review by Joe Topp for Toshiba NB305-N600 10.1-Inch Netbook (Blue)
Quick for a netbook!,
Dual core processor with hyper-threading. Much quicker than the single core atom netbooks. I own a N255 as well as this one, and the NB305-N600 blows the N255 away. I have a 2GB Crucial memory stick coming this week, would have been nicer if Toshiba would have just had 2GB installed from the factory.
It’s been a month since I have owned this netbook. I LOVE it, I use it daily now and don’t even bother with my desktop anymore. It does all I need it to, email, internet, itunes, pdf files, basic stuff. I installed 2GB Crucial stick and that helped quite a bit. Buy the memory direct from Crucial… Amazon doesn’t sell the right stick at this time.
The wireless N is fantastic. No problems with it connecting, it does so very promptly too! Raise the screen/lid from hibernate/suspend/whatever, enter password, surrounded by 5-6 seconds I am online.
Be forewarned that Toshiba has a LOT of pre-installed software that is pretty much useless to most users. I plot to install a Intel SSD drive and full copy of Windows 7 in the next few weeks.
I am getting about 6-7 hours battery life, but I did increase the screen brightness to a realistic level.

So far, this has been a fantastic investment and I like it, so far…,
I was a bit disappointed at first, the review I read had praised how much quicker and better this version of the Atom processor was. The apparatus I got seemed to freeze up if I tried to run more than 3 things at a time, so I maxed out the RAM to 2gigs. With that still didn’t seem to fix things I did some investigating online about the Windows 7 Starter that it came installed with, it is designed to make netbooks look less attractive, you can only have 3 things on your desktop at a time. I upgraded to Professional and it was like night and day. With the upgrades this netbook is very capable, much quicker than the NB205s. The battery lasts forever, so far not less than 7 hours no matter what I do with it. It has plenty of alacrity for what I want to do; Hulu and Netflix runs fantastic, the WIFI is much better than the one in the NB205 I had been using. It’s even a fantastic conversation starter, it looks excellent.
One of the main reasons I picked the Toshiba was that my girlfriend bought a NB205 with XP on it in February of last year. A pretty excellent apparatus; a small too slow to run Hulu or even Netflix, but all else that we ran on it seemed to do OK. I really loved the portability, the long battery life, the ability to pull pictures off our camera anywhere, edit them, and send them out to friends as soon as we took them, it went with us everywhere, it WAS fantastic. So we got to depend on having it around. But recently (the last week or so) there have been some major issues cropping up with her NB205 that are making me very nervous about my new (now 3 week ancient) NB305.
The NB205 has become very hesitant to turn on, and this is apparently a pretty common problem with the NB200 series; [Toshiba Forums]([...]) , and in looking at the discussions on its own web forum, it is an issue that Toshiba has no interest at all in addressing. Let’s hear it for standing behind your product and fantastic customer service, yeah, not so much.
So now here I am wondering when my cute new notebook, that while it is running fantastic and I am in like with it, is going to turn into a $350 paperweight. It IS running fantastic NOW, but I didn’t get the 3 year protection when I bought it, terrible go on my part. With the new problem in my Girlfriends NB205 I would highly recommend that anyone who does choose to get this apparatus GET THE PROTECTION, and back up your hard drive regularly. At least that way you can get it fixed or replaced with the factory warranty rolls over, and you still have access to your data.
So back to the basics; this notebook is very quick for a netbook, it has a pretty respectable hard drive size, the WIFI has killer reception, and this model has 2 OK-ish speakers instead of the single crappy speaker in the ancient NB200 series. Toshiba changed the shape of the battery from the NB200s making it sit up a small higher. It gets more air through the fan than before, but I still got a netbook size Chillmat for it and it stays very cool. I like the look and feel of the new anodized aluminum case over the ancient (baby pink) plastic on my Girlfriends NB205.
I really am in like with this small notebook. I just wish that I was still blind to the potential for it to just quit wanting to fire up someday but far down the road, so that I could delight in it more.
I would still recommend this notebook with the caveat that you need to cover yourself with the extended protection from Amazon. Because from the looks of things Toshiba is going to leave you hanging if there is a problem.

Don’t Need My Laptop Anymore!,
With two weeks of testing this apparatus I am ready to walk-away from laptops.
This is our second NB305. We have the NB305-N442. The N600 is a dual-core atom processor while the N442 is single core. The top of its case is brushed aluminum, compared to the N442′s plastic. These are the only two physical differences I see.
We swapped out the standard drive for a Zalman N128 solid state drive (“SSD”). Installed Windows 7 Professional (you only need the 32-bit version since this apparatus only supports 2GB of memory). Most drivers load with the Win 7 install, but you will need a few which you can download from the Tosh help website. While this route is extra work, you get rid of the bloat-ware that comes preinstalled on the disk drive it ships with. We have had many Tosh laptops since 1995 and the bloatware just keeps getting worse. In our experience, it slows the apparatus down. Swapping out the shipped drive and doing a clean install on an SSD gives you fantastic alacrity gains in loading the OS and the programs you install.
In this configuration, the OS load time is FAST, especially out of hibernation. If you are using your laptop for word-processing, VPN, remote desktop or email, you are going to like this apparatus. Using the configuration above with Office 2010, will get Word or Outlook loaded in about 5 seconds! I’ve used my PowerPoint off of it to give presentations without a hitch.
I travel alot and this is where the apparatus shines. At airport security it is simple to pull out of a bag, it weighs less than three pounds. On the plane, I do not have to worry about my screen getting jammed up when the seat in front of me reclines. It is light and powerful, but battery life is outstanding. Based on your power settings, you can stretch this to over 8 hours (make sure you shut off the WiFi!). So a coast-to-coast flight is no problem. I have not run out of power on a flight with either the N442 or this model.
I also carry an extra battery, just in case. The apparatus will charge your mobile phone through one of its USB ports and having the extra battery can be a life saver when your flight is delayed and power outlets are scarce.
Some have commented that the SSD prolongs battery life. I can’t say since I have not run it without an SSD.
The performance of this apparatus, coupled with its light-consequence and battery power really make it a laptop replacement for me.
Drawbacks? Netbooks are not about video playback, and while this apparatus is much better than the N442, it’s video is not as robust as a multimedia laptop. That goes for sound too. Speakers are very low. You can get around this by using an external USB speaker like the Altec Orbit iML227. But, if you are using the apparatus like I am, video playback and sound fidelity are of no concern.
