Amazon merged the two models into one page and fixed most of their info, but they have the battery life listed as nine hours in one place and six hours in another; the six hour figure is correct (thanks, Philip!).
Also, the cheaper model (T115D-S1120) has a single core 1.6 GHz processor, not a dual core 1.5 GHz processor. This is currently still incorrect on one part of the page.

I have a 16 inch Toshiba dual core/4gb ram I purchased a year ago and loved it, but I wanted something mobile with a longer battery life. I love Toshiba quality and decided they can have my business again. I was looking around for a netbook but then this came out. I went with the dual core just in case I needed to photoshop and watch movies on it later. I’ve looked at 10.1 inch screens, and they were just so tiny and have to scroll a lot when when reading online. 11.6 inch screen is perfect, I don’t notice the screen size being a problem. Screen is beautiful, watching HD shows and movies look fine and play fine.
I have had this for about week and have done mostly web browsing and haven’t ran it through the ringer with memory hog programs life photoshop yet but it feels just as fast as my 16 inch dual core with 4 gb of ram. I usually get over 4.5 hours battery life on bright settings but I put it on eco mode which dims the backlight and I get 5+ hours.
I watch youtube videos with ease but speakers are not the best which doesn’t matter since I use headphones on it. Hulu, Facebook, you name it all work just as fast as my laptop. Itunes works great.
One thing was common in reading netbook reviews was that you can’t expect it to replace your regular laptop or desktop. I honestly think this product can, especially if your an average user who watches youtube, listen to music, web browse. I didn’t see the need to upgrade Ram yet and probably won’t so I don’t sacrifice more battery life.
One complaint is that is does get warm when I’m using it constantly but not like it is burning my leg warm. I’m used to the track pad but prefer using a wireless mouse. I picked up another logitech wireless mouse which works perfectly. If your thinking of getting a netbook, or just a laptop that has a long battery life but don’t want to sacrifice power, this is it.

I recently bought this netbook… it is faster than my desktop. This thing is a freaking powerhouse and runs very smoothly. The screen is crystal clear. The keyboard is great, not too small like some netbooks, although the trackpad does get some getting used to, it takes about 10 mins. I recommend this netbook for $499….you can’t get a better netbook, or even desktop for that matter. This sounds lame but I was able to run WoW very smoothly on it, even in crowded areas I was still getting around 30-35 fps, which is more than enough to play very smoothly. The only downside is that 800 mhz RAM is so expensive… but I put down the money to upgrade this baby to 4gbs of RAM. Also, the longest battery life I’ve had on this thing was like around 4 and a half hours, haven’t tested battery life much yet, but that’s good enough for me, hoping I’ll get around 4-5 consistently! Thanks Toshiba! BUY THIS NETBOOK IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT IT!

As another reviewer mentioned, this laptop is a powerhouse!
The screen is just beautiful, and 11.6 inches is perfect for viewing.
The current 9 inch mini netbooks are too far on the small side, for my liking, but
this one straddles the line between portability & pleasant viewing, easily.
It’s very sleek, very thin, solidly built, though light.
Windows 7 is an absolute marvel, erasing those awful memories of the vista experiment.
Windows 7 is so intuitive & well thought out, one need not even read the tutorial.
This OS blends everything beautifully, leaving a well organized (and easy to get to)
list of files & folders.
This Toshiba may be more expensive than the current breed of budget netbooks, but it is
well worth the extra money.
It does everything so well, from booting up to displaying video, all with a streamlned speed & grace.
My only issue is the somewhat flimsy feel of the keyboard.
It’s nicely laid out, but one is almost afraid to hit the keys too hard.
Overall, an excellent addition to Toshba’s Satellite family of notebooks.

I have been skeptical about purchasing a netbook instead of a traditional laptop for a computer for my wife to use around the home. Man am I glad I plucked down the extra $100.00 over other good netbooks. This thing is a powerhouse! About the only difference between this netbook and 2 year old laptop technology is the missing optical drive, on the other hand unlike many netbooks it comes loaded with Windows 7 premium instead of starter (A major problem in other netbooks). Another dynamite plus in this netbook is the included HDMI port to hook up your computer directly to a HDTV and watch Hulu, amazon on demand, netflix, or other streaming broadcasts. The laptop is as fast as any other middle of the line laptop, which makes it exceptionally fast for a netbook.
The keyboard did take me about 20 minutes to get used to, and while some review sites give the buttons a big thumbs down, they are okay after using them for a while. If I am using this netbook on a desk I am likely to hook up a wireless mouse to it.
The included battery lasted 5 1/2 hours using it for the Internet and word processing.
When I ran itunes, MS Word, Firefox, and a few other smaller programs the computer did not have any trouble with lag time. Boot time is a bit slower than I would like, but no complaints given it is a netbook. Like I said, I feel like it performs as well as any new laptop from a few years ago.
The weight is perfect to carry around the house, which my wife needs during the day with a newborn. It is very thin and very light.
I did not have any difficulty with scrolling while looking at websites – I have yet to run into one that has to be scrolled horizontally.
If you are looking for a netbook, but are put off by tiny keyboards, slow response times, slightly too small screens, and can spend a little extra, this is my favorite netbook out of the many I spent time researching and playing with at Best Buy and Walmart.
