For a few more dollars than a netbook you get a compact computer that approaches the perfofmance of a fixed ancient laptop. My only complaint is that there is not a excellent keyboard feel. All the keys are on the same plane and I find myself losing my finger placement. Overall very satisfied even if.

i’ve had the T115D-S1125 for a couple of weeks now and like it. Screen is sharp, the black case isn’t as terrible a finger print magnet as i thought it force be. keyboard is excellent to type on and hdmi out is very useful. Few insignificant things stop me from giving 5 stars. Battery life is around 4 hours or less when doing more intensive operations like playing video. when by hdmi out to show to a tv, video stutters a small primarily on hulu, my macbook pro is fine as a comparison. trackpad takes a bit of getting used to and i made a lot of accidental clicks till i got used to it. Overall really like the laptop 4 hours battery life is still very excellent, like the screen and small size, surprised how excellent performance of the laptop and windows 7 are together and find i use this now for my main laptop in preference to my macbook pro.

I have been skeptical about purchasing a netbook instead of a traditional laptop for a computer for my wife to use around the home. Man am I glad I plucked down the superfluous $100.00 over other excellent netbooks. This thing is a powerhouse! About the only difference between this netbook and 2 year ancient laptop technology is the missing optical drive, on the other hand unlike many netbooks it comes loaded with Windows 7 premium instead of starter (A major problem in other netbooks). Another dynamite plus in this netbook is the built-in HDMI port to hook up your computer directly to a HDTV and watch Hulu, amazon on demand, netflix, or other streaming broadcasts. The laptop is as quick as any other middle of the line laptop, which makes it exceptionally quick for a netbook.

The keyboard did take me about 20 minutes to get used to, and while some review sites give the buttons a huge thumbs down, they are okay after by them for a while. If I am by this netbook on a desk I am likely to hook up a wireless mouse to it.

The built-in battery lasted 5 1/2 hours by it for the Internet and word processing.

When I ran itunes, MS Word, Firefox, and a few other smaller programs the computer did not have any distress with lag time. Boot time is a bit slower than I would like, but no complaints given it is a netbook. Like I said, I feel like it performs as well as any new laptop from a few years ago.

The weight is perfect to carry around the household, which my wife needs during the day with a newborn. It is very thin and very light.

I did not have any difficulty with scrolling while looking at websites – I have yet to run into one that has to be scrolled horizontally.

If you are looking for a netbook, but are place off by tiny keyboards, slow response times, slightly too small screens, and can spend a small superfluous, this is my favorite netbook out of the many I spent time researching and playing with at Best Buy and Walmart.

I have a 16 inch Toshiba dual core/4gb ram I bought a year ago and loved it, but I wanted something mobile with a longer battery life. I like Toshiba quality and chose they can have my business again. I was looking around for a netbook but then this came out. I went with the dual core just in case I needed to photoshop and watch movies on it later. I’ve looked at 10.1 inch screens, and they were just so tiny and have to scroll a lot when when reading online. 11.6 inch screen is perfect, I don’t notice the screen size being a problem. Screen is gorgeous, surveillance HD shows and movies look fine and play fine.

I have had this for about week and have done mostly web browsing and haven’t ran it through the ringer with reminiscence hog programs life photoshop yet but it feels just as quick as my 16 inch dual core with 4 gb of ram. I usually get over 4.5 hours battery life on bright settings but I place it on eco mode which dims the backlight and I get 5+ hours.

I watch youtube videos with ease but speakers are not the best which doesn’t matter since I use headphones on it. Hulu, Facebook, you name it all work just as quick as my laptop. Itunes works fantastic.

One thing was common in reading netbook reviews was that you can’t expect it to replace your fixed laptop or desktop. I honestly reflect this product can, especially if your an average user who watches youtube, listen to composition, web browse. I didn’t see the need to upgrade Ram yet and probably won’t so I don’t sacrifice more battery life.

One complaint is that is does get warm when I’m by it constantly but not like it is burning my leg warm. I’m used to the track pad but prefer by a wireless mouse. I picked up another logitech wireless mouse which works perfectly. If your thinking of getting a netbook, or just a laptop that has a long battery life but don’t want to sacrifice power, this is it.

Amazon merged the two models into one page and fixed most of their info, but they have the battery life listed as nine hours in one place and six hours in another; the six hour map is right (thanks, Philip!).

Also, the cheaper model (T115D-S1120) has a single core 1.6 GHz processor, not a dual core 1.5 GHz processor. This is now still inexact on one part of the page.
