I've had a Toshiba NB205 for 6 months now and love. The best is the 8 hr battery DOES last 8 hours of continious use. So my better then my big HP laptop.

I have a Acer Aspire One ZG6,running Windows 7 RC, and it gets 5hrs+ even when wireless is on and the screen is full brightness! It’s not 8hrs, but 5 is quite good.

i agree with mitchell, Toshiba’s first netbook is a disappointment. the NB205 looks better than the HP Minis. i’ve tried typing on the NB205 and i really loved its keyboard. they’re not as big as HP’s, but they’re definitely bigger than the MSIs and Acers. pricing here in the philippines is a bit on the expensive side though as they’ve included 0% for 12 months credit card subsidy.

I liked the looks of their first one better looked a little retro, guess it’s performance sucked a bit though. The new one looks like just another Clevo machine.

I’m glad battery life is becoming so important to the netbook makers. Raw processesing power is nice, but I need all day battery power.

This isn’t their first netbook, their first one was an ugly and overpriced box.

Certainly looks like a much better attempt this time around though.

Hi think that Toshiba have hit on a winner here with the Nb205. It looks great, especially the chiclet keyboard and that 8+ hr battery will appeal to just about anyone.

well done Toshiba
