Description:
Designed primarily for those who need their portable computing to be just that--portable--Toshiba offers the Satellite 3005-S307 notebook. Barely tipping the scales at a featherweight 5.7 pounds and measuring just 10.6 by 12.2 by 1.4 inches, the 3005-S307 proves conclusively that downsizing isn't always a bad thing. If you think a notebook can't be both small and effective, think again. The 3005-S307 is driven by an Intel 1.13 GHz Pentium III processor, a capable chip that features Intel's battery-conserving SpeedStep technology and a sizable 512 KB of Level 2 cache for faster data transfer speeds. Internal memory is preconfigured at an adequate 256 MB (expandable to a full 512 MB), and system graphics are powered by a surprisingly potent 16 MB nVidia GeForce2 Go video card. Before you even open it up, you'll see that Toshiba has fashioned the unit with enough amenities to handle virtually any form of connectivity and future expansion. The impressive roster of ports includes two versatile PC card slots, three USB ports for plug-and-play peripherals, a FireWire port for high-speed data transfer, a parallel printer port, infrared and NTSC/PAL ports, and headphone and microphone jacks. A SmartMedia slot allows you to add SmartMedia RAM cards, and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network connection and integrated 56K modem ensure you'll stay in touch no matter where you are. With the 3005-S307, data storage and movement is not a concern. An accommodating 30 GB hard drive offers plenty of space for even the most software-intensive applications. A speedy and convenient DVD-ROM/CD-RW combination drive allows users to play and record their favorite music, back up valuable data, and watch the latest Hollywood flicks, while a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive handles smaller programs or files you might still store on a disk. Graphics are displayed on a surprisingly large 14.1-inch, active-matrix screen that supports resolutions up to 1,024 x 768. Positional audio in 2-D and 3-D is generated by an integrated Crystal CS4299-A Codec chip and delivered by a pair of end-mounted speakers. The unit's keyboard features 85 full-size keys, a variety of one-touch multimedia and Internet controls, a TouchPad pointing device, and handy scroll function. To help get you started, Toshiba has preconfigured the 3005-S307 with a number of useful software applications, including Microsoft's Windows XP operating system, Lotus SmartSuite Millennium Edition, Intuit Quicken Basic 2001, and Norton AntiVirus 2002.
