Toshiba Mini NB205 User Reviews

Great little Netbook, by torturedheroes.com

“This unit has a generous amount of USB connectors. At 3 it has more then my MacBook has which is great in this tiny package. It also has a ethernet port, Mic and Headset jack, and of course a SD/SDHC card slot. With its long batter life, like weight, great style, I think I am going to enjoy carrying this around and not minding it.”

Perfect for what it is by nipaddy

“I bought it for remote access to my company’s server so I could prepare reports from the road and not have to drive 1-2 hours to my office. For this and for internet browsing, it has been perfect. Two others in my office have Asus and HP netbooks and this Toshiba blows them away, if for nothing else the keyboard layout. Wi-fi reception has been much better than the laptop I previously used, so I have no complaints at all.”
