This refreshed version of the Toshiba NB305 is almost identical to the one we reviewed back in July, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. At the time, we said it was one of the best netbooks around. From the outside it's difficult to notice any dif...

Toshiba's NB200 netbook stood out with its fantastic usability and sharp, vibrant screen and is now followed by the NB305-105, another worthy entry to the bustling netbook market. The 10.1-inch LED backlit screen offers a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution an...

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...

I've always been a fan of Toshiba's netbooks. They offered just the specs the others did, but with some extra features and looks closer to my taste, with none of the glossy parts other netbooks have. That's also the case with the NB305, the new series of...

Overall, Toshiba did it once again with the NB305. It might not be the best in terms of performances, it might not provide the best autonomy and it might not be the most affordable, but all in one, this netbook is the most comfortable to use of all . It'...

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...

Toshiba made a terrific netbook in the Toshiba mini NB305-N410 ($379.99 list, 4.5 stars), as it dominated this genre with great battery life and a fantastic user experience. The Atom, like most netbooks, was its go-to processor. Since then, tablets hav...

New aluminum design. Small and compact. Dual-core Atom CPU. One of the best keyboards in the netbook category. Roomy touchpad and big mouse buttons. Affordable.

Yearning for a higher resolution. Battery life not as impressive as its predecessor.

The updates aren't major and there are better netbooks out there, but the Toshiba mini NB305-N600 has all your basic netbook needs for one low price. Buy it now...
