Nothing Compared To The Toshiba Satellite 1955-S803.......2005-01-11

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.

Awesome!.......2003-04-27

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.

Great! But not as mobile as you'd think........2003-04-22

I have one of these and I just TOTALLY love it!

However, don't expect to be able to open it up fully while
flying economy.

Not as bulky as it may seem, but PACKED with features.......2003-03-24

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!
