but that would make it even more expensive. I think the shut down phase takes a little too long, but that's minor. At least the wake-up from sleep mode is fast.
This is my first netbook, but I've been shopping around for quite a while. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

R. DeJonghe ( Davison, MI ) I will admit this is my first netbook but I do have two laptops and two other desktops in the house. The keyboard is absolutely great on this machine, it is what attracted me to the Toshiba initially. I have had this machine for about a week now and so far there is nothing that I can really complain about. The battery life is incredible, although I have yet to try to drain it. Today the machine was on, but not in constant use, for over six hours and it still showed 40% battery life. The screen is very good and even though only 10.1" I am forgetting that I'm on a small machine. Very spacious hard drive at 250GB. This prompted me to permanently move my iTunes collection to this machine so that I can update my podcasts and sync regularly while travelling.
I purchased the machine primarily as a personal and entertainment machine while travelling for business. I am able to keep it next to my full size work laptop while responding to email or other tasks and easily "jump" over to it to access Gmail or Facebook (prohibited on the company issued laptop). I have also used it to stream Netflix while in a hotel with little issue, any issues were mainly to poor wifi coverage in the room.
Toshiba has done a very nice job of setting up a variety of very useful Function+F key shortcuts. Mute,Lock,Sleep,Power Mode,Hibernate,Brightness,Wifi can all be accessed with a quick keystroke.
The sleep mode actually works very well and "wakes" to a ready to use state in mere seconds.
Win7 Starter is really not bad, little functionality has been removed so as to keep the user from bogging down the system with too many option but still I find very usable and you really don't miss the removed functions. You can look a very good comparison matrix by Paul Thurrott here.
Since this machine is upgradeable to 2GB of RAM I most likely will just to pepp it up a but right now I LOVE THIS MACHINE and recommend it highly to anyone, even if a little on the pricey side!
