Toshiba NB305-106 - 10.1in Netbook

 

Toshiba gives the popular NB200 a Pine Trail refresh and calls it the NB305.

Toshiba NB305-105 review

 

This netbook updates Toshiba's lineup and offers impressive portability

Good screen ; Battery life

Some flex on lid ; Standard netbook performance

Although it has some nice features, it doesn't lift its head high enough from the burgeoning netbook market for us to recommend whole-heartedly. However, if you're looking for something cheap and cheerful then this will suit you fine

Great design and build quality, but this refreshed model offers no real benefit over the original.

Toshiba NB305 review

 

‘Leading innovation' is Toshiba's marketing warcry for its new Toshiba NB300 and Toshiba NB305 netbooks. Unfortunately, as with every other netbook on the market, innovation is now becoming more conspicuous by its absence.

The Toshiba NB305 is an NB200 with further improved battery life and unexceptionally slow netbook-level performance. Aside from slipping in a new Atom chip and offering coloured textured finishes, Toshiba’s designers have only succeeded in making a...

Toshiba NB305 review

 

It may be hard to get excited by yet another 10.1in netbook, particularly one with largely identical specifications to every other Atom N450-based model. However, for its NB305 Toshiba has put a fair amount of work into making this one stand out from...

Stunning battery life and some clever hardware and software touches make this the best 10.1in netbook that you can currently buy.

Review: Toshiba NB305 netbook

 

Toshiba's newest model features the latest Intel Atom chip

Good keyboard; clear screen; long battery life for a netbook

Lots of memory-resident utilities may be a drag on performance

The NB305 updates Toshiba's netbook line with Intel's latest Atom processor, but performance and battery life remain about the same. However, like its predecessor, this system has a better keyboard and screen than you will find on many rivals.

Toshiba NB305 review

 

A little more expensive than the average netbook, but then the NB305 is also a little superior.

The temptation to fiddle just for the sake of it might have been simply too much for some manufacturers, but Toshiba has studiously left the NB200’s keyboard well alone. Those wide, squat keys look odd, but give them a chance and you’ll be glad you...

Toshiba Mini NB305 review

 

If there's been a Renaissance man in the world of first-gen netbooks it'd be the Toshiba Mini NB205. Its long battery life, comfortable keyboard and

Striking design ; One of the best netbook keyboards ; Large touchpad with right / left mouse buttons

Shorter battery life than other six-cell netbooks ; Thick bezel ; Slightly thicker than other netbooks

Toshiba Mini NB305-N600

 

The Toshiba Mini NB305-N600 ($380 as of April 5, 2011) comes from the higher end of Toshiba's two-part netbook family. Nothing if not eager to meet your netbook needs, Toshiba offers its two basic models--the Mini NB300 and NB500 series--in a total of...

Nice keyboard for a netbook ; Good-looking chassis and screen

Full of preloaded junkware ; Dismal performance; don't expect good multitasking

While handsome with an unusual metallic chassis, the Mini NB305-N600 is a subpar performer that costs more than comparable, better-performing competitors, including its own sibling, the NB505-N508GN.
