    I'm looking into a buying a netbook and am probably buying one of the Toshibas. I was wondering if I should buy the n205-n310 model with XP and then load it by myself with Windows 7, or buy the n330 that's coming out in a week with Windows 7 Starter already installed. Supposedly, W7 Starter has a few limitations, and the battery life is less than the n310's. Also, the n310's are cheaper. Any ideas? Which would have better battery life?

    from what i understand Windows 7 Starter is very restricted..seeing how Windows 7 Home Premium does not have XP mode im pretty sure Starter doesnt have it either. I was considering the n205-310 until i heard about the 330 since it has a 250gb HD but after learnin about started the n310 seems like a better model
