This version of latest Toshiba laptop were produced after first Toshiba's netbook laptop, the Toshiba Mini NB200 that i've reviewed before. Toshiba Mini NB205 comes with Windows 7 and its battery life can last for 9 hours long using light 6-cells battery. This is the first netbook laptop i've found installed with Windows 7, a starter edition of Windows 7 to be exact.
Toshiba Mini NB205 uses Intel Atom processor chip with 1.66Ghz processor speed, 1 GB of DDR2 RAM, 250GB solid state drive hard disc with anti-shock technology. Most of its other hardware specification matches exactly with its older brother, the Toshiba Mini NB200.
Toshiba Mini NB205 has full QWERTY keyboard and 3 inch touchpad. Its touchpad button sits still at the bottom, not on the left and the right like certain model of netbook laptops that i've found such as Gigabyte Booktop.
There's only one digital speaker on this laptop, located at the front side whhile many other netbook laptop puts their speaker on the upper side of the keyboard, Toshiba Mini NB205 do otherwise. The sound effect may not be satisfactory for its user.
If you want to feel Windows 7 on a netbook, i suggest you to try out Toshiba Mini NB205. It has minimal OS feature compared to paid version of Windows 7 but it worth a try. You cant change wallpaper's image either unless you install full version of Windows 7 operating system.
I suggest you to use open source software in Toshiba Mini NB205 to make it runs faster, instead of Microsoft Live application software. Installing Windows 7 into any netbook laptops will make its overall performance go down.
Toshiba Mini NB205 takes more than 1 minute to load, while Toshiba Mini NB200 laptop takes less than 15 seconds to load. Looks like the big and new Windows 7 is a heavy burden for small netbook laptops.
If you own a netbook laptop, i dont suggest you to install Windows 7 into your netbook, just use the good old Windows Xp. Update its to service pack 3, you can change the Windows Xp theme into Windows Vista theme and vice-versa.
You can download third party software that installs Windows 7 theme in your laptop. Warning - the software will reduce laptop speed during startup unless you upgrade RAM amount.
