Toshiba NB550D

A light travelling companion – Once updated this computer performs quite well, can be slow if it becomes overloaded with programs or photos like most but generally works well. Came with a starter Windows pack and upgraded to Windows 10. A little faster and has good video, leaves the Ipad for dead. Battery life is good, works well on Wi Fi. Great for travelling as it is light

Excellent all round mobile computer – A well rounded little product, beats the ipad for word processing and web surfing, hands down (As PC does not limit the viewing of Adobe FLASH).

I bought a portable DVD drive at $55 to complete the flexibility of the machine as you should do a backup image so that you can recover if your Windows 7 start failed on you. Toshiba does not provide a restore CD but I believe their support provides one for you to download if you need. Small, heaps of features for what you paid. Nothing, 2GB ram would be nice, even though I was ok with 1GB.
