This review is from: Toshiba NB305-N600 10.1-Inch Netbook (Blue) (Personal Computers) Dual core processor with hyper-threading. Much faster 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 everything I need it to, email, internet, itunes, pdf files, basic stuff. I installed 2GB Crucial stick and that helped quite a bit. Purchase the memory direct from Crucial... Amazon doesn't sell the right stick at this time. The wireless N is great. No problems with it connecting, it does so very quickly too! Raise the screen/lid from hibernate/suspend/whatever, enter password, within 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 plan 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. 90 of 92 people found the following review helpful  Machine is garbage; company does not stand behind faulty equipment, This review is from: Toshiba NB305-N600 10.1-Inch Netbook (Blue) (Personal Computers) I purchased the Toshiba NB305 mini- notebook a few months ago. After having only used it for roughly a week, the LCD behind the screen cracked rendering the screen unusable and therefore the notebook as well. The LCD cracked from simply closing the notebook. The notebook was fairly new and covered under a standard one year warranty, so we figured we would be able to contact Toshiba and have the issue remedied with no problem. Wrong. The first contact made to Toshiba was by my husband who was told that LCD damage is not covered under the warranty and repairing it would be more expensive than the product itself. He was quoted a repair cost of 0 dollars. The machine itself was a little under 0. I figured the representative he spoke to might have been misinformed and that they would be responsible for a product with an obvious manufacturing defect, so I contacted them myself and was told that Toshiba would pay to send the notebook to a repair depot and have it repaired free of charge under warranty. I was then instructed that they would be sending me an email with a form that I would need to complete to arrange for the shipping and repair of the notebook. I was dismayed to find the form required my payment information for the shipping and handling fees. I contacted Toshiba again and was told the previous representative had misinformed me and that I would be responsible for the .00 cost of sending the notebook to the repair facility. I was then told they would incur all other charges from that point, including repairs and its return shipping and handling. I paid the .00, figuring it was worth it to not lose out on the larger cost of the unusable notebook.When the notebook reached the repair depot, I received a letter by email stating that I would have to pay for parts and labor to repair the product, because Toshiba will not cover costs for a damaged LCD. Either I send more money, or they send the notebook back unrepaired. I began to look into this product and see if anyone else had run into a similar situation. I found countless others with the same issue, cracked LCDs on a new Toshiba notebook and Toshiba refusing to repair or replace their defective equipment. Most disturbing was how the damage was caused in the exact same way, from merely shutting the notebook! I called the repair depot with the information from the email they sent me. I found from the gentleman I spoke with that this was a common problem and that his hands were unfortunately tied with this reoccurring issue, because they are a company contracted by Toshiba and have no authority in decision making. Their options are to charge for damaged LCDs or return broken equipment. I explained that the warranty was supposed to cover manufacturing defects and that it was an obvious design flaw. The computer had never been dropped and was practically brand new with no signs of wear and tear. He told me Toshiba knows about the problem, but has not issued any recalls or given any engineering guidance regarding the known issue. I called Toshiba once again and explained my situation to a case manger. He as an employee of Toshiba was obviously not at liberty to discredit the company or their products, but hinted at it being a bad situation that needs someone to bring public awareness to it. He was unable to break company policy and repair or replace the equipment. I informed him that our conversation would be the last time I would try to resolve this issue with Toshiba directly and that I would inform the retail outlet I purchased this notebook from of this situation in hopes of removing this product from their stores. He sympathized and wished me luck...their employee, that says a lot. This laptop was a purchase for my son to be able to communicate with my husband during deployments by webcam and email. It was a lot of money for our family and ended in a huge disappointment for everyone involved. A notebook is a portable device made for mobility, and for this one to be so sensitive that merely closing the lid renders it useless is preposterous. This is defective equipment that the company is aware of and unwilling to accept responsibility for. They are in fact trying to make even more money off of their customers by charging them for the replacement equipment and labor. Worse, it is still available for unsuspecting consumers to purchase. This was actually one of the more expensive notebooks on display where we purchased it. We mistakenly believed this ensured we were buying a quality product. At this point, we have cut our losses with this particular item. It is unusable and on principle I refuse to dump any more money into a worthless product and a dishonest company. If I can prevent others from wasting their money on this substandard product or their energy in futile efforts trying to encourage Toshiba to respond in an ethical manner, at least something positive will come...

This review is from: Toshiba NB305-N600 10.1-Inch Netbook (Blue) (Personal Computers) I was a bit disappointed at first, the review I read had praised how much faster and better this version of the Atom processor was. The machine 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. After 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 faster 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 speed for what I want to do; Hulu and Netflix runs great, the WIFI is much better than the one in the NB205 I had been using. It's even a great conversation starter, it looks good.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 good machine; a little too slow to run Hulu or even Netflix, but everything 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 great. 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 old) 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 great customer service, yeah, not so much. So now here I am wondering when my cute new computer, that while it is running great and I am in love with it, is going to turn into a 0 paperweight. It IS running great NOW, but I didn't get the 3 year protection when I bought it, bad move on my part. With the new problem in my Girlfriends NB205 I would highly recommend that anyone who does decide to get this machine GET THE PROTECTION, and back up your hard drive often. At least that way you can get it fixed or replaced after the factory warranty rolls over, and you still have access to your data. So back to the basics; this computer 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 old NB200 series. Toshiba changed the shape of the battery from the NB200s making it sit up a little 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 love the look and feel of the new anodized aluminum case over the old (baby pink) plastic on my Girlfriends NB205. I really am in love with this little computer. I just wish that I was still blind to the potential for it to just quit wanting to fire up someday however far down the road, so that I could enjoy it more. I would still recommend this computer 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. |
