Having used the computer for a week now I am editing my original review. Initially the sound was so poor that I found the speakers pointless to even have. A quick Toshiba update using the included software fixed this problem and now they are just fine (nothing special but loud enough for a small room). The keyboard is actually subpar though. It is not terrible, but it has several keys which are to small and almost unusable, especially for those who use the alt or windows keys. However after a little practice I seem to be getting the hang of it and wouldn't call it a deal breaker. Overall, I needed more then a netbook but nothing as big or expensive as a full-on notebook would have been, and this perfectly fits my needs. I can run MS Office just fine, surf the web, watch movies, and run other basic programs very comfortably. I love netbooks and own two, but they are just so much more limited then this is and the single inch difference in the screen is mindblowing (since the resolution is higher it also doesn't require the same degree of scrolling on webpages which my Asus EEE PC 1000 does, and the Toshiba has a very bright display with wonderful color saturation). If you want something for intensive program use, look elsewhere. If you want something that will run all the basics, and run them well, this is a great choice for the frequent traveler. Last thing I will say is that the battery life is superb, I get about 5/6 hours running wifi and full screen brightness.
If you can stand a finger-print magnet and a 11.6 inch screen, this is as solid a choice as any. However for just a bit more you can get an Acer which has a core-i3 processor (would blow this Toshiba away in speed) and bluetooth as well. Though for around $400 you won't do better than this.

I was pleasantly surprised at how fast I got my order. I was a little concerned about the projected delivery date but was reassured by the customer service representative that I would get the computer much sooner. I live overseas and the computer was delivered within one week. I will be glad to do business with them anytime in the future.

Nice unit, couldn't be happier.
Size just seems so much more user friendly than the one size smaller netbooks.

This notebook really is quite a nice package. It has a decent size HD
and graphics memory.
The major issues are the sound and built in camera.
The sound was at first almost inaudible and only after repeated
tinkering, deletion and reinstallation of drivers could we get a
decent amount of volume from the speakers. BUT the down firing
speakers at the BOTTOM of the notebook are still inadequate due to
their stupid placement. What was Toshiba thinking??
As for the built in camera-well it leaves much to be desired. In lower
light conditions the camera is essentially useless-no way to fix the
problem. Much of the reason we purchased this computer was for
portability-to use Skype on the road in for example a hotel room or
airport lounge - in anything other than daylight the camera won't
capture or transmit any decent image. So so long as you carry an extra
camera such as Logitech, and external USB speakers, you can get
real functionality. Defeats the purpose of a computer with built in
speakers and camera!
One major bone of contention is the notion of creating recovery discs-without a CD/DVD rom. How do you do this?? So we had to go back to the store to buy an external drive (after two in between trips to buy a camera and speakers)to do Toshiba's bidding. Could not get anyone at Toshiba to explain why we do not have ORIGINAL driver discs. We were told by online reps that most customers preferred to create their own recovery discs and that no one wanted original operating sytem software!!
Instead there is a lot of junk software that clutters up and slows the machine, which like other buyers we deleted to free up space and speed...
Otherwise a great machine which fits in nicely between netbooks
(really rubbish given their atom processors and base level windows opearing system software)and a fullsize laptop. Hey Toshiba, make and sell a sleeve that fits this computer- we spent
days/weeks, and more numerous visits to Best Buy, Office Depot, Staples to find
a protective sleeve to carry the machine in.
Only costs a little more than a netbook.... February 7, 2010

I got mine for fifty dollars less from a NorCal electronics discounter. I wanted to try one of the CULV powered "netbook class" computers to see if it can support Hulu. My Atom powered netbooks do fine on home-brew h.264 coded videos, but stumble on Hulu - I have to run Hulu at 360p inside a browser and be very careful about running other apps at the same time - even antivirus (running memory resident) sometimes needs to be shut off.
On the Atom netbooks, Windows experience for processor calculations per second is typically 2.4. On my new Toshiba, it is 2.9. Not a huge increase, but the computer is noticeably zippier in a hard disk virus scan, downloading and installing programs, etc. I can run youtube dot com/html5 beta test videos full screen in 360p, something I cannot due on the netbooks. So overall this is faster. I cannot run Hulu full screen even in standard rez satisfactorily even on this more powerful netbook.
I may have a weaker battery in my version - I only show an indicated 4.5 hours of battery life from the battery monitor, but I have the power settings adjusted to high performance with full screen brightness.
Oh yeah I should add that the processor and graphics are driving a higher rez screen than on Atom netbooks, but it is STILL zippier - on Atom netbooks I have with similar high rez graphics, the extra pixel driving takes a noticeable toll on their performance.
Overall this netbook gives a very satisfying level of performance and is definitely more powerful than an Atom netbook.
So your choice is to pay about $100 more than a barebones Atom with 1gb/160gb for this CULV (Celeron 743) powered "super" netbook with 11.6" screen in higher rez with a bigger keyboard and 2gb/250gb - or get the Atom because it weighs about a pound less, is smaller, and can have up to 4-6 hours more battery life assuming the more powerful 6 cell battery option.
If this is going to be your primary laptop, I'd go with the Toshiba. Simply a better keyboard, larger hard disk, prettier version of Win7, faster processor.
But if you need an ultralight machine for frequent travel, I still recommend the Atom netbooks. But don't upgrade them with memory, bigger harddrive, or you may as well just pay the small extra for this better spec'd Toshiba.
One caveat - if you can use an iPod Touch for light browsing needs on most trips, you might prefer this more robust CULV netbook instead of the lighter Atom netbooks.
BTW Toshiba but a horrendous number of its own accessory programs installed on my machine, which took be about an hour to uninstall. Machine was faster after.
Keep in mind that neither this Tosh nor the typical netbook is going to provide an ideal Hulu experience, although with the superior graphics in this machine (GMA 4500) it SHOULD be much better once Adobe cleans up its act with Flash 10.1 which is beta 2 right now (and only works in the beta version with Nvida graphics chips despite Adobes claims to the contrary). If Hulu would run on this significantly better than on an Atom, I wouldn't even consider an Atom netbook.
My current favorite Atom netbooks, in order, are the HP Mini 210, the Asus 1001p, and the Acer a0532h which range from $300-350.
