4 out of 5 stars First netbook, first PC for a Mac guy, so take with a grain of salt   June 24, 2010
Sam
110 out of 119 found this review helpful

I've never really used a PC for more than a few minutes at a time at a friend's house. I've been a Mac guy since 1992 when I began college and first got into graphic design. I have always hated Windows and I have always thought non-Macs felt like cheap junk, the interface always seemed difficult and clunky whether it was Windows 95 or XP. I have only tested Vista and 7 in the stores until I finally bought the bullet and just decided to get this little netbook... because, let's face it, Apple dropped the ball with that iPad crap.

Well, I've only had this thing for 3 days and it didn't take long to get used to. Some helpful people online told me which freeware to get to remove the extraneous crap Best Buy had installed on the machine and apparently I'm good to go with a couple free Antivirus programs. I probably won't be downloading any .exe or .zip files from warez, porn or music stealing sites on this thing just because I wouldn't really want to risk it; I'll do that on my mac. Not that I do that sort of thing.

I'm not sure what this is really good for. I have a text editor now so I can do some HTML/CSS/PHP in a pinch, but I'm not sure I'll ever really need to. Believe it or not, I pretty much got it just to test websites on the fly with IE8... since I do web design for a living, it just becomes inconvenient to always rely on browsershots, when I can check back and forth with my little buddy and see what's fugged up in Intercrap Exploder. It works for that just fine. The portability is an added bonus! And the price is right!

For people who want to write their novel in Starbucks or people who waste money on this sort of crap purely to surf the net, this would be a great choice! I'll be taking this on long trips for instant access to Google maps if I need it. For others like me who are not iPhone/Blackberry crazy, this is also useful for that kind of thing.

Youtube, Facebook, and pretty much any website I've tried (including some rather large ones I designed myself) look excellent on this thing. Fit on the screen well and not so small that it's hard to read. This is a great little thing to watch videos on when you're stuck somewhere without a tv, too... unlike an iPhone, which is painfully small to watch anything on for more than 3 minutes.

Keyboard is quality. Not junky feeling like most other PCs I've touched. Compared to the Acer, Dell and HP netbooks I've played with in the store, this thing feels like a Rolls Royce or something. Nice, solid little machine.

On a broadband wifi, it's as fast as you could ever want or need.

Toshibas don't come with a lot of bloatware, either. I only had to delete the Best Buy marketplace software and Norton Utilities.

Great battery life, great monitor brightness, color and clarity, Windows 7 is awesome!

All in all, a great purchase. Very satisfied.



4 out of 5 stars great machine for the money   August 3, 2010
home user
14 out of 14 found this review helpful

I chose this laptop for the price and the keyboard. The latter is one of the few keyboards where the keyboard is "almost" as good as a full keyboard, and allows me to type fast and efficiently with adequate response. I havent tested battery life very thoroughly but suppose it to be in the average of 6 hours or so when used vigorously. I had to remove all of the Toshiba and Bestbuy bloatware. My advise is to remove at once the Norton Antivirus (their post expiration offer with a rebate for this is sheer misleading....see other posts) Once you have got rid of that ensure that you do not have more than one antivirus operating...if you have several it can effect internet functionality big time.

in order to get my companies MS office 2007 on the machine and supported I had to upgrade from the windows 7 starter to Windows 7 professional. If I hadnt needed to do that, I probably would have stuck to windows starter, which does most other things OK. The upgrading which cost an extra 100 dollars and a bit, was extremely difficult to do, but I got MS assistance with no extra charge (surprise surprise) from their customer service and it was of a very high quality indeed.

This little computer is really fast, faster than my office computer, faster than any other laptop todate....the pine processor is really satisfactory, There are more than enough USB ports and most of the time at home I hook it up to a widescreen monitor which looks good.

I have an Ipad as well as well as this Toshiba and find my usage split 50/50, the Ipad for sheer reckless indulgent consumption of media and reference material, but I have to resort to the Toshiba for actually doing anything creative or office work. Due to the fact that the Toshiba is barely noticeable when stuffed into a briefcase, if I had to have one or the other I would take the Toshiba.

This isnt a technical review, I am not that way inclined, but in conclusion I have to say that even if this computer only lasts a couple of years it will at this price point be great value for money.



5 out of 5 stars Best netbook I saw   August 27, 2010
gators
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I think this is a fantastic netbook. I played with several others but they all felt very cheap to me and their keyboards especially felt like toys. The Toshiba definitely is a smaller keyboard so is not as nice to type on as a full-sized laptop keyboard, but it is the best I saw on a netbook and is very usable with a little getting used to. I bought this Toshiba for my mom who loves it. We have an older Lenovo widescreen laptop that is pretty large, but my mom loves how small and light the netbook is and brings it to the table every morning while she reads the paper and has coffee. She still uses the Lenovo for typing long emails, but everything else she now does on the netbook. Keep in mind that it comes with Vista Starter edition, which is fairly limited in terms of functionality. My main complaint is that she wanted to change the background and Starter edition doesn't allow you to do this (although there are several small programs that allow you to do this, but they must run in the background..normally only consuming less than 1mb of RAM).

The mouse touch pad is also very large on this Toshiba, bigger than the average laptop. Some of the other netbooks had these raised dots on the touch pad that was an interesting idea, but I just didn't like the feel of it.

I would definitely recommend the Toshiba, and based on what else I saw out there right now, this is definitely my favorite.



4 out of 5 stars Audio is disappointing   August 29, 2010
MikeInOhio (Lorain, OH United States)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I purchased this netbook to accompany me on a week-long road trip and having just returned from that trip, I'm writing this review.

I needed to be able to access the Internet via WiFi during meal breaks and rest stops and at night in my motel room and the Toshiba performed this function well. I also expected to use this for watching YouTube, Hulu, CNN, etc... at the end of the each day and that's where I was somewhat disappointed.

This is my first netbook and I didn't expect it to be the equal of a desktop machine or even a laptop but I was pleasantly surprised at its functionality. The small screen is quite readable and the keyboard is very good. The biggest disappointment for me was the audio. I wasn't expecting theater-quality sound (really I wasn't) but the little monophonic speaker inside this netbook can't even compete with my Ipod touch. In my motel room, with the A/C running, it was impossible to hear even with the volume at maximum.

The solution is to plug in a pair of headphones but there's a problem with that too. When using the charger, the headphones have a slight 60 hertz background hum that's very annoying while listening to audio books or quiet music. The hum is only there if you're charging, so I did my book listening on battery power. My longest battery-powered session was 4 hours after which the charge indicator showed about 50% life remaining and I was happy with that performance.

It's a pretty nice machine but if I had it to do over again, I would sacrifice some portability for audio that would allow me to listen without headphones.
