I've been using this for about a month now, and I'm definitely satisfied with my purchase. It's a fantastic netbook: Windows 7 runs smooth and fast, the chiclet keyboard is roomy and comfortable, and all the other major elements are polished and functional. My issue with the NB305, is the battery life, not so much while the computer is in use, but when it is hibernating or sleeping. When you're using it, the battery lasts a long time especially in so-called "eco mode" which adjusts the power settings automatically for maximum battery life, as opposed to maximum performance. Strangely, the issue I have with the battery, which is my only real gripe about the NB305 at all, is that it seems to drain inordinately large amounts of battery while it is in standby. If you simply close the screen when you are done with any given session, which I generally do, you'll find the battery significantly drained if you open it back up a couple hours later. Even in hibernate, it seems to eat power. You have to go through shut down before packing it up, and then you will find it lasts much longer.Obviously, this isn't a deal-breaker, it just requires you to adopt that new (and probably good) habit of turning everything off before packing it up. Startup is quick anyway, generally less than two minutes, so it hasn't been a huge problem. I still recommend this Toshiba, and don't regret my decision at all.
