So watch out for that. I always thought netbooks sucked.
This is my first netbook (and first Toshiba) but traveling with a 17" laptop was just too much trouble. After reading the reviews and comparing specs the Toshiba NB505 looked to be the best and now that I have it, I love it. If you are trying to set this netbook up without a computer that is already connected to the internet, it is a bit more tricky, conclusions after playing with the netbook for 6 hours, I really like it. I was definitely taxing its single core 1.66 MHz brain, but it handled it pretty well.
I have been typing on every netbook I've come across for at least a year, and so far this keyboard has been the best one. Something about the way it's laid out just makes it seem more expansive.
It is much faster than I thought it was going to be and thus far has handled everything I have thrown at it with ease. If you want to play high end games or develop, then get the Qosmio! Better and larger Touchpad. Buy yours before Toshiba realizes this machine has the best value/price ratio. I installed it and it has worked fine. It is a DDR3 not DDR2 module which is what I think Toshiba sent me.
Let me start off by saying that this was my first ever laptop of any kind. So far everything works except networking (internal and wireless). Still not sure why the networking is having trouble though all the other drivers seemed to work. I realized how with simple upgrades it worked great, was portable, and did everything nicely. I decided I wanted one. I can't think of any complaints. It's not a laptop, it's a netbook.
I had similar problem as one of the other reviewers. Right out of the box and it wouldn't start up.
Once you add RAM and configure it correctly (see cons), it actually becomes very fast. The inclusion of a cut-down MS Office 2010 and Norton 30-day trial is very convenient. You have to sort of pry the card out when you want it out, but if you leave a card docked there, like I do, it's not a problem and it doesn't dangerously stick out the side of the machine when you are putting it into a case. Plus they save the cost and complexity of a spring. It's advertised mainly as a communication device for Web browsing, email and Skype but I've already put it through some serious software and graphics loads without a hiccup. I wasn't planning on using it for heavy-duty PC-like applications but it looks like it will be able to handle anything I dish out without objection.
