Not As Advertised - EPC Netbook Critique

By Lucas Brooks


Returning to Amazon (who make it very easy) but it is now out of stock so no replacement. I needed it for a birthday present this weekend and I'm out of luck.

I also love having a webcam this will make it so much easier to communicate with my family and friends at home when I leave for college in ten short days. Thanks for reading my review and good luck in your laptop search.

I have been typing on every netbook I've come across for at least a year, and so far this keyboard has been the best one. Something about the way it's laid out just makes it seem more expansive.

So watch out for that. I always thought netbooks sucked. Battery life is also great. Great job Toshiba, I am very happy. My only complaint it the backspace key is slightly out of position and I sometimes hit the = key instead. The touchpad works well, but I bought a wireless mouse as that is more comfortable to navigate lengthy documents.

This netbook also never gets hot, saving battery life, because it doesn't have to use the cooling fan nearly at all. As an avid photographer, I needed a repository for storing and reviewing my images during my overseas backpacking trips. Please wait to buy DDR3 or DDR2 until you have the product in hand. The listing calls for DDR2, however, upon opening the package the computer clearly calls for DDR3. It is much faster than I thought it was going to be and thus far has handled everything I have thrown at it with ease. If you want to play high end games or develop, then get the Qosmio!

It is almost the same size as my original Toshiba square screen laptop, and dumps that annoying and useless number key pad on the right, which seems to be present on all other laptops and for most of us serves no useful purpose. You get just the part of the keyboard you need with essentially full-sized keys. It fits quite nicely in my backpack. It's light enough and small enough that I hardly know it's even there. The battery life is amazing, and it is durable feeling and charges fast. I would do yourself a favor and order the recommended 2G of Ram, it is a snap to install I did it with a Leatherman screwdriver and it was complete in two minutes. Hope this helps in your decision making. If you want to save even more money download AVAST free anti-virus or any one of the host of great free anti-viruses out there. Good value, light, good battery life, good wireless, feels comfortable and quality made, more powerful than might be expected. I purchased this for my son to use in school.
