Toshiba Mini NB305-N410BL 10.1-Inch Royal Blue Netbook - 11 Hours of Battery Life
Toshiba Mini NB305-N410BL 10.1-Inch Royal Blue Netbook - 11 Hours of Battery Life Review
I’m very happy with this notebook. Excellent screen, very comfortable to type. Battery life is excellent. Had to remove few trial programs and it took me 15 minutes to clean it up.
I also had download an updated driver for the speakers as under existing driver the sound is very very low. Surprisingly, Toshiba does not have an updated driver listed on their website, so I had to get it from Realtek website. Once I did that, the sound improved significantly and I keep it in 60-70% level now. There is a topic on Toshiba board that discusses about this issue and solution in details. Fix does work. (at least in my case).
In regards to vibration issue, I also did get the notification that my hard drive was moved to safe location, but other than that, it did not affect the performance of the netbook. I just checked off this notification to not to see in the future.
I bought this notebook mostly for internet, Skype and movies. And once i solved the sound issue, everything work really good. No problem with Skype and playing different format movies. (I did install VLC player that plays everything without any issues).
This notebook does get hot, but I think this is the issue with most of the notebooks.
I also ordered 2GB RAM, but not because it’s needed, just to have it 
So, the bottom line, I’m very happy with the purchase and I believe there is not better notebook on the market within this price range considering battery life, keyboard and just the way it looks.
