Toshiba NB205

[SystemJinx]

I'm really digging this new Toshiba netbook. It is called the NB205. Has the new N280 processor, full size keyboard, more shared video memory and check out the battery life! It gets over 8 hours of battery life during testing and I've heard this on several news sites. Not too shabby given it's a 6 cell battery and not a 9 cell.

I really like the way it looks.

i had this laptop for 2 days, and returned it due to excessive heat and fan noise.
it *does* look very nice in person ^^ but build quality is not that great, there was a gap between keyboard and body, also battery was wiggling lol. battery life was around 6-7 hours at most...

Interesting. Thanks for the first hand report lilydreamy. I'm surprised Toshiba's quality was so poor. I had a notebook computer from 2001 that I sold to a friend and it is still being used for work every day.

i had a great expectation about this netbook.. but it was a big disappointment
