Toshiba mini NB505 Laptop Review——Design
The mini NB505 makes a good first impression despite its rock-bottom price. This 2.6-pound netbook sports an EasyGrip finish on the lid that’s available in multiple colors. The dimpled pattern continues on the black palm rest of the mini NB505, but this surface has a harder matte plastic surface instead of soft-touch paint.It measuring about 10.3 x 7.5 x 0.65-1.4 inches.

Toshiba mini NB505 Laptop Review——Keyboard and Touchpad
One of the sacrifices you make on the NB505 versus the NB305 is that you don’t get a chiclet-style metal keyboard. This less expensive netbook has plastic keys that are closer together, and some keys (such as the right Shift and Enter) are shrunken. Still, we found the typing experience comfortable.

Measuring 3.1 x 1.5 inches, the mini NB505′s Synaptics touchpad provides plenty of room for navigating the desktop.

Toshiba mini NB505 Laptop Review——Ports
On the left side of the mini NB505, from back to front, you’ll find the power jack, Ethernet port, VGA, USB, and microphone and headphone jacks.

The system’s 250GB, 5,400-rpm hard drive completed our File Transfer test in just under 3 minutes for a score of 22.8 MBps. That showing is above the netbook average but predictably behind the 7,200-rpm drive inside the HP Mini 1103 (28.6 Mbps).

Acer 4820TG laptop Review——Design
The Acer Aspire 4820TG on trial here is the 14-inch version, which blends portability and power into a convenient package. As with the previous Timeline models, there are also 13.3- and 15.6-inch versions available. It measures 341 x 240 x 30mm (30mm being at the rear, where the battery causes a slight bump). The screen itself is only 6mm thick, so it has a nice neat profile – good looking even.

Acer 4820TG laptop Review——Keyboard
The keyboard is reasonable: as with most current Acer models, the keyboard offers-up isolated flat keys, which are large enough to hit accurately when typing at speed. The layout of the keys is pretty good.

The trackpad is especially nice on the new Timeline. It is incredibly smooth and large enough to be practical. A scrolling area runs down the right-hand side to easily move up and down pages without having to resort to the keys. The one piece button bar across the bottom provides just the right amount of travel too.

Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5043 Laptop Review——Design
Weighing in at 5 pounds, the Satellite C655D is pretty light for a 15-incher. The matte black lid and deck have a dimpled texture that gives the notebook a nice grip. The lid flexes a bit, but the chassis feels sturdy enough to endure either a road trip or a short jaunt inside a computer bag.

The textured lid is attractive, but it does flex a bit.

The C655D-S5043’s connectivity options are limited, which is par for the course on a budget machine.
