Toshiba Mini NB305-N410BN review

The six-cell battery in the Toshiba Mini NB305-N410 ran for 7 hours and 4 minutes using our video playback battery drain test, which is a fantastic number for a Netbook. Great battery life is fast becoming a standard of newer Atom N450 Netbooks, but it's important to note that 7 hours represents what we consider a grueling scenario of continuous video playback: under less strenuous conditions, battery life should be even longer.

Toshiba includes an industry-standard, one-year, parts-and-labor warranty with the Mini NB305-N410, which can also be upgraded to three-year coverage. Support is accessible 24-7 via a toll-free phone line, an online knowledge base, and a Web site with driver downloads.
