I was given this laptop by a friend for free. In my opinion, this laptop would be brilliant as a netbook. It is really small and lightweight, and with the correct operating system it can be very fast. I also want to comment on how durable the laptop is. I have spilt 2 glasses of Coke onto the keyboard and parts of the laptop and it has come through smiling. I was really impressed. Another thing that is good about the laptop is that Toshiba decided to include the Port Replicator for free. The port replicator adds more USB ports, an ethernet port and a few others.
The downside to this laptop is mainly the RAM. The laptop comes with 64Mb of RAM which can be upgraded with 32Mb, 64Mb and 128Mb modules. The problem with these RAM chips is that they are VERY expensive. £50 or $70 for the 128Mb module!!!
The laptop can also get quite hot and the cooling fan is quite loud. I would also suggest that you take care of the battery as it can suddenly drop to 5% capacity when it was at 80%. Please also bear in mind that the hard drive is quite small so a hard drive upgrade might be a good idea.

As this laptop is very small, it does not have a floppy or CD drive built in, but the laptop comes with a external floppy drive. To use a CD drive with the laptop, i recommend buying a PCMCIA external CD drive, as USB drives are not recognised by the laptop.

I must warn anyone trying to upgrade the OS that is is extremely difficult. I managed to do so after hours of research on the internet.
If anyone would like to know how to upgrade their laptops OS then you can contact me at lmattheus@hotmail.co.uk
I would be happy to help with any questions you might have.
