Toshiba NB305 vs. Asus eee 1001P-PU17: From what I understand, they're pretty much the same except for looks?

I did my homework and these were the two I came down to as well. Honestly, I think you'll be pleased with either. I haven't had the Asus in hand; I went with the Toshiba, as that's where my heart kept going back to. They're very close, feature/spec-wise. (I trust you're not expecting 720p+ video, because that does not play well on most netbooks.) Asus should have longer battery life, and it has built-in bluetooth. (Bluetooth USB adapter runs $20-25 otherwise.) The Toshiba is downright beautiful, and its texture won't pick up fingerprints. I don't know what the Asus screen is like; the Toshiba screen is excellent. I can vouch for Toshiba's multi-taskability, though I don't doubt Asus' capability at the same. I really think they'll both be loveable; what does your heart say?

I believe all of the models share the same parts. the best way to know for sure is to compare the one your trying to replace visually with the one you are looking at. Voltage and hardware in general will be the same(for this model) its the os or memory that change. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I looked at the image of L750 at Toshiba site and it looked exactly the same as mine but mine is L755.

Like a lot of people, I ordered this laptop on the Lightning Deal. The attraction was the great price break plus Blu-Ray. The next day I saw that they had removed the Blu-Ray in the product description. When the Samsung was delivered, I immediately returned it (unopened) to Amazon. I then decided to buy an Asus N61 model which has similar features, but is priced slightly more. Reason? Asus has received (PC Magazine 2010 customer survey) excellent reliability and customer service ratings, comparable to Apple. Because Blu-Ray is still desirable, I ordered the Asus slim-line external Blu-Ray player. It works great!!! Like a lot of people, I ordered this laptop on the Lightning Deal.

I spoke with customer service right now and they double checked. Unfortunately there is absolutely no ETA on the item. Is it even possible to get the ASUS U50Vg-B1 model which IS in stock and put a 500GB HDD, the 2.53GHz Intel P8700 Core 2 Duo Processor and the Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System? I mean.. Thats the only difference between them.. I would assume its possible and would be great if they would since we have been waiting so long for this product. Its about to be a month since its been released.. Help us! lol :(

Thanks! I appreciate the information. I'll probably buy the U100 (aren't lower numbers usually cheaper?), or maybe the Acer equivalent or even the Asus, though that seems to be a bit heavier. (I'd welcome opinions on the relative merits of these computers.)

Thanks ASUS, your input is always appreciated. I saw the official specs for the UL30vt and I am excited and my CC is equally excited. It is ready whenever Amazon posts the preorder product page.For others here it is http://gdgt.com/asus/ul30vt/specs/

Curious. Why wouldn't you be looking at the ASUS Eee 1000HA? Its battery life is virtually identical to the Samsung and is available on Amazon for $399. ASUS is a very big name in both laptops and netbooks.

It is an see model therefor it is as good as newer Toshiba such as the encore2 or Samsung product. It was excellentIn its day but if you are looking for speed etc. the newer models would be better.

My guess-- and it's only a guess-- is that there is a current $30 ASUS rebate available if you buy the 1005 together with an ASus DVD drive. (See the J&R; site) Amazon doesn't mention it.

I personally bought the eMachines eM250 (the exact equivalent of the Acer Aspire One D250, just rebranded) from Walmart for $228 by seeing it in the computer cage up in Maine. The EXACT same thing except WITH a bigger harddrive (250gig). Personally I love it, and even though the keys are slightly cramped (89%), I didn't want to deal with the Dell touchpad which is a pain in the butt. I'm a computer guy, and I played with it in a Staples to see if I liked it, but no thanks. Also the Acer/eMachines is a breeze to upgrade the RAM. Just remove a screw, pop out the 1 gig, and put in a 2 gig. So if I may, I would suggest stopping by Walmart to see if you can get lucky like me. Has a cool brushed nickel look to it too (but its plastic). I've put it through the ringer, and it is surpisingly pretty powerful! Here is the Amazon link to it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00323G71S/ref=s9_simi_gw_s6_p147_t1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0TVG5SXWRB9HWKSRM88K&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846

I'm not sure, Luis. But don't buy it. We've bought three in the past year. Two had to be returned immediately because they were defective. The one that "works" has all sorts of annoying issues. Maybe just bad luck for us, but after a third dud, I'd have to recommend looking away from Toshiba.

Thanks for your reply. I think I'll spend the extra $ for the larger hard drive (and better warrenty even though Asus had the best reliability rating of most other laptops so probably won't need it). I am replacing my ancient Toshiba Satellite and think the Asus is a better value.

Sorry I do not know specifically, but you could go to the Toshiba web site & that could point you in the correct direction

If the model numbers posted are the same there is no difference other than price. Both are XE700T1C-A01US. (the other models will be A0xUS -- pro versus normal windows, more memory, larger SSD and different accessories)
