Toshiba NB100 first Impressions

[PCMacForever24]

10'' sounds better

[smallgohan]

I got this and trust me it is a big pile of donkey with fucked up aids and rabies shit

[KazNanaLFC]

Dreadful netbook. Don't buy!

[Knaeckebrotsaege]

my brother has this one.. top looks like sandpaper by now, glossy display is horrible, the keyboard is sooo small that you constantly have to correct stuff cause you hit multiple keys at once, the touchpad is tiny and unresponsive (and your fingertips stick to it once it wore down a bit (texture gone)), and of course, the webcam is the first thing that breaks (VERY common problem, it just disappears as if it's unplugged. not in the device manager.. just gone..).

[bronsdog]

DONT BUY THIS HUNK OF GARBAGE, i have it for school and my god is it horrible.

[MotweraCity]

@Tomi8886 yep but some times lags

[TheMovReviews]

Arnold Swartznigger started selling computers?

[XmodGT1]

I have one, but it give me a problems,

First the memory fails (Blue screen) in 2 months

Second the hard disk fail too. other 2 months

Anyone have the same problem, and i don't trop the pc.

[kevincrutchley]

Its good to have a desktop too i have a high end one play gta iv on max graphis

[tescoed]

@kevincrutchley i usually find that people who have a KICK ASS pc at home have a NETBOOK also as a back up like me :)

[armandofarras]

so funny, i thought that with ubuntu it would boot faster, but a acer one with win 7 is faster

[minipcpro]

yes, i have to agree!

[lm3233]

pleas note: don't blame the hardware for the software...or even vice versa

plus this way before win7 came out

2nd all win7 netbooks have 1gb ram

[lm3233]

win7 is much newer than this hardware or version of ubuntu

ubuntu 9.10 or even 10.04 are much faster

win7 is great and all.....but, contrary to propaganda, its still slower than ubuntu

btw...we are talking about the same brand...right?

[lm3233]

sorry .... double posted ....now i just seem crazy

[lottosaimo]

have this netbook for about 3 months now.

windows 7, prety fast, and my batery last 4.15 hours with wifi

[filter1996]

can you play halo pc on this?

[SpokeRock]

I'll buy it, I dunno when but I love it.

BTW, you can do the same as a pc, right?

[minipcpro]

oh of course. But you might wanna take a look at the NB200 series from Toshiba

[Ankon555]

I bought it from japan and everything is in Chinese, I cant read chinese how can I actually change the language totally when every option is in chinese? can u help me? PLZ ... and reinstally windows XP didnt work :(  PLZ give me the solution...PLZZZzzz

[minipcpro]

i guess you need to ask someone who can read chinese but check the tastbar, there should be a language change menu on the bottom right. Well, at least when you got it with Windows XP.

[H3RR4]

can u play rs on this?

[cchac]

Hi friend. Do you think that I can use this notebook in my office, under a hard work at long time on day?? I'm going to connect a 15" lcd screen and USB keyboard. Thanks for your comments.

[minipcpro]

with the setup you mentioned.. YES! The default keyboard is even too small for me but for everything office related and websurfing this system is just fine

[german416]

Another question, can you use an external 250 Gb HDD with this Netbook?

[minipcpro]

of course

[mukatuna]

It's good to see a netbook coming with a decent Linux distro for a change, instead of the usual POS Linpus.Lite.

[mukatuna]

I've run Windows 7 RC on a similar specced netbook, and its just fine.

Vista is too much of a resource hog to run effectively on a 1GB Atom netbook IMO. Its bad enough when run on low RAM Celeron machines.

[german416]

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

[mukatuna]

See my reply to toml8886 about Windows Vista and 7 on netbooks.

[german416]

I just got mine yesterday, with 2gb ram, IT ROCKS!, now i´m officialy a Netbook fan, i will never buy anymore another Notebook again.

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

[huaweisony]

what is the dell netbook called?

[Hvygear]

Mini10 and 10v

[rahmannoor]

There's also a 12" version I guess?

[pumpim330]

i have one two is awesome

[MrTang9]

considering that the toshiba was one of the first laptops i would say the nb100

[JenniAnime]

We're getting this for free each in our school! can't wait!

[MrTang9]

get to keep it?

[JenniAnime]

yep

[MrTang9]

wow what school?

[JenniAnime]

Folkestone School For Girls(UK)

[MrTang9]

i'll buy it off you 50 pounds :D

[wolfxlord93]

yeah we're gettin them in my school too!

pretty cool

[JenniAnime]

cool! which one? we're getting them tommorow,can't wait!

