Amazon.com Product Description
Designed primarily for the mobile professional, the Toshiba Satellite A25-S279 Notebook PC is a solid choice for businesspeople and anyone else that needs a powerful and versatile mobile setup but doesn't require the extreme portability of an ultra-lightweight.

As the fastest member of Toshiba's midlevel A20 series of notebooks, the Satellite A25-S279 is driven by a potent 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 processor and 512 MB of DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to 1024 MB). These are solid components that should keep you computing at a top level for some time to come. However, if you operate a lot of 3-D applications such as high-end games or complex animation and design applications, the system's Trident CyberBlade graphics chipset with 32 MB of shared (not dedicated) memory is not sufficient. In this case, you may want to upgrade from the Trident or explore another Toshiba model.

Measuring 13.4 by 11.6 by 1.9 inches and weighing in at 7.9 pounds, the Satellite A25-S279 is a bit larger than average and may be too bulky for those who need their notebook with them on all their journeys. It is, however, packed with capable amenities. Toshiba has included an accommodating 60 GB hard disk, a full-size 85-key keyboard with hotkeys and dedicated CD controls, a generous 15-inch XGA TFT active-matrix display, and a convenient DVD/CD-RW drive through which you can burn and listen to audio CDs, archive files, and enjoy the latest Hollywood blockbusters. In its stock configuration, the unit does not permit DVD burning.

Connectivity options are solid. The system features three high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals, an S-Video TV-out jack, an RJ-11 modem port for dial-up communication, an RJ-45 LAN port for high-speed networking, and integrated 802.11g wireless support for those times when you just can't plug in. Bundled software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works and Intuit Quicken New User Edition 2003. Typical battery life is estimated at an adequate 2.41 hours.
