All in all, I WOULD recommend it to my friends!

*** UPDATE **** July 2011 ****

I did upgrade the memory to 2Gb on February'11 and it works faster, but, if you plan to do it, just be aware of THIS: 

(info from the Toshiba support web site)

"NOTE: Two types of DDR memory are used in the Toshiba NB500 and NB505 netbook series. 

In order to upgrade, you WILL NEED to determine the current memory speed of your Netbook before you buy and replace it:

1) Locate the gray part number label on bottom of machine.

2) If there is a "D3" in the UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER of the label, then DDR3 memory is installed, upgrade using the following: "PA3856U-1M2G Toshiba DDR3-1066MHz, 2GB Memory" or compatible.

3) All other units, assembled with DDR2 memory, upgrade using the following module: "PA3669U-1M2G, Toshiba DDR2-800MHz, 2GB memory Module" or compatible (cheaper).

Alternate Identification Method (Serial Number):

1) PLL50U-01900C (5B294965K or greater, or a serial number starting with 6B ,7B , 8B) use DDR3.

2) PLL50U-01900C (5B294964K or less, or a serial number starting with 4B,3B , 2B ,1B, ZA, YA, or XA) - use DDR2."

The NB505 offers a subtle look with shiny metallic reflections and engraved dot patterns, plus a rubber-textured cover (see larger image).

The NB505 features a comfortable full-size keyboard, plus a full-size touchpad with multi-touch capabilities (see larger image).

Choosing a lap top under $ 500 with maximum quality and capability

Choosing a lap top under $ 500 with optimum quality and capability. consumers who come to the store I tried to consult on a product that suits their financial capabilities. Some customers come and go back only to ensure the accuracy of the information and compare the findings from all the stores they visit and always ask about it.

There are several lines of information that I gave to them, which would probably be useful as a basis for decision making in buying a lap top.

Older technology

Intel Celeron
The oldest type of processor, clock speed has a speed lower than the intel pentium 4. More class with Intel Pentium 3. To perform data processing activities such as word processors, excel, application programming is still good, just not recommended to work game applications, graphic design and multimedia-related work / multitasking.
