I wouldn’t count on it for any serious sort of live video work, but for webcam stuff and editing DV it should be fine.
This netbooks is just to surf the web,chat,check your emails and use Office. All netbooks do that, is just to be online in everymoment. Buy a notebook.

I just got mine yesterday, with 2gb ram, IT ROCKS!, works like a charm, it´s fast, it´s so simple, but yet, so cool, it have what it needs, simplicity is the trend of the future, now i´m officialy a Netbook fan, i will never buy anymore another Notebook again.
By the way, HP SUCKS!, spread the word.
I have a question, can you run Vista or Windows 7 on this netbook?.

yes
remember is ubuntu,
nice msi wind i got that i love it like my acer aspire 1 but never get a sylvania even if it cheap bad product that what i heard i dont want to take that risk
i wish i had it but my sattelte is heavy and huge
The man has a point! The Libretto was the first “netbook” but I use the term quite loosely. It was ugly, thick, heavy, crap battery, no real trackpad and horrifically slow. Nowadays, a netbook is defined by it’s processor (usually an atom). As for your comparison to the MBA, it’s prettier, more robust due to an SSD and blows your libretto out of the water with a Dual core from Intel.
Could we have an update on the toshiba?
Nonsense. Toshiba made the first Netbooks, except they were actually fully functional and quite fast notebooks (still are). Toshiba Libretto U105. Released April 05. And the first internet capable Librettos were released 10 years earlier. The U105 has magnesium, padding, crumple zones, and air pockets to ensure survivability. Toshiba are the best manufacturers out there for mini notebooks. U205 12 inch is awesome too.
First Netbooks in History here:

..this was the best that shop had of the 3 available pff!. They had the AsusPC 701 for £154. They all felt ok 2use. The display of that Asus looked quite dull.
This is £260 @ the carphonewarehouse shop in the UK. Lets b honest compared to others this isnt vnice. If i cant find betr for 250-300, might get this vvsoon.
can Skype run on this???
Hey, brilliant review
Just wondering if you have it, does iTunes run smoothly on it? And MSN? 
Thanks!
Nice review!
Size isn’t an issue, it’s the positioning of the keys that makes the Toshiba NB100 unusable… if they had the decency to just move the arrow keys down to fit in a full sized shift key they’d have got a winner, but there’s no reason to kill touch typists just so your keys all fit evenly into 6 rows, so that’s inexcusable and probably the largest turn off for me and everyone I know when in the market for a laptop. Cheers to HP, Samsung and Acer for keeping their shift/enter key area in order.
Playing youtube and other video websites on these is terrible anyone know how to make it better for video?
