Purchase Netpc on 8/12/09 and Toshiba refuse to upgrade me to Windows 7- because it came with Windows XP preinstalled! Now they are selling them with Windows 7 preinstalled go figure.

If your like me just trying to get a smaller computer this is not it. The scrolling up and down to see a page was impossible. Window 7 STARTER is basically useless. The computer comes with nothing on it. Besides being pretty it was a big disappiontment.

I bought this computer two days and I have not been able to access the web via my wireless connection yet. My internet is working fine on all of my other computers on my the network. The weird thing is that, I can only access google.com and nothing else. And the netbook claims that it is receiving my internet at a 100% ( all five bars of the wireless indicator are lit up). Even weirder, when I went to return it, there was another customer in line with the EXACT same problem. She could only access google.com and nothing else. FIVE hours on the phone with tech support did not solve anything. So if you buy this computer it may not work with you router, which pretty much makes this netbook useless and defeats that purpose of getting netbook. A netbook is supposed to be portable and if I have to worry about whether this or that router is compatible with it, than this netbook is not portable.

Super product for the price – great for everyday use; emails, surfing, document writer. Required help to set up my USB modem, but was able to tether my Iphone without a hitch. It’s light and good looking- lots of oohs and ahhs from friends.

I am very pleased with this netbook so far. It is nice looking, seems sturdy. Trackpad has some minor issues but if you check that you have all the appropriate drivers installed then that should fix the issue. upgrading to Win7 Home Premium somehow deleted the trackpad driver but it was easy to re-install. Battery life is great, on my first real test of it I got well over 7, probably closer to 8 hours of use and that is including lots of downloading, burning a large disc with an LG portable superdrive (bus powered), and other pretty power-hungry uses.
Win7 Starter is purposely restricted so that Microsoft can gouge you $75 to upgrade to home premium. It’s a shame, but apparently bill gates doesn’t have enough billions yet. Of course, the other options are vista (yuck!) or XP (2gens old now!). If you are a student buying this to use at school look for the Win7 special price, you can upgrade for only $30, and get Office Ultimate for only $60. great deal.
I recommend also investing in a portable superdrive. Toshiba makes one but you don’t have to buy theirs, the LG one I got works just fine with this computer.
Most people will also want to get a 2GB DDR2 ram stick. I haven’t gotten one yet but I already want to after just a couple days, I can tell the computer is just struggling a teeny bit and more ram would really do the trick.
So now you’re talking over $500, depending on what kind of deals you can get on the netbook itself and all the addons. As it turns out, full size laptops on a good sale come with their own Win7 HomePremium and Superdrive included for less than that, so if you don’t need the superior battery and portability, a regular laptop might be better for you.
But, for a student this is a great buy. super portable, excellent battery life, and with the right tools it has everything you need. If you don’t want to be forced to work on that tiny screen all the time, look for either a cheap desktop to also use or an addon desk-size monitor that you can use while you’re at home. Wireless mouse and maybe even a fullsize keyboard might be a good bonus, as well.
