Summary: Nothing Compared To The Toshiba Satellite 1955-S803
Review: My friend has this laptop because when I got the 1955-S803 he got this 5205-S703. You have to be an owner to realize how good the 1955-S803 really is. This only has a 15" monitor while the 16" really helps out when computing around the web or playing a game on the nVIDIA Graphics with 64 MB. 60GB is very good especially for a 2002 notebook PC. Battery life sucks so badly because I've had it for 2 years and now for some reason the battery only lasts for like 45 minutes! This notebook does have okay battery life. This also has a DVD-Burner which doesn't exsist in the 1955-S803. Both have Windows XP Home Edition. Both are Pentium 4 but the 1955-S803 has a P4 2.49 GHz Processor (It does have WiFi) while this has a P4 2.0 GHz Mobile Processor. This also is lighter weight at about 8 pounds and the 1955-S803 is about 10 pounds. I really love my Toshiba 1955-S803 but if you want this I really don't care.

Summary: Superb notebook but pricey
Review: One of the first notebooks with built-in DVD writer and also built-in 802.11b wireless networking. Really nice, but could be cheaper.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: Outstanding computer with a great "WOW" factor. I have had this machine for a month now and still have not used all of its' features. So many great thing, but the speakers may be the best. The only negatives is the smallness because of the high resolution, but you get used to it and you can adjust it. The other is the weight, but the great amount of features more than negate it. Definitely get a second battery if you are going to be mobile.
Overall, great machine and well worth the money.

Review: Sleek looks, fast speeds, and packed with features. Add Toshiba quality and you have pretty much the cream of the laptop crop. You will not be disappointed with the 5205-S703!

Summary: A tale of two notebooks
Review: You may have noticed Toshiba is selling two very different notebooks for the same price: the 1955-S803 and the 5205-S703. So which is better? The 1955 cost about the same as the 5205, has the same memory, same HDD, a bigger screen and faster CPU, so it must be the best choice right? Well maybe not. The 1955 has a nice big 16" LCD, but the *quality* of that screen is much lower than the 15" screen on the 5205. Also the 1955 is using a P4 desktop CPU, whereas the 5205 uses a P4 mobile CPU. The desktop CPU runs hotter and drains the battery faster. So which is better? Well it depends on what you want. The 1955 is a great choice if you are going to plug into a wall socket and don't plan to use your notebook on your lap (the bottom gets hot). It more like a desktop computer you can move around easily. The 5205 is a better choice if you need more battery life or want a very high quality screen to reduce eyestrain, do CAD work, or to play the latest 3D games. Personally I prefer the 5205 for the longer battery life and high quality screen. The build quality is also a little better (both are good). CPU:
1955 2.5 GHz P4 Desktop CPU
5205 2.0 GHz P4 Mobile CPU (cooler, battery last longer) Screen:
1955 16" LCD 1280x1024 pixels (that pixel count is too low for a 16")
5205 15" LCD 1660x1200 pixels (provides a much sharper image) Graphics chipset:
1955 NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go (good enough for some 3d games, light CAD)
5205 NVIDIA GeForce4 460 Go (about 30% faster than the 440) Weight:
1955 9.5lbs (getting a little heavy)
5205 7.5lbs (not bad) Both offerings have serious competition from Dell, HP/Compaq, and Gateway so look around.
