Description:
Designed to offer a good balance of performance, portability, and price, Toshiba's Satellite 1905-S301 notebook is one more reason why the Satellite series is such a mainstay of Toshiba's extensive notebook lineup. The 1905-S301 is a powerful computer, but not so powerful that you're forced to pay extra for state-of-the-art components. Driven by a fast 2 GHz Pentium 4 processor, with 256 MB of SDRAM (expandable to 1,024 MB), a fast front-side bus speed of 400 MHz, and a 16 MB ATI M6-P graphics chip, the unit will efficiently handle anything but the most technologically advanced 3-D rendering applications and games. Its large 40 GB hard drive offers plenty of storage space, and its combo DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive allows you to archive vast quantities of data, play and burn audio CDs, and enjoy the latest Hollywood blockbusters. Toshiba has even included an internal 3.5-inch floppy disk drive for older applications and smaller backup requirements. Featuring a positional 3-D sound card, an integrated set of stereo speakers, and a generous 15-inch XGA TFT active-matrix display capable of 1,024 x 768 resolution and 16 million colors, the 1905-S301 looks and sounds as good as it runs. The unit is not particularly small at 13.2 by 11.7 by 2 inches and 8.7 pounds, nor is it so cumbersome that you won't want to take it with you across town or across the country. Wherever you go, the 1905-S301 makes it easy to stay in touch. The system features a wealth of input and output options, including an integrated 56K modem for on-the-road Internet and e-mail access, a 10/100 Ethernet LAN for network connectivity and high-speed surfing, an IEEE 1394 port for super-fast uploads and downloads from DV-based camcorders and other video devices, three USB ports for plug-and-play peripherals, a headphone and microphone jack, and a PC Card slot. The system's control center features an 85-key keyboard, convenient two-button touch pad, a scroll pad, and hot keys. Toshiba has equipped the 1905-S301 with a bevy of applications, including the Home Edition of Windows XP, Lotus SmartSuite Millennium Edition, Intuit Quicken Basic 2001, and Norton AntiVirus 2002.
