Toshiba NB205-N310/BN Netbook (Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz - 10.1
Summary: A comfortable keyboard is high on the list of features wanted in a netbook, and the Toshiba Mini delivers, justified by the majority of reviewers who left five-star reviews. For the few who left one-star reviews, there had been issues with the unit's trackpad while one received a non-functioning unit. Overall, most people loved the size of this netbook (small but not too small) as well as its battery life. Good for web browsing, word processing, email and other tasks, the Toshiba Mini netbook is one to watch.

Asus Eee PC 1005PE-PU17 Netbook - Atom N450 1.66 GHz - 10.10
Summary: A whopping 14 hours of battery life was one of the many reasons this netbook received so many four- and five-star ratings with positive reviews. With its ability to offer high definition video and stream to a television with an HDMI connection, it was said to be one of the next generation netbooks for 2010. Light and portable were two words used by a few consumers when describing the netbook. While it was said to be small, that didn't take away from its power. That said, a couple people did mention that it's a little heavy because of the battery. Even they didn't take away stars, however, because they loved the extra long battery life.

Toshiba Mini NB205-N325BN Netbook (Intel Atom N280 1.6GHz - 10.1
Summary: The long battery life was one of the main reasons people liked this netbook from Toshiba. Nearly all of the reviews contained a five-star rating. A few people gave it low ratings, saying they had problems with some routers and was underpowered, but they were in the minority. Most were very happy with the performance and thought it was a good deal overall. Many said they had done a lot of comparison shopping before choosing this Toshiba Mini, but said they were pleased with their decision. While the standard 1GB of RAM was said to be adequate, most recommended getting the memory upgrade for better performance.
