Description:

Designed for uncompromising individuals who feel the need to explore the absolute cutting edge of portable computing technology, the Toshiba Satellite 5105-S607 notebook brings high-end desktop performance to your mobile environment. It may be a bit bigger than a typical notebook at 11.6 by 13 by 1.8 inches and 7.04 pounds, but demanding users and multimedia fans should find the extra size a workable tradeoff for all that power.

Unlike many notebooks, the 5105-S607 cuts no corners. The fun begins right at the heart of the machine, where Toshiba has positioned a massive 512 MB of PC2100 DDR SDRAM alongside Intel's potent 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 processor (400 MHz bus speed, 512 KB of Level 2 cache). To help ensure your fast-moving data doesn't bog down on its way to the jumbo 15-inch Toshiba Personal Theatre UXGA active-matrix viewing screen, the 5105-S607 also packs one of today's most capable mobile video cards, the nVidia GeForce4 440 Go. Sporting 32 MB of DDR video RAM, the 440 Go will make short work of virtually any multimedia source. A high-powered Harman Kardon three-way stereo/subwoofer system capably broadcasts both 2-D and 3-D audio.

With the 5105-S607, the movement and storage of data is never a concern. An accommodating 40 GB hard drive offers oodles of space for even the most software-intensive applications. A convenient DVD-ROM/CD-RW combination drive allows users to play and record their favorite music, back up valuable data, and watch the latest and greatest Hollywood flicks, and a 3.5-inch disk drive handles smaller programs or files you might still store on a floppy disk.

The unit's keyboard section is second to none, featuring 85 full-size keys, 12 one-touch Internet and multimedia buttons, and a monochrome LCD cPad touchpad that graphically displays important functions and houses several convenient secondary applications of its own. The roster of ports includes three USB ports for plug-and-play peripherals, a FireWire port for high-speed data transfer, an infrared and NTSC/PAL port, and two multipurpose PC card slots. A 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network connection and integrated 56K modem ensure connectivity in any situation.

Toshiba has fitted the 5105-S607 with a surplus of popular software, including Lotus SmartSuite Millennium Edition, Intuit's Quicken Basic 2001, and Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows XP. All in all, this is a top-level system that not only mimics the finest desktop computers but may very well replace them.
