If you are looking for an affordable alternative to the Satellite A105-S4344 or A105-S4284 laptops, then the new Toshiba Satellite A105-S2201 is for you. Available in Mist Gray, this new member is powered by an Intel Celeron M processor (running at 1.6GHz) and comes with 512MB of DDR2 memory.

The A105-S2201 features Radeon Xpress 200M graphics chipset, and is capable of a 1280x800 pixel resolution on the 15.4" widescreen TruBrite display. Toshiba claims a battery life of about 2-1/2 hours on a full charge.

The hard drive feels pretty limited at 80GB, and runs at 5400rpm. But audio playback takes a boost thanks to SRS TruSurround XT. The laptop also has S-Video out, which is nice.

The Toshiba Satellite A105-S2201 Laptop comes pre-installed with Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and is available for under US $750. Other goodies include four USB ports and Atheros 802.11 b/g wireless LAN technology. Extended entry has more specs.
