Toshiba NB505 Netbook (ep.5)

Solid Netbook – Excellent second computer

I bought this computer a few weeks ago and so far my experience has been very positive. This netbook is solidly built and is ready to use out of the box. The keyboard is easy to use and the trackpad is OK – a little too sensitive for my taste. Unlike many other systems, it does not come with much bloatware – trial versions of programs you do not want anyway. There are some, but almost all programs may be useful. Software included Toshiba seems well designed, although personally I do not need it.
As for speed, the computer is powerful enough for a netbook, and run office applications and home net smoothly. Of course, it does not respond to more intensive use, such as video editing, image processing or games – but again, that’s not what this computer is for. However, the Atom processor of this unit is endangered, and about $100 more you can get a netbook that is significantly faster. Nevertheless, or a solid, cheap, ultraportable computer is a good choice.
Pros:
* Good keyboard
* Good battery life
* Nice, slim design
* No bloatware, useful software included
* Solid build quality, looks like it will last
Cons:
* Disappointing sound (one speaker on the bottom)
* Slow CPU
