My New Netbook!

So sorry I haven't posted in a while- school is so hectic these days with 18 hours! However, I have great news. I purchased a new Toshiba netbook. For those who don't know what this is, a netbook is a small version of a laptop. Mine has a 10.1-inch screen and a 250GB hard drive. I absolutely love it! It is much lighter, making it easy to transport to class and quite frankly, I find it very fashionable with its blue design.

I purchased my Toshiba NB505 mini at Best Buy with the help of various employees. I wanted to make sure I got the best computer within my budget. I would recommend Best Buy to anyone looking to buy a netbook because the staff was really helpful and intuitive to my wants for my new computer. The only thing I don't like about my new computer is the built in mouse. The left and right buttons are really loud. If I attempt to use them to scroll, everyone around me hears, "click, click, click, click..." I guess next time I will play around on the computer a bit more before buying it; although I don't think I would have chosen another one anyways because the battery life is nearly three times that of my old computer and the features that come with this netbook are fantastic. 

I will use this in my professional practice as my travel computer. I obviously will have a desktop because of the more suitable capabilities for the elementary classroom. However, my netbook will be great for keeping up with parent's emails and doing basic internet work. I have used it for several weeks now and find it as an adequate substitute for a laptop, at least in the capacity of which I currently use one.

I named him Tosh! My new baby!
