Toshiba Satellite U205-S5034 Notebook

Another addition to the ultra-thin and lightweight Toshiba Satellite U series of notebooks is the U205-S5044. Like the S5034, the U205-S5044 runs on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor - the T7200, running at 2GHz. With 2GB of main memory, the laptop is well-prepared for providing a complete multimedia experience.

The screen is a 12.1" TruBrite TFT LCD with a display resolution of 1280x800 pixels (native WXGA). There's no separate graphics card on this: it employs Intel's GMA 950 (Graphics Media Accelerator) which shares 8MB-128MB with the main memory.

The audio experience is enhanced by SRS TruSurround and SRS WOW stereo enhancements. The laptop comes pre-installed with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, but is branded Windows Vista Premium Ready. Available ports include three USB 2.0 ports, an RJ-45 LAN port, FireWire and RJ-11 for modem.

Toshiba's exclusive LifeSmart technologies are included on the laptop, which means you get extra safety features like shock-absorbs for the hard drive, spill-resistant keyboard and fingerprint reader with single sign-on facility.

The Toshiba Satellite U205-S5044 laptop carries a starting price tag of US $1,599.99. Order yours from Toshiba Direct. Specs in extended entry.
