One of the first things we did when our copy of Windows 7 RTM arrived was to bring our array of netbooks out of the dark ages of Windows XP and into the next generation of Microsoft’s OS. The new Toshiba mini NB205-N210 was one of the first to receive the upgrade, and it handled the transition perfectly. Installing the OS was a breeze; drivers were automatically found for all of the hardware, giving it the same functionality coming out of the install as it had in Windows XP.
As PCMag’s laptop expert Cisco Cheng noted in his review, the NB205-N210 is the vanilla ice-cream of netbooks: unexciting, but still pretty sweet. The generic netbook hardware isn’t a problem for Windows 7.
