Battery sticks out a bit.
Awkward keyboard makes you feel like a n00b typist. Lame screen hinge detracts from the netbook's otherwise good looks. Setup puts you through an irritating game of 20 questions
Abstract: Toshiba wasnt exactly the first PC maker to jump into the netbook arena, as many of its key rivals staked out territory there first. However, that doesnt mean it cant be a serious contender. With its Mini nb205, we think it becomes just that. Pre-lo...
The look is hot! Good performance on video playback, stellar battery life.
Poor speaker location.
Being late to the game has its advantages; you learn from other companies’ experiences and make yours better. Toshiba did a good job at that with its first Netbook. The Toshiba mini NB205 has good processing power for a Netbook thanks to the N280 pr...
Abstract: There are a lot of netbooks on the market and they seem to all have the same specs, so I really didn’t expect much from the NB205 that I hadn’t experienced with other netbooks. After all the NB05 is slightly bigger than other netbooks from HP and Lenov...

Distinctive design; large touch pad, great battery life.
