Amazon.com Product Description
The Toshiba Satellite A45-S150 is an entry level notebook that will appeal to students, families, and small businesses who crave mobility. The A45-S150 resides in the middle of Toshiba's Satellite A45 lineup, and it features a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor, 60 GB hard drive, 512 MB installed RAM, a 54g wireless LAN, 15-inch TFT display, and a DVD player/CD writer combo drive. Stepping up to the next level with the A45-S250 adds an even faster Pentium 4 processor and a DVD writer.

The Basics

Hard Drive: Though not world-beating in size, the 60 GB enhanced-IDE hard drive (4200 RPM) offers more than enough storage capacity for road warriors.
Processor: The 2.4 GHz Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor offers enough speed for your work today, but it is in the middle level of processor speeds. Thanks to its Mobile features, the processor can save power when it's not needed, thus conserving battery life. It also has a 512 KB L2 cache and a 533 MHz FSB (front-side bus).
Memory: The A45-S150 comes with a 512 MB built-in memory (2 x 256 MB DDR SDRAM, 266 MHz)--a good start for power users--with a maximum memory expansion up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB). It has two slots that can be expanded to 2 GB (2048 MB).
CD/DVD Drive: It comes equipped with a combo DVD/CD-RW drive, which enables you to play DVD-ROM discs and DVD movies as well as burn data and record music to CD discs. The CD writer has the following speeds: 24x write/10x rewrite/24x read.
Keyboard & Mouse: The A45-S150 has an 85-key keyboard with 12 function keys and a two-button touchpad.

Sound and Graphics
It features an integrated Intel 852GME graphics controller with 32 MB of shared video memory. The 15-inch TFT active matrix display has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 and supports up to 16 million colors. The integrated audio card provides good sound while keeping the cost of this package down; the A45-S150 has two internal speakers.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The A45-S150 offers a decent amount of connectivity options--including 54g wireless:

4 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
1 parallel port for connecting older printers and scanners
1 RGB monitor port
1 PCMCIA (or PC Card) slot (Type II)
1 TV-out (S-Video)
1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack

It also has an integrated 802.11g wireless LAN (which is compatible with the more widespread 802.11b and offers faster data transmission rates), integrated 56K modem (V.92), and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Preloaded System and Software
The A45-S150 comes with the Windows XP Home Edition operating system, and it also features Microsoft Works (for working with word processing and spreadsheet documents). Other preloaded software includes Norton Antivirus 2003 (with 90 days of complimentary live updates), Quicken New User Edition 2004, and ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 1.3.

Dimensions and Weight
Definitely not the smallest on the block, the A45-S150 notebook measures 13.2 x 11.7 x 1.9 inches (L x W x H) and weighs a comfortable 7.7 pounds.

Power
The included rechargeable lithium-ion battery has 12 cells (which refers to the number of charge-storing components within the battery) and offers a standard amount of power for a notebook PC (around 2.9 hours of typical use).

What's in the Box
This package includes the Toshiba Satellite A45-S150 notebook PC, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, and operating instructions.
