Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 (NB200 series) 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life Review

Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 (NB200 series) 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life
This is an awesome machine with lots of power and style. I can find no downside: even with only 1gb main memory (expandable to two) I can do anything I want with it. Yes, HD video can have playback issues (waiting for the large files to load) but most everything else is spot on.

The keboard is excellent even for larger laptops. If I were to look for caveat it would be the ability to view in indirect sunlight–you can’t do it well. But seeing I’m usually home or Starbucks, that has not been an issue for me. I am a web designer so at times I deal with large files, the netbook handles them well.

HP Mini 210-1180NR 10.1-Inch Netbook (Blue) Review

HP Mini 210-1180NR 10.1-Inch Netbook (Blue)
My granddaughter purchased this, although not from Amazon. This is her first computer. She made choices based on how she plans to use it (internet and light word processing, plus photo storage and viewing), and because even though she’s a child, she travels a lot.

I make my review to this model HP Mini-210 1190, although her model is the HP Mini-210 1199, which at the time of this review, Amazon doesn’t sell. Still, they have the same processor and hard drive, and the same Windows Starter operating system. The case on her model (and the tipping point when looking at netbooks in the store) is pink plaid, a stand out for most little girls.

Hercules eCafe EC-1000W 10.1-Inch Netbook - Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life Review

Hercules eCafe EC-1000W 10.1-Inch Netbook - Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life
what i do with my notebook or netbook is this.
Internet surfing, watching youtube/hulu/news clips, listen to pandora/internet radio, and word processing.

My experience of surfing the web with this was great. It was fast and sponteneous. There were no lagging or crashing for over a month of usage. Web sites I visited were major news site, video sites, and some flash heavy sites.

Samsung N150 10.1-Inch Black Matte Netbook - Up to 7 Hours of Battery Life Review

Samsung N150 10.1-Inch Black Matte Netbook - Up to 7 Hours of Battery Life
This is a great net-book for all your needs. Upgrade the RAM to 2GB, remove all the bloatware and Vola! You have a great machine on the go. I installed Microsoft essentials for security. Battery is pretty good (~4-5 hours). I got it for about 9, which is a great price for this netbook. I will recommend this one. One of the best netbooks out there in the market.

  • 1.66GHz Intel N450 Atom Processor

ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 10.5 Hour Battery Life Review

ASUS Eee PC 1005HA-PU1X-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 10.5 Hour Battery Life
I bought this EeePC for videoconferencing at work. My coworkers bring it to meetings on their end, and I call them using Skype. It’s cheaper than any dedicated videoconferencing device that I’ve seen, but the EeePC is a general-purpose computer. Sometimes my coworkers borrow it for presentations, since it’s so portable.

Watch out though! This netbook is so cute that it’s tempting for thieves and is easily hidden in a jacket or purse since it’s so small. My first one was stolen, so I bought another that I keep locked with a combo lock that only a few coworkers know the combo for.

Acer AO532h-2730 10.1-Inch Garnet Red Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life Review

Acer AO532h-2730 10.1-Inch Garnet Red Netbook - Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life
Love the computer, hate the OS. Windows 7 is OK in general, despite Microsoft’s senseless screwing around with the structure of “My Documents,” but the “Starter Edition” is an abomination. Seriously? An OS that prevents me from setting a desktop wallpaper? One that won’t let me connect an external monitor at the same time as the built-in screen? This OS is a *huge* step backwards from the Windows XP Home that came on my previous Acer netbook, and Microsoft wants to upgrade it to one without these atrocious and arbitary limitations.

Acer AOD250-1410/LU.S680D.206 10.1-Inch Atom N270 Netbook Computer (Sapphire Blue) Review

Acer AOD250-1410/LU.S680D.206 10.1-Inch Atom N270 Netbook Computer (Sapphire Blue)
My daughter needed a decent computer as my old one was not meeting her needs (never met my needs either). She only needs a computer for email, games and internet at this point, and this fits the bill for a good price. The lack of a CD drive is a minor annoyance, but for the weight and space savings I can transfer files to a thumb drive for her. The screen is small, but it doesn’t bother her.

Gateway LT2032u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Over 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Gateway LT2032u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Over 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
I searched for a netbook for about a week and found that I could get a Toshiba netbook at Best Buy for about the same price that had a slightly faster processor but a smaller hard drive. I decided to go with the Gateway because of the 250 GB hard drive instead of the 120 GB. The slight increase in processor speed on the Toshiba just could not offset the Gateways price of 0 out the door with the larger hard drive. I upgraded the memory to the 2 GB max( Crucial 2GB 256Mx64PC2-5300 CT25664AC667 DDR2 200-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory )which really makes a difference only for downloading files or watching video. The battery life seems to be about what is advertised, or maybe slightly better. I removed Norton’s and installed freeware for anti-virus and spyware and will probably remove the Microsoft Office suite because I don’t want to pay 0 for it. For as little as I expect to use it I don’t think that it is worth it on this netbook. I really only expect to use it for traveling which will consist of web use and email, and maybe video chat occasionally. It is built very solidly, and has great styling. As another reviewer stated, the battery does add about an inch to the depth over other netbooks, but this is only an issue for finding a sleeve to carry it in to protect it. I found a sleeve at Wal-Mart (also here at amazon.com) by Targus( Targus 10.2-Inch Slipskin-Peel Netbook Case )that looks great and fits perfectly. It comes in burgundy colored trim that matches exactly. It is slightly more here at amazon.com unless you get the blue trimmed one, which is about half the price as Wal-Mart. If you are looking for a full time computer, a netbook is not for you, but if you want mobility at a great price then I highly recommend this Gateway.
