Pros: This is my very first Netbook, I have never sen one other than pictures or videos.
I read alot of reviews here on newegg, ama zon and the net and looked at as many close up pics as I could find on every Netbook in the $300 to $450 price range and finelly deside on the This "Toshiba Mini NB205-N310/BN 10.1-Inch Sable Brown" because of the 280 Atom and the super nice keyboard with the NumPad by using the FN+F11 key to turn on the NumPad for symble characters.
The Atheros AR9285 Wireless picks up the WiFi router at the cornner convenient store a block away @ 54.0 mbps.
The Screen is viewable at right and left angles really good so 3 people can watch videos without any headaches from eye strain.
Only had to remove the Nor ton Security suite trial sofware "Junk" and installed AVG 8.0 and an old copy of Zone Alarm Pro that doesn't nag about expiring.
Cons: No User manual to worth a dang to explain all the key funtions or the type of RAM Upgrade and It doesn't do laundry or clean my Apt..? One revierer said they gwent to Tashiba's web site to get the right memory type.
Other Thoughts: Don't forget to get a good sleve or bag for it, You will need one no less than 11L X 10W X 1.5D.
I hope the video will help some because I cant spell to good or know just what all I should say.?
You do realize that good product reviews to help others to make a good choice will also helps the sellers too and couse them to up the price right.?
This Netbook is really solid as a rock, built really well and nothing cheap or cheesy about it.

Pros: The build quality is immediately apparent and is easily higher than most. The touch pad is larger than even some full size laptops making it a breeze to use on the go. The island style (Mac like) keys make the compact form factor unnoticeable when touch typing (yes you can touch type with ease on this) It has full *Bluetooth* with *Wireless N* that's right... I ordered this exact model and I have bluetooth and wireless N at no extra charge, I guess this is a typo on Newegg's site... WOW. 1GB of ram that is expandable to 2GB. Plays World of Warcraft (3.2.2 as of this writing) at an average of 10 fps out of town (pretty good for a lowly netbook!) and does ALL this with a 9 hours battery. And yes, I can attest, it does last 9 hours. No joke. I charge once a day and leave the charger at home.
Cons: Battery does protrude modestly, but really that's just prying for something. The unit is thinner width wise than a few other netbooks so it doesn't impact it's footprint. really it just makes it easier to handle when in a neoprene sleeve. (IMO)
Other Thoughts: Currently running it with Windows 7 with full Aero effects and the stock 1GB of ram. World of Warcraft runs a tolerable 7-15 FPS out of town. I would recomend getting a 10.2 inch neoprene sleve like the ones Targus makes. This is merly to maintain the devices mobility and prevent dust and scratches from daily toting around. The device is as heavy as a large book and looks like that with a sleve on it. You can easily charge the device liek a cell phone. Leaving the charger at home only charging it when your at home. The charger I might also mention is a 50% smaller than average size power brick with a slightly larger cord. Making it easy to stick in a large jacket pocket or a cargo pant pocket. This device is easily the best netbook in every category when it comes to netbooks.

Some clarifications

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Still testing...
Cons: First, neweggs specifications are incorrect as far as memory speed (kind of)... While the unit does come with 1 stick of PC2-6400 (800) the chipset only supports either PC2-3200 (400) or PC2-4200 (533). It works by down clocking but this is something I would have liked to know before buying.
Second the internal sata is only Gen 1 (i.e. SATA 150). That means if you’re like me who bought a good SSD (rated at 175MB/s read) you'll only get 101MB/s actual.
Other Thoughts: Windows 7 RTM installed just fine on the laptop. At one point the mouse was invisible but either a windows update or Toshiba’s driver seemed to fix the issue for now.
The problems I mentioned above have to do with its Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset (check Intel’s website for specs). While the unit is supposed to have great battery life (what I mainly bought it for), if you plan on putting a performance SSD in it... Don't! You won't get the speed out of it.
