I decided to purchase this one because it met and exceeded my requirements for a NETBOOK. The specs on this baby match up better than most. Great keyboard and mouse, keys feel great, wireless n, fast boot, upgradeable from 1GB to 2GB, user friendly ASUS Bios updater interface, Microsoft works, lightweight. You must understand first the context of my statement. I wanted a NETbook. Not a Laptop. I didnt want an “ultimate” or Professional” version of ANYTHING running on this NETbook. I wanted it to be lean and mean. I wanted a small, powerful, convenient AND FAST NETbook for casual surfing and email. If you wanted more, your in the wrong market. I didnt buy this to play games, edit, video, watch TV or DVD’s, etc. Like I said I didn’t want a Laptop. Windows Starter 32 bit is an excellent match for a NETbook. Think of Windows 7 Starter as just that, the place to start. I figured, if I NEED an “anytime upgrade” Ill get it. At this point, having had used it for a week, I’m not changing a thing. Less is more with a NETbook. Ill save upgrades for my LAPtop and DESKtop. From when I push the power button to my first opening click of Firefox = less than one minute. I removed some preloaded crapware, i.e. ASUS whistles and bells and some preloaded games. Added Norton Internet Security Netbook Edition, and bingo, the perfect NETbook.
My Seashell arrived Friday. The first hour or two I was unsure as my primary PC (work) is a Lenovo T400. This was so small.
After spending time getting used to the size and organizing the features to my preferences - I fell in love. It is exactly what I had hoped it would be. It’s perfect for surfing the net, reading news online, watching videos. It’s light and easy to use.
The storage will be large enough for my iTunes and to run the Office Suite. The 2 GB RAM is a nice upgrade compared to most other netbooks with just 1 GB. I think it’s going to be great for travel and just to have around the house for everyday internet needs.
Better than expected. The keyboard is great. I don’t have any problems with the screen as some other users commented. Battery life seems sufficient although I don’t use it for long periods of time. Great size and weight. And, I love the blue color of the netbook.

| Review by Patrick Nolan (NEW JERSEY) 2010-03-06 If you're in the market for a netbook is the one you want.

| Review by Thomas Spain (USA) 2010-03-07 I purchased this netbook and had no doubts. This is a great little laptop. Its size is deceptive, because it is a machine too strong. I use it mainly for watching TV / film and play World of Warcraft (where it plays smoothly with the settings on max) My only complaint is the trace... | |

| Review by C. Mozitis (NEW JERSEY, USA) 2010-02-27 I bought this for taking notes in college. It is light, good looks and has enough battery to last a full day of classes. This is a big "plus" in my opinion. Toshiba should load MS Office itself. I have two complaints: the mouse pad and buttons. The mouse freezes sometimes, so I can not use t... | |