[R3dM1x]

toshiba NB100

[azulmarino3]

Thanks for your review. I think Toshiba's NB100 is a hooker, you like it as long as you don't know nothing about it ;-)

[stickman355]

it's a notebook not a mac book

[minipcpro]

i guess you should check your ears. I am saying Netbook! and no, it's not a notebook! ;)

[MrTang9]

it's a netbook

[obbytoo]

I'm considering exchanging my Eee 901 for this! Any comments?

[minipcpro]

stay with the 901!

[obbytoo]

That's my plan, since overall functionality, speed (ssd) and battery life is >> nb100 :)

But I'm a bit annoyed with the 901's greasy surface and non-wsvga screen.

[minipcpro]

i mean there is newness to come. If you wanna stay with 8.9inch you might even wanna take a look at the Eee PC T91 Netvertible

[mojakupa]

thanks !

[wizzy9906]

im on this now and its really good

[yomamaspetbeaver]

You should try to use the IBM X60

[OmarJOA]

[FUTURESINFO]

GANZ GUTER ÜBERBLICK, DANKE

[mipmipmipmipmip]

This review convinced me to get the dell inspiron mini 9. It has a much nicer ubuntu interface than the Toshiba. It seems faster on boot than the toshiba, but slower than the default Xandros on my eee 701. The eyecandy is worth it, though

The Dell keyboard concept is smart, except that the F11 and F12 do not exist (F11 is needed: fullscreen firefox), the right shift key is awkwardly placed, and the keyboards are known to have hardware issues (including mine, replacement keyboard is on its way).

[mipmipmipmipmip]

I like the Ubuntu sticker! :)

[shillyshallyz]

I already have many Toshiba, and recently I failed to buy that Samsung NC10 10" netbook, but I reckon I'd prefer the way Toshiba reuse the arrow keys on its netbooks for PgUp, PgDn, Home and End. So I'll wait for next year's Toshiba 10" or 11" netbook with a 6-cell battery.

LOL

[LuckyNibb]

That was a pretty long start-up time... Also hate the shrunken right shift key, I guess you're alright if you use the left shift key instead. But like most Toshiba computers, it's far too glossy then it needs to be...

[kuervitos]

Amazing Review! Every detail i was looking for is showed here. From external specs To real usage test (opening, typing, holding on). Congratulations! I would like to see your review of HP Mini Note 2133 and compare with this Toshiba, just like you do it here with Dell and Asus

[nemogocedaje]

How about the keyboard size? I saw Toshiba NB100 in person, and it really has too small keyboard for me ...

... did anyone try Lenovo S10? Because I'm thinking of buying it, but I saw that some people are also saying that the keyboard is (too)small.

But OK, it's 85 % of full one, so I guess it's not that bad as this Toshiba :S

[opashbg]

thanks for the review, pretty useful one :)

[a1mint]

test

[a1mint]

Here's a first impression: the right shift key is sitting in the wrong spot. When people that can type (unlike the hunt-and-peggers), you expect the right shift key within immediate reach of your right pinky finger. But it's too far to the right. Why on why did they fuck up on this? Just like the Asus 1000.

Believe it or not, I can touch type on the Asus 701.

Unfortunately the netbooks with a fucked up keyboard I can't use.

"F" for Fail !

[minipcpro]

to be honest, i am a "left shift key" user on netbooks, so this is fine with me but i definately know what you wanna say.

i think it's just a matter of some 2 days to get used to this layout.

[shutit94]

How would you put microsoft word on this ?

[MREURONCAP]

It isnt MS Word, It was OpenOffice, Its like Word 2003 and free, like Ubuntu. You dont pay for use it, like in Windows or MS Office.

[Amebixfan]

Ubuntu netbook remix? Good job Toshiba!

[Ashbob96]

i think u didnt just focus on the NB100 you showed us other netbooks in my oppinion in think the toshiba NB100 beats the samaung that the other laptop the keyboard is really small but that is a good thing because its easier and compact.

[esspro]

The NC10 whoops this thing! Good job on the vid Sascha - Spencer, EV.

[gunthermeyer]

The video of the product was done first rate and very professional compared to the others that I have seen and there are only three other videos reviews that I find professional quality. Your the third one that I found from Europe is your is one of them. The other I believe is done by some person done in Russia which you might know is work. jkkmobile and the other is some person that lives in England. Keep up the good work and am looking for to seeing more reviews from you.

[minipcpro]

thanks a lot for your feedback Gunther.

I am in contact with jkk (he is from finnland) and Steve from UMPCportal for quite a while and i think you wanna check out their reviews, too.

cheers from rainy Germany
