Toshiba Mini NB205-N210 (NB200 series) 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 9 Hour Battery Life Review
Have had this for five months now and am very pleased to see my daughter playing on her favorite sites like webkinz, pixie hollow, etc. She loves this computer. I purchase this one based upon reviews and because it shipped with XP Home edition and not stupid Vista or Windows 7 I'm not a real OS edition:) 10" screen is perfect, key size and placement are great, battery life is very sufficient. You can burn a backup dvd of the OS but it would be better if the system came with an iso already like the asus systems. But hey, it's darn near perfect but sadly it seems no longer available;( The newer system is more than what I paid for this model (I paid 0) so I'd wait 'til xmas when the deals come out.
CONS:
1. No bluetooth (but really, its for my 10 year old so who cares!),
2. Not ssd so likely more prone to breakage
