Description:

Exceptionally roomy and packed with enough muscle to drive applications you might otherwise reserve for your desktop PC, Toshiba's Satellite 5205-S505 Notebook is built for discerning individuals who won't settle for compact performance in their compact computer. Whether used for business, personal, or entertainment purposes, the Satellite 5205-S505 is capably outfitted to meet your requirements.

Toshiba has not skimped where it counts most--at the heart of the unit. The system is powered by a fast 2.2 GHz Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor, a whopping 512 MB RAM (expandable to 1024 MB) and an Nvidia GeForce 4 graphics controller with 32 MB of dedicated (not shared) 250 MHz DDR video memory. With this level of power, the Satellite 5205-S505 has no trouble running most common computing tasks, and will also effectively handle all but the most demanding 3-D animation/drawing packages and 3-D games.

Speaking of leisure pursuits, the Satellite 5205-S505 is ready to please. Toshiba has equipped the unit with several top-notch amenities, including a generous 15-inch SXGA+ display (1400 by 1050 resolution), a three-way Harman/Kardon speaker system with miniature subwoofer, and a DVD/CD-RW drive through which you can play audio CDs, burn music and data and watch the latest Hollywood blockbusters. Digital media enthusiasts will appreciate the trio of high-speed USB 2.0 ports and the single IEEE 1394 port, and everyone will enjoy the large internal 60 GB hard drive. To help you control your many applications, the system also includes a full-size 85-key keyboard, 12 function keys, and an impressive array of internal and external media buttons and illuminated indicators.

The Satellite 5205-S505 is ready for the future too, sporting a Toshiba Style Bay for supplementary peripherals such as a second optical drive, hard drive, or battery pack. Connectivity comes in the form of an internal 56K modem and a 10/100 Ethernet card. Surprisingly, this full-featured system is not inordinately cumbersome at 13.2 by 11.7 by 1.5 inches and 7.94 pounds.
