Toshiba NB505-N508BL Netbook With Intel 1.66 GHz Atom N455 Processor

April 6th, 2011

The Toshiba NB505-N508BL 10.1 inch netbook is just 1.4 inches thin

Netbooks have always been the preferred "laptop" for mobile computing and the Toshiba NB505-N508BL is making it easier for you to use your netbook just as you would your laptop.

In the past although netbboks were a great option when you needed to tote around a laptop but didn't want the weight, the size or the short battery life of a standard laptop.  However, many netbooks lacked many of the features that you wanted and therefore had to put up with slow uploads and downloads in addition to slower processing speeds.

This Toshiba NB505-N508BL is changing the way we look at netbooks and you will find that many of the shortcomings of netbooks of past years and objections that you may have had before have been eliminated.

Starting with the faster 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N455 processor which can give you the response that you want and need. Unlike previous processors, the N455 can handle more tasks without getting bogged down.

Although the hard drive is not huge at 250GB it is protected with a 3D impact sensor so it will be less impacted with vibrations or by receiving knocks.

A nice features is the wireless N wi-fi which you will find much faster than previous versions. And yes, it is backward compatible with the 802.11 g networks, so if your home has an older router it will be compatible. You must remember however, that if you are using an older router at home or at an internet cafe you will be limited by the router speed and will not be able to take advantage of the N speed.  If you will be using your netbook at home much of the time, it might be worth it to upgrade your older router.

When looking into this netbook I did notice that it comes with the Windows 7 Starter version which may not have all the components that you are use to ( you can upgrade ).  You may also want to spring for additional memory as this netbook comes with 1 GB and is upgradable to 2GB DDR2 Ram.
This particular model is in the blue color but there are several color options available.

Powered by the 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455 processor and 1GB DDR2 RAM, the Toshiba netbook can run up to 8 hours before recharging.  It is equipped with a 160GB SATA hard drive and Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking capabilities.  The netbook comes with Microsoft Windows 7 Starter operating system installed.

The computer also comes with 3 USB ports and a VGA video output.  Microphone and headphone jacks are also provided, as well as a Secure Digital (SD) memory card reader.

Why You’ll Like the Toshiba Mini NB255-N245

The Toshiba netbook is sleek, durable, and has one of the best keyboards on a netbook.  The keys are as big as laptop keys and you can type fast and comfortably.  The bright 10.1-inch screen is LED-backlit, making the computer more energy-efficient.  Windows 7 Starter boots up and runs faster on the netbook compared to Windows XP.  Upgrading the memory to 2GB will make your programs run even faster.

This computer is very lightweight and will easily fit in a bag.  You can carry it around in school and not have to worry that your battery will run down.  It’s also the right size for when you travel or go on vacation.  The netbook provides fast access to the internet via WiFi.  If you are on a tight budget and can’t afford a Mac, the Toshiba Mini NB255 can give you exactly what you need without breaking the bank.

Unless you need a computer for heavy graphics work, this netbook should be just fine for you.  It’s a quality product with a good keyboard, bright and crisp monitor, and great battery life.

The Downside

The Toshiba NB255 netbook doesn't have the greatest audio when compared to a standard laptop.  You may find that the built-in monophonic speaker is hard to hear even at maximum volume.  If you are running an application where audio is important, you may have to install external speakers.  The Logitech Laptop Speakers Z205 are a nice option to add as external speakers. You basically just plug them in to your USB port put it on your desk or clip it on to your netbook and you'll have powerful stereo sound at a very affordable price.

To wrap it up

If you need a no-fuss computer to bring to school or work, the Toshiba NB255 netbook may be your best option.  You can also take it along on your travel or vacation.  It’s affordable, durable, lightweight and compact but provides all the functionality that you need.  Order it now at Amazon.com and you won’t be disappointed.

Toshiba Mini 300 Series NB305-N310 10.1-Inch Netbook In Black Onyx

June 12th, 2010

Although the Toshiba NB305 series is available in a few different colors, you can save about $40 - $50  by staying with the black one.
I prefer the white color since it sort of hides fingerprints but my husband usually puts a gel skin on his so fingerprints are not an issue.Toshiba Mini NB305 Editors Choice Award

I'm not sure if the price will be the same when you read this, but as of the posting of this review the NB3055-N310 is around $320 at Amazon which  is a very good deal, especially considering that this model has received so many positive customer reviews (which you can read Here ) and also positive reviews from professionals.

Like with most netbooks it is suggested that you add 1 more GIG of Ram.
Currently this netbook has 1 GB of DDR2 RAM (800 MHz; 1 memory slot; upgradeable to 2 GB) and most will find that the additional 1GB will make a big difference when watching videos and multi-tasking.

Since most netbooks,(this one included) has just 1 memory slot in order to upgrade you will have to purchase a 2GB and before you checkout with your purchase you will see the option for picking up the 2 GIG of memory which is very reasonably priced.
