This might be surprising at first, but it makes perfect sense, come to think of it. If we send money with a mobile app, we don’t need a bank.

Another Happy Customer – 11.6 Inch Netbook Critique

I don't leave home without it! I wanted something to carry while I was touring on the Motorcycle. Windows 7 Live Mail is terrific and can meet all your email needs. I am a photographer and during the AK trip took tons of pictures, downloading them all onto the little Toshiba which didn't blink once. Well I finally received my nb505 orange edition and have had time to really check it out thoroughly. I have the largest Toshiba laptop in the Qosmio and now I have the smallest in the nb505. Once you add RAM and configure it correctly (see cons), it actually becomes very fast. The inclusion of a cut-down MS Office 2010 and Norton 30-day trial is very convenient. My 17" notebook was in the shop for all sorts of malfunctions, and I happened to see and read reviews of this mini notebook on Amazon. For its size, you get a lot of bang for your buck. read more
