Well, I have used the machine now for over two weeks and I am still amazed that it works so well, at least at the level of my use, in terms of office programs, adobe photoshop (opens quite fast), internet and a bit of videos. It is so light that the 9 hr battery (which weighs double the rest of the machine) seems just too much of a luxury. In the beginning Firefox made a fuss at low intensity screen size (600x800 I guess) but it worked fine. Battery holds well for 9 hours if you do not use wireless connection.
I replaced the memory with a 2GB card I bought (not toshiba) and it recognized it quickly. And this is the first time ever I had done such a technical manouver.
The touch pad was too sensitive that the cursor was jumping all over, but Toshiba has a way (though I had to switch some 4 screens to get there) to block tapping while typing, and that was the cure. Keyboard, though small, did not give me much trouble (I type with all fingers).
So far so good and the price was just great too.
Since my previous experiences with Toshiba had not been that good (overheating, etc) I was having second thoughts, but Amazon prior reviews gave me confidence, and Thanks.Get more detail about Toshiba Mini NB205-N312/BL 10.1-Inch Royal Blue Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life.
