Amazon.com Product Description
Satisfy your multimedia and gaming needs wherever you roam with the thin, light Toshiba Satellite P105-S6024 laptop. It runs the powerful Windows XP Media Center operating system, which enables you to save TV programming from the built-in TV tuner and save shows to the hard drive or burn to DVD via the dual-layer, multi-format DVD burner. It's also great for using as a media center, with Toshiba's unique Express Media Player enabling you to bypass the system and access CDs and DVDs with a touch of button. You'll enjoy fantastic TV and DVD viewing as well as immersive gaming graphics thanks to the 17-inch TruBrite display. You'll enjoy fantastic TV and DVD viewing as well as immersive gaming graphics thanks to the 17-inch TruBrite display.

It's powered by Intel's new, groundbreaking processor--the powerful Core Duo T2050--which provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved gaming and multitasking performance and a more efficient power consumption. The dual execution core T2050 has a 1.60 GHz processor speed, 533 MHz system bus, and 2 MB L2 cache. This laptop also features a 100 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed DDR2 RAM (4 GB maximum), tri-mode 802.11a/b/g wireless connectivity, and Intel GMA 950 graphics processor with 128 MB of shared video memory.

The Basics

• Hard Drive: Above average in size, the 100 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of tens of thousands of songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
  
• Processor: The Intel Core Duo T2050 processor is built with the Mobile Intel 945PM Express chipset, and it has a 1.60 GHz processor speed, fast 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

  The Intel Core Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the next version of Microsoft Windows, code-named Vista. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. It's more efficient, thanks to Intel's Power Coordination and Deeper Sleep, which help to transfer power only to those areas of the processor that need it. It also features Intel's Digital Media Boost, which delivers enhanced performance on floating point-intensive applications such as CAD tools, 3-D and 2-D modeling, video editing, digital music, digital photography and gaming.
  

• Memory: The 1 GB of built-in memory (PC4200, DDR2 SDRAM, 2 x 512 MB) is good start for power users, and it offers excellent 533 MHz speed. It has two memory slots, enabling you to add a maximum of 4 GB to handle immersive 3-D video games, video editing, graphics-intensive presentations, and multiple open business productivity applications. Also, to receive the benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
  
• CD/DVD Drive: The double-layer DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats, including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data--great for backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It features the following speeds: 2.4x DVD+R DL, 2x DVD-R DL, 4x for both DVD+RW/-RW, 8x for both DVD+R/-R, 5x DVD-RAM, and 24x/10x for CD-R/RW. It reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.

  With Toshiba's unique Express Media Player, you can won't have to wait for Windows to boot up before you can start a DVD movie or CD. Just a simple press of the button bypasses the system and starts your media playing.
  

• Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 85-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad. It also offers a launch button for the Express CD/DVD media player and control buttons (play, stop, next, previous).

The P105-S6024 has a 17-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels. It also provides TruBrite technology, which makes images brighter and more vivid thanks to its anti-glare feature.

It offers both VGA and S-Video output connections for connecting to monitors and TVs.

You get a good offering of connectivity options:

• 4 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
• 1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals

Customer Reviews

Great!
I have had the notebook for over 6 months and have no complaints. It has met all of my expectations. Except - When I get a new protect I expect to have some sort of problem, there haven't been any. So I have been very pleased with this purchase.

Toshiba Laptop Review
This is the second toshiba Laptop computer in the family, and was purchased based on the good experience the first one gave. The Toshiba Satellite P105-S6024 17" Widescreen Notebook PC has been trouble-free since it arrived. This computer's capabilities are great and the hard drive is large. I have burned disks, edited pictures (using my own added software) and have had no problems of any kind. The screen image is quite good, and the installed RAM is sufficient for all but the most demanding uses. Adding RAM is very easily accomplished and will enhance the computer's overall capabilities.

little big and different keyboard style.
Laptop is little big and is not that easy to carry while travelling. Also, the keyboard is different from the standard laptop keyboards.
Apart from those two, it works great and you have all what you require.
