Hi im getting a new iphone contract soon and this is the free laptop i will get with it. i would like to download pinnacle studio on it and vidoe record t.v/gameplay do you think that this product will be able to handle this?

[Aqek2]

This netbooks is just to surf the web,chat,check your emails and use Office. All netbooks do that, is just to be online in everymoment. Buy a notebook.

[ibcnunabit]

I wouldn't count on it for any serious sort of live video work, but for webcam stuff and editing DV it should be fine.

[H3RR4]

can u play rs on this? plz answer

[german416]

I just got mine yesterday, with 2gb ram, IT ROCKS!, works like a charm, it´s fast, it´s so simple, but yet, so cool, it have what it needs, simplicity is the trend of the future, now i´m officialy a Netbook fan, i will never buy anymore another Notebook again.

By the way, HP SUCKS!, spread the word.

I have a question, can you run Vista or Windows 7 on this netbook?.

[munkeeblue]

@german416 thank god i finally hear someone who agrees that hp sucks ....its the worst !! :P

[Malithion2001]

[SARUJAN5]

i wish i had it but my sattelte is heavy and huge

[LordButtercracks]

Nonsense. Toshiba made the first Netbooks, except they were actually fully functional and quite fast notebooks (still are). Toshiba Libretto U105. Released April 05. And the first internet capable Librettos were released 10 years earlier. The U105 has magnesium, padding, crumple zones, and air pockets to ensure survivability. Toshiba are the best manufacturers out there for mini notebooks. U205 12 inch is awesome too.

First Netbooks in History here:

[dfoggin]

The man has a point! The Libretto was the first "netbook" but I use the term quite loosely. It was ugly, thick, heavy, crap battery, no real trackpad and horrifically slow. Nowadays, a netbook is defined by it's processor (usually an atom). As for your comparison to the MBA, it's prettier, more robust due to an SSD and blows your libretto out of the water with a Dual core from Intel.

..this was the best that shop had of the 3 available pff!. They had the AsusPC 701 for £154. They all felt ok 2use. The display of that Asus looked quite dull.

[hyperich11]

This is £260 @ the carphonewarehouse shop in the UK. Lets b honest compared to others this isnt vnice. If i cant find betr for 250-300, might get this vvsoon.

[live4justice]

can Skype run on this???

[putasensura]

yes

remember is ubuntu,

[GohanDBZ]

Nice review!

[jack2000214]

i should say that it might only be one bad netbook that i got, im probably gonna get a replacement so il see what that ones like.

[steve171274]

Could we have an update on the toshiba?

[jack2000214]

i hate this netbook! mine broke a day after i got it im taking it back to comet tomorrow!

[aidan129]

looks a bit toughbookish/industrial

[ugforthewin]

The Samsung kills this..

[asphixmx]

What about the ports? The memory expansion? Would be a better review showing at the camera all these.

[r4nd0mn4me]

Yay's, it's here! And by the looks of it only the lid changed *silver* and it's a nice nippy little laptop. The keyboard is a little small though, but I got it because of the touchpad and Toshiba did not let me down there :)

I would have enjoyed some kind of a case for it, even as an option, but I'll make do.

Oh and it doesn't have that bilingual crap like the Aspire One.

And at $536.48CAD delivered to my door, I am rather pleased.

I'll post my un-boxing soon.

[holyandannointed]

lawd have mercy that is way tooo much, I nearly fainted at the site of that price, wait is that CAD, what is CAD?

What is that translated into USD?

[r4nd0mn4me]

CAD is Canadian dollars, and that is about 436 USD at the moment, check Toshiba's website for up to date prices and availably in your aria.

I am a Toshiba fan and have always enjoyed their work.

Just a note, if you have fat fingers, don't bother, the keyboard is smaller than the folding keyboard for my Nokia N95-8GB and and the Acer One; on the bright side, it is fully functional and the touch pad rocks.

[PowerLinuxUser]

Size isn't an issue, it's the positioning of the keys that makes the Toshiba NB100 unusable... if they had the decency to just move the arrow keys down to fit in a full sized shift key they'd have got a winner, but there's no reason to kill touch typists just so your keys all fit evenly into 6 rows, so that's inexcusable and probably the largest turn off for me and everyone I know when in the market for a laptop. Cheers to HP, Samsung and Acer for keeping their shift/enter key area in order.

[r4nd0mn4me]

Oh thank you! A review in English and with a competent user at that. May I ask if it has scrolling abilities with the touch pad? I have a Toshiba laptop and I love the way you can just tap the pad to click on things. One of the main reasons I have waited to get a ULPC is the lack of a useable touchpad.

[hbpencil]

It would have been useful for you to go through the ports locations and whether there is an internal cooling fan.

[StefanH1234]

Looks very nice

[shaolindreams]

looks like a decent netbook, not bad not bad but im still looking at the new eeepcs
