I”m a classroom teacher and I wanted to try it out in my class.
My students love it. It’s just their size. The games on it are great and it has the word processing that I want my students to be able to do.
This little ‘netbook’ is very small. I liken it too a poor man’s OQO but it does its intended job: To get on the Internet. One cannot play WoW on it and expect it to mimic their home PC. Also it having a Celeron is something to hamper the expected performance of it. However, it comes underclocked! A good thing and a bad one too. That’s to save energy and extend the life of the machine. I was blessed to get a version w/ Windows XP on it for a reasonable price. The first thing I did was to bump up the SO-DIMM RAM to 2GB and that seemed to help. The auto update (which I disabled) stuck me with XP Service Pack 3, so that ate up the already small HD. Getting rid of the swapfiles freed up over 5% of the HD, which is a lot for just an 8GB hard drive. The 701 SD possesses a SD card reader (hence its name) so one can save the solid-state drive some room. It seems to run a little hot when it’s used for a while. The battery charges relatively quick compared to my Compaq V6444US.

| Review by gators (USA) 2010-08-27 I think it's great Netbook. I played with many others, but all felt very cheap for me and the keyboard, in particular, looked like a toy. Toshiba is definitely a small keyboard, so it's so nice to write on a keyboard full-size laptop, but it is the best I've seen on a netbook is... | |
