Toshiba Mini NB305-N440 10.1-Inch Netbook

The first thing that needs to be said about the new Toshiba Mini NB305 is that this is a serious piece of technology. Of course, it’s made by Toshiba, and anyone familiar with that company’s cutting edge approach to innovation will certainly not be surprised by this netbook. As one of the newer ten inch models, it should be compared with other netbooks of its size – but has so many features that it seems to be begging for a comparison with larger netbooks and even laptops.

The basics

Weighing slightly more than two and a half pounds, the Toshiba Mini NB305 offers so many wonderful advantages that it is difficult to detail them all in the space provided here. Like other ten inch models, it is sleek, small, and just the right size to be carried in a purse or garment bag. Yet despite its small size, Toshiba found room for a keyboard that is roomy enough to comfortably roam with your finger tips, as well as a sizeable touchpad that is perfect for easy screen navigation.

A workhorse

Looks, of course, are not the only thing that the Toshiba Mini NB305 has going for it. It also comes with a 250 GB hard drive that is given all of the security that Toshiba can provide – using 3D sensors that recognize any sudden impact that may occur when you drop it or drop something on the netbook. It also utilizes DDR3 memory to ensure faster speeds during processing, which makes the unit more than just a portal for email and browsing. You can actually get some work done on this netbook!

Long Battery Life

The battery is a six cell unit that provides more than eight full hours of uninterrupted usage before needing to be recharged. That means that you can use it during a series of meetings outside of the office, or carry it into several lectures a day without worrying about it dying in the middle of something important.

Travel-Friendly Features

The NB305 mini notebook is engineered to watch your back while you’re moving fast forward—with features like USB Sleep-and-Charge to keep you and your MP3 player or smart phone fully powered, a Hard Drive Impact Sensor to help safeguard your data, plus an international limited warranty.

Easy to use for everyday tasks

The NB305 netbook is a great thing made better. It features the latest Intel® Atom™ N455 CPU for improved performance and enhanced video capabilities, which speeds things up when you’re downloading and streaming Web video content. There’s also more storage, and advanced Wireless-N for faster Internet connection.

Stylish, eco-conscious design

The NB305 features a durable textured finish in four sophisticated colors. Plus, it’s built with a mercury-free LED-backlit display and comes with the power-Saving toshiba eco utility™.

Something for everyone

For multimedia users, the Toshiba Mini NB305 provides webcam capabilities, the netbook-oriented version of Windows 7, and full wireless connectivity that will make it one of the most important parts of your home and office computing network. Most of all, however, you will benefit from the well known Toshiba display resolutions. Though many companies use 1024 by 600 resolutions, few provide resolution as clear and colorful as that provided by Toshiba.
