Good netbook with full keyboard
Great little netbook at an affordable price. Specs are pretty standard for a netbook 2010/2011: 1G RAM, 250GB HD, 3 USB ports, a video camera base, separate Mic & headphone jacks, SD card slot, VGA output and a very useful self-8am.There are many such netbooks on the market, but what really stands out for me on this one is the keyboard, the keys FULL size with all the main cursor movement keys: DEDICATED up, down, right, left , PgUp, PgDn, HOME and END. I work a lot with Excel spreadsheets and it is really uncomfortable to move by pressing Fn + end / ORF to the end + / down or ctrl + fn + home, ctrl + fn + end, etc to get around. Also scrolling with PgUp / PgDown while reading a web page is the duration of pain when you have to press the fn key too! With most netbooks you have to live with the Fn key, and not in this case, the NB505 keyboard is really convenient and comfortable, almost like a full laptop or PC keyboard, even to the position of the keys is not standard, they allow you to make the job easier and faster.
I also love the feeling of the event: as some very soft rubber cover is very nice and handles nice!
Windows 7 Starter is really basic, but you can find programs, public services and advice on the Internet to take care of the base “missing features” such as changing the background image, colors, sounds, resize images, and so I got rid of most of the Toshiba Utilities and Norton, and installed MS Security and my favorite freeware utilities Home Edition.
I wish I had stereo speakers, but the netbook includes only a mono speaker in the unit.
I no longer have the Toshiba laptop with an excellent experience, in fact, they are still working (WIN98, 450MB HD, 64MB RAM)! So I decided to take the risk and bought the netbook from Amazon. It arrived quickly, and working OK! (No DOA).
Its been a month since I had the netbook and I’m always happy, but I think I’ll put the memory to 2 GB, to do smoothly, I think Win7 heavier than Win XP 1 GB of RAM (but it’s just my opinion …).
Overall, I recommend it to my friends!
