Toshiba Satellite U205-S5034 NotebookThin is in. At least that's what Toshiba's statement seems to be with the new ultra-portable Toshiba Satellite U205-S5034 notebook PC. With a smallish 12.1" widescreen LCD that employs TruBrite technology, the U205-S5034 is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T5200 processor running at 1.6GHz.

At just 1.34", this baby is slim and weighs just 4.1 pounds. In order to enhance the security, stability and performance of the laptop, it is bundled with Toshiba's LifeSmart Technology. These include shock absorbers that protect the hard drive in case of a drop, a spill-resistant keyboard (those of you that drink coffee while working, raise your hands) as well as a fingerprint reader.

Equipped with a 100GB 5400rpm serial-ATA hard drive and 1GB DDR2 main memory, the Satellite U205-S5034 comes with a DVD SuperMulti drive supporting as many as 11 formats. Other standard fitments include a V.92 56kbps modem, 10/100 LAN, SRS TruSurround XT and a 5-in-1 media card reader.

Like with most new Toshiba laptops, the Toshiba Express Media Player is available with this Satellite, allowing you to use the laptop solely as a media player to play DVDs/CDs without having to boot into your operating system.

Prices start at US $1,299.99, and the Toshiba Satellite U205-S5034 laptop is now available. Check out more specs in the extended entry.
