I looked at netbooks for about 1 month, comparing all of the various features. I ended up choosing the Toshiba NB205-N325 The chicklet keys are great and the sub-sized keyboard only slows me down a little from a full-sized version.

I’ve gotten lots of curious eyes at school since I started my netbook. A lot of people ask me about it and I always have the answers because I took a month to research netbooks. I mention the battery life which I usually get about 8 hours with full brightness, playing videos or music, and have multiple programs running simultaneously. It has the option to change the power settings straight from the taskbar as well. The netbook is light and sturdy, and it the screen looks great.
The only thing I could think of that I would change it the monitor being glossy. Being outdoors or in bright classrooms doesn’t really seem to look good as it should, but other than that I love my netbook. My girlfriend now wants one and two students at school asked me for the model number.

There is a small amount of flex, but I don’t see it as a hindrance at all. The keys are “island” style and unless I mash them down intentionally, I don’t notice any flex issue at all.

I wish that the computer section were so large at my
Bestbuy. :(

I liked the Toshiba, but the keyboard gave out after just over 30 days of light use. That’s when I discovered that Toshiba only offers a “limited” warranty on their netbooks that doesn’t even cover the cost of returning the device for repairs. If you have a problem you’ll also have the pleasure of wasting hours with their ill-informed support people. Shame on you Toshiba…

I checked it out at local Best Buy today, and I was not very impressed. Two things: the screen is a little dim and blur. It’s not bad, but clearly inferior to my current Asus 1000h. Bigger issue for me though was the keyboard layout. Toshiba has a tradition of creating some odd keyboard layouts (remember Windows key at the top?), and unfortunately this one was no exception. Why should they place “`” key next to the space bar? In my experience, “`” key is one of the least used keys in the keyboard and I cannot think of one good reason to have it next to the space bar.

OMG you posted a pic of your kid online, arent you worried about “internet pedophiles” seeing the pic, hopping on a plane, stalking you, & eventually kidnapping him?!?! i guess going to the local park in virtually EVERY neighborhood is to easy these days lol.

yeah, i had to say something. i just saw about the stupidest news story i have ever seen in my life last night on 1 of the 24hr channels. watching the media elite using ridiculous logic to manipulate internet-ignorant parents out there all for the sake of ratings is sickening.
