I am glad that I got it. As long as you don't ask it to do what it wasn't designed to do, it works very well.
This is just what I was looking for: a compact portable netbook that performs in most respects like a larger, more expensive laptop. My only complaint thus far is the highly reflective screen which makes it difficult to use under some bright light conditions; perhaps I can find some sort of film that will alleviate this problem.
Sometimes my internet can be buggy (AT&T of course), so I have to take my little netbook out on occasion to finish online quizzes without getting knocked offline. The Wi-Fi is great and works like a charm. The only complaint I have is it only comes with Windows 7 starter, which I think is asinine. So far no problems, the color is cute and it runs good. I had a little trouble getting this netbook to see the external USB hard drive, and then realized after a lot of poking around, if you have the quick boot option in the bios settings turned on, the netbook will only look to boot from the hard drive or SSD (or LAN I think). In order to boot from an external (USB) device, like for installing another OS, you must have quick boot off.
I've only had this computer a few weeks, but it seems dependable, and with the 2 GB chip is plenty quick for office type tasks. I've had my Toshiba netbook for a few days now and I've really been enjoying it. A little slow but that's what I expected. There is nothing that impedes my usage.
The packaging is easy to wipe clean and keep looking new. The cord is super long so it's easy to keep it plugged in and watch movies in bed or use it a long distance from the plug. I was able to install Windows 7 Professional and 2GB of memory without too much problem. All the required drivers and software are on the Toshiba website. I did a lot of home work on a lot of Netbooks and this Toshiba came out on top. So when it came time to purchase this netbook I found and received the lowest price through Amazon.
Not enough to become unproductive but impatient people like me need to upgrade the memory. I also wish that Windows 7 Starter isn't installed on most netbooks.
Got this mini-notebook just before going on a trip to Alaska and upgraded the RAM to 2GB right away. It is small, lightweight and I have yet to re-charge it in the last 2 days of using it (it runs on "balanced" mode so far and goes to sleep on its own but can be set to an "eco mode" which will make it last even longer on a charge). It runs windows 7 starter 32 bit OS and loads up fast. My husband and I travel a lot out of the country and purchased this Netbook mostly for this reason, I feel like the Netbook will fit perfectly with our travels. I haven't had much of a chance to use this yet because I bought the wrong memory upgrade based on "best if bought together" recommendation on Amazon. This is where the energy saving Atom processor shows how energy saving it really is! The laptop's keyboard is full size and the rear "rubber feet" are raised, which makes typing very comfortable.
