From: Bob Newman on 29 Nov 2009 12:37 Looking for advice please. I am considering buying one of two Toshiba netbooks (listed below). Does anyone know if there are any performance related differences between the two? They both have the N280 Atom proceesor. The only difference I can see is the hard rive size 160 v 250 and the first comes with Win 7 Starter, the second with XP. In either case I will be upgrading to Win 7 Home Premium ($79 from Win 7 Starter, $39 from XP via educational discount). Thanks in advance... Bob Toshiba NB205-N323 Netbook 1.66GHz, 250G 10.1" LCD Toshiba NB205-N210 Netbook 160GB, 10" LCD - Black

Bob Bob; I had the N210 for a short time, but returned it due to a defective touchpad. Very flaky performance with that touchpad, but it should be resolved with the newer model. This was a known issue in the Toshiba forums and I believe some of these were recalled, but can't swear to it. Otherwise, the newer version has a nicer "chicklet" style keyboard and just looks better than the N210. Good luck! Ken
