I love this netbook.
Having read some of the reviews posted, I ordered the 2GB memory upgrade, however the netbook arrived several days before the memory, and I must confess I was pleasantly surprised regarding the performance with the standard 1GB memory which shipped with the computer.
I have now installed the 2GB memory upgrade, and must say that I am delighted with this small but perfectly formed package.
I had this netbook up and running within 2 hours of taking it from the box. Windows install, fully networked wirelessly with 4 other computers, hooked up to my BT Homehub, and browsing the net, MS office 2007 installed, virus software registered and updated, Windows XP updates installed, 3 network printers installed and and my stand alone Canon MP640 wireless all in one printer/scanner/fax installed, and printing.
Did I mention that I have been transferring my music, and documents, whilst browsing the net for the past 7 hours or so and still have 20% battery left !
Don't get me wrong, I have no illusions that anything more would be pushing this somewhat, but I plan to use this fantastic little piece of kit exactly as intended - as a NETBOOK.
I must admit, as an avid digital photographer, I missed having my beloved Photoshop available, but realising how resource hungry this software can be, I opted for the open source , FREE equivalent, Gimp 2.6, and am even more delighted that I now have an incredibly versatile machine at my fingertips 24/7. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Photoshop won't run, but I know form experience that this software (PS CS3) can be very memory intensive and can be very demanding on even the highest spec machines. I simply elected not to attempt an install on this mini computer)
I still run a 17" laptop, as well as a high performance PC, but am very impressed with the overall functionality of this great little piece of kit. Hugely portable, quick, intuitive, and no problems with keyboard or touchpad. Bear in mind that I am 6'1" with hands like shovels.
I agree with some of the comments regarding sensitivity of the touchpad, however easily solved ny switching off the "tapping" function of the touchpad.
No hesitation in recommending this little machine, as a perfectly capable mini computer. No designs on using this as a gaming machine, but why would you want to with a 10" screen ?

All netbooks are essentially the same in specification, but the long battery life, cute styling, and unusual keyboard make the Toshiba stand out from the pack.
I bought this because I wanted a laptop that was actually portable, and this definitely is. It's so small and light I can stick it in my purse and bring it with me to a coffeeshop or to work. It has a stylish look to it as well. I love that the power button is in the middle of the hinge of the computer. The white and silver looks nice and the chicklet keyboard makes satisfying clicks as you type. The most annoying thing I've found about the netbook is that because the keyboard is so small and the mousepad so sensitive, that at least once every ten minutes I accidentally hit the pad while I'm typing and it'll move the text to wherever the cursor is on the screen. Annoying! Also, keep in mind that when the netbook is folded up, the battery pack sticks out of the back. I bought a laptop bag for a netbook that I thought would easily fit, but because of the battery it didn't and I had to return it.
The battery life is what really makes this netbook excellent. It has over six hours of battery life so you can actually bring it somewhere and not have to worry about plugging it in after a couple of hours. Its processor won't win any speed contests, but it's quick enough for me to surf the internet and write. It does what I need it to do, but I'd hesitate to recommend it to people looking to do gaming or anything too heavy on it. All in all, I'm quite pleased with it and have zero major complaints.

I bought the NB200 a month or so ago to use on campus and while commuting/travelling, so far it has completed the basic tasks I ask of it very well, and, touch-wood, I've had no problems. It seems fast enough for for the work I do, and the wireless seems to pick up a connection very quickley. Easy to set-up and with impressive build quality I'd recommend the little Toshiba to anyone. The only downside is the larger battery pack that seems to be quite weighty, however, the battery's long-life means I don't have to carry the A/C adapter with me anyway. Whether the fact that my mum now wants one is a positive or not I'll leave you to decide.

I bought this because my primary laptop breaks my shoulders when I'm traveling, plus has a very lame battery life. This one is perfect, light, well made, and really long battery life. I added 2GB memory right away, and I can run all my programs, albeit somewhat more slowly than my main laptop. Still, it will run anything at a reasonable speed, fine if you are on a long plane flight.
Looks good and is unobstrusive at meetings.
Keyboard is fine, almost the same size as my big laptop, except the position of Home and End is weird. Touchpad is squirrley, I'm going to call Toshiba about that.

Nice and very well priced machine - perfect for meetings as you barely know it's in your bag. Breaks quite easily though as the screen is very delicate so you have to be a bit more careful than with more robust laptops.
