HDMI port, good performance for a netbook, good speakers, good build quality and looks
Battery life not great, video playback was a little choppy on a Full HD television, touchpad texture was a little too rough, very reflective screen
The Toshiba NB550D netbook uses the AMD Fusion platform to supply good overall performance and better-than-usual multimedia features for a netbook. Its HDMI port allows users to connect it directly to a big-screen TV and its Harmon Kardon speakers produce...
Beefy audio from the small speakers; great performance by netbook standards; good battery life; comfortable keyboard
Design could be more appealing
The Toshiba NB550D isn't exactly beautiful, but its dual-core AMD processor delivers great performance for a netbook. Add in beefy speakers from Harman Kardon and a good keyboard, and you've got a well-rounded netbook....

You get the benefits of a netbook - portability, price, battery life - but most of the drawbacks too; if a netbook is what you're after, the AMD processor makes this a real competitorKey specs3.5mm jack, Ethernet, HDMI, SD, SDHC, USB, VGA, Wi-Fi, Windo...
The Toshiba NB550D feels sturdy, looks good, it's light and it has good speed for a netbook. The HDMI port should make it appeal to users who want something small that they can plug into their TVs to watch streaming video or downloads. Note that we di...

Decent visual design; good overall performance; excellent graphics performance for a Netbook-style computer; reasonable battery life if eco mode is engaged; good speakers.
Low battery life at maximum performance; memory allocation is low; Windows 7 32-bit further limits memory upgrades.
