If there's been a Renaissance man in the world of first-gen netbooks it'd be the Toshiba Mini NB205. Its long battery life, comfortable keyboard and attractive and sturdy build distinguished it from the others, even when it made a late entrance to the little laptop market last year. Like most manufacturers, Tosh has gone and refreshed its knockout netbook with Intel's Atom Pine Trail platform and slightly altered the design. But has the competition caught up to the $399 Mini NB305? Or does the Mini NB305 still hold a place in our hearts as the most versatile netbook out there? Find out after the break in our full review.
Straight up, we love the design of the Mini NB305. Compared to the Acer Aspire One 532h and the ASUS Eee PC 1005PE it feels tougher and it's just better looking. Sure, it may not be as dapper as the Nokia Booklet 3G, but its matte plastic lid adorned with diagonal raised lines and its silver-ish rounded hinge gives it some standout appeal. And yes, it feels good not to complain about a glossy fingerprint attracting cover. We also like the centered-on-the-hinge power button that glows when the machine is turned on. The six-cell battery has been remolded so it doesn't horizontally bulge out of the back, like it did on the Mini NB205, and it now only protrudes slightly from the bottom. The entire 1.4-inch thick chassis isn't as thin as the inch thin Aspire One 532h, but at 2.6 pounds it's still fairly light.
Around the netbook are the standard ports: three USBs, VGA, Ethernet, an SD card reader, and mic and headphone jacks. Many have been asking about the lack of HDMI ports on these new netbooks, and while we'd welcome the additional port for easily hooking up to a larger monitor or HDTV, it's obvious Atom alone can't handle even 720p videos, and thus it's been left off the list.
