Pros: Excellent battery life; good looks; good performance; competitive price; Sleep-and-Charge USB

Cons: Totally unnecessary use of TORX screws; slightly odd keyboard

Verdict: As we discovered in our netbook upgrading feature, both RAM and hard drive are easily accessible, although the hard drive panel uses TORX-6 fasteners rather than the more common Phillips head screws found on the RAM compartment. Still, if you're ...

Toshiba waited a long time to enter the netbook market, but as the NB205 proves, taking some time to learn from your competitors can be a good thing. The NB205 offers everything we expect from a netbook, as well as some unexpected bonus features, and ...

Pros: 9.5 hours of battery life, Comfortable keyboard and large touchpad, Hard drive protection, USB port charges device when system is off

Cons: Lid attracts fingerprints, Large display bezel

Verdict: The Toshiba mini NB205 has the standard set of ports we've come to expect from netbooks: two USB ports and a Kensington lock slot adorn the right side; a VGA-out, audio in/out, Ethernet, and third USB port are mounted on the left. That third USB port ...

Toshiba Mini NB205 Netbook

Pros: Epically long battery provides hours of entertainment. Surprisingly lightweight (2.9 pounds) despite bodacious battery. Roomy trackpad accommodates normal hands. Hard-drive impact sensor safeguards data from everyday bump and grind

Cons: 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

Toshiba is late to the netbook game, and with its 10.1-inch Mini NB205, the company overcompensates and complicates things a bit too much. But it still delivers a capable, quality machine.

Pros: Full-size keyboard. Outstanding touchpad and mouse buttons. Well designed. Big battery with impressively long life. Sleep-and-Charge USB ports. Reasonably priced. Earned our GreenTech Approved award

Cons: Battery sticks out a bit ; Watch our Toshiba mini NB205 video review

Verdict: Despite all the lookalikes, Toshiba found a way to outdo its rivals in the netbook category with the fantastic and environmentally friendly NB205.

For a company like Toshiba, the benefit of waiting and watching as it takes in all the buzz being generated in a market like netbooks is that it gets to glean from all the rants about these devices ways to improve upon its own product. Toshiba figured ...
