Much faster than the single core atom netbooks. I own a N255 as well as this one, and the NB305-N600 blows the N255 away. I have a 2GB Crucial memory stick coming this week, would have been nicer if Toshiba would have just had 2GB installed from the factory. It's been a month since I have owned this netbook. I LOVE it, I use it daily now and don't even bother with my desktop anymore. It does everything I need it to, email, internet, itunes, pdf files, basic stuff. I installed 2GB Crucial stick and that helped quite a bit. Purchase the memory direct from Crucial... Amazon doesn't sell the right stick at this time. The wireless N is great. No problems with it connecting, it does so very quickly too! Raise the screen/lid from hibernate/suspend/whatever, enter password, within 5-6 seconds I am online. Be forewarned that Toshiba has a LOT of pre-installed software that is pretty much useless to most...

The machine I got seemed to freeze up if I tried to run more than 3 things at a time, so I maxed out the RAM to 2gigs. After that still didn't seem to fix things I did some investigating online about the Windows 7 Starter that it came installed with, it is designed to make netbooks look less attractive, you can only have 3 things on your desktop at a time. I upgraded to Professional and it was like night and day. With the upgrades this netbook is very capable, much faster than the NB205s. The battery lasts forever, so far not less than 7 hours no matter what I do with it. It has plenty of speed for what I want to do; Hulu and Netflix runs great, the WIFI is much better than the one in the NB205 I had been using. It's even a great conversation starter, it looks good. One of the main reasons I picked the Toshiba was that my girlfriend bought a...

After having only used it for roughly a week, the LCD behind the screen cracked rendering the screen unusable and therefore the notebook as well. The LCD cracked from simply closing the notebook. The notebook was fairly new and covered under a standard one year warranty, so we figured we would be able to contact Toshiba and have the issue remedied with no problem. Wrong. The first contact made to Toshiba was by my husband who was told that LCD damage is not covered under the warranty and repairing it would be more expensive than the product itself. He was quoted a repair cost of $500 dollars. The machine itself was a little under $400. I figured the representative he spoke to might have been misinformed and that they would be responsible for a product with an obvious manufacturing defect, so I contacted them myself and was told that Toshiba would pay to send the notebook to a repair depot and have it repaired free...
