Small, lightweight, flexible and cheap were the watchwords. After reading a bunch of reviews, I settled on this Toshiba (including a 2 GB chip upgrade).
You just can't beat this little machine...the small size takes some getting used to but the keyboard is full-sized and while the key arrangement may be different it's much easier than many of the keyboards I looked at. I had to buy it from Microcenter ($10 less than Amazon) because I was traveling and needed it right away. I did add another GB of memory, which was very simple to do. All in all good buy for the money and, as usual, Amazon provided excellent service.
Plus it has 3 USB ports. Most netbooks have two. Not only did I save some bucks, but Open Office has a much smaller footprint and a lot less memory leaks than OFC'07. It runs very smooth on the netbook and so far has been totally compatible with my OFC'07 Docs.
You need to install a later kernel and updated Realtek firmware from Backports. Some function keys work, particularly suspend, and screen brightness. The full sized laptop has gone into retirement. First, this is a great netbook in my opinion.
The speaker is small, but sounds great to me. The battery has been holding up superbly. I wanted to stay in touch with home base during a recent trip to Japan. I knew I would be moving from city to city, so my laptop seemed too much of a burden.
If you want to change your background, there is a program called Oceanis Change Background that allows you do just that. And if you really need all of the features, you can use Windows Anytime Upgrade to move up to Home Premium, But I'll just stick with Starter since I have my Lenovo with Windows 7 Ultimate for when I need any of these features. I've only had the little guy for 24 hours but everything is as advertised. All I wanted was something small and lightweight that I could type on to take notes at church. I also love the textured finish on the top. It has great features and I would recommend highly to anyone looking for a 10 inch netbook. The good news is that I can resell the DDR2 here on Amazon fairly easily. I have the machine up and running with straight Debian, because it tends to run with less memory and greater speeds that its derivatives (think Ubuntu and Mint).
That will always be a mystery to me. It seems to me as if Microsoft is always looking for a way to take as much of my money as possible--just the updates to a "regular" Microsoft OS will cost as much as the netbook itself.
This is a great little notebook. This is great for surfing the internet, shopping, and emailing.
