Shop For Toshiba Mini NB205-N325PK 10.1-Inch Posh Pink Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)


I have 3 Acers, 1 HPs, 1 Samsung (the best) and this crappy Toshiba.

Good things:

a. Great Keyboard (which I dont use much since I have a wireless expanded one attached)
b. Nice Aluminim/Blue color (that does not help at all for it's performance)
c. Battery Life: Very Good.


Real thing:
I replaced the original RAM and placed a Crucial 2GB card as I had done to the rest of all of my other netbooks.

The Toshiba is not as fast overall. Samsung Netbook is by far the quickest to open, launch, start and shutdown. Samsung has not the strongest body. Acer does, however, for standard non-aggressive use, Samsung is the best of all. Also the battery never gets hot. Acer is the kind you can dump to the floor and no one will notice. Those two are just great. HP also is a fine computer.

Toshiba does not support multiple monitors. I bought this computer along with a 23" monitor and a wireless keyboard and mouse in order to have 2 different screenshots at sight, but the expanded desktop feature does not work, since the original cheap video card only supports one monitor with the same view as the Desktop in the Netbook's screen.

The unit looks very neat from the outide, and looks like a good value if all STANDARD TWENTYFIRST CENTURY's BASIC STANDARD TECHNOLOGY features came with it.
Please note I am not talking about cutting-edge stuff. Just plain basics.
But they are not included.

Covnersely, instead of cheap, it turned out to be expensive since it does not meet basic standards. I found out that Toshiba did not even bother to use Bluetooth techonology, point which I took for granted, but pals ... Toshiba does not grant anything. You need a magnifying glass to buy Toshiba before you do.

I called Customer service to ask about the EXPANDED DESKTOP which I could not make work , and they cordially said " We are sorry ... You can take your computer to Toshiba Service Center but you will have to pay yourself for your new multiple monitor Video Card ".

Just need to check Windows 7 help center, to find out they donot even contemplate such an instance. No computers are designed without this feature. Except Toshiba, of course.

Basically, I have a brand new left over 23" monitor, a brand new wireless Microsoft Keyboard and a wireless mouse which I will give my Son for his birthday since I cannot use it with my brand new Toshiba.

This Toshiba, is not used to what it was meant for, since lack of bluetooth and lack of multiple monitor support, turned it to a great shopping list computer.
WQhy be so pesimistic ???

I Type Milk, Salt, Peanut Butter and so on, and it works perfectly for that, since the keyboard is really nice.


It is a great Netbook for everyone's kitchen !!!!!!Get more detail about Toshiba Mini NB205-N325PK 10.1-Inch Posh Pink Netbook - 9 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter).
