Amazon.com Product Description

Replace your desktop PC with the Toshiba Satellite P105-S9337 laptop, featuring all the power and hard drive space you expect from a top-of-the-line desktop but in an easily mobile package. It's powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which offers a 20 percent performance boost over its predecessor while using 28 percent less power--so you get the benefit of a powerful dual-core PC plus all the benefits of mobility. The dual-execution core T7200 Core 2 Duo processor provides an optimized, multi-threaded architecture for improved gaming and multi-tasking performance, and it features a 2.0 GHz speed, lightning quick 667 MHz system bus, and massive 4 MB L2 cache.

The 200 GB hard drive offers comfortable storage space for all your work as well as a large digital multimedia library. You'll enjoy fantastic DVD playback and immersive graphics thanks to the 17-inch TruBrite display and top-of-the-line Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 graphics card with an amazing 256 MB of dedicated video RAM (GDDR3). It's also great for using as a media center, with Toshiba's unique Express Media Player enabling you to bypass the system and access CDs and DVDs with a touch of button. It comes with a DVi-D video output, enabling you to connect to a high-definition TV, and built-in Harman Kardon speakers that can produce enveloping virtual surround sound. Other features include 2 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum), tri-mode 802.11a/b/g wi-fi connectivity, Bluetooth wireless capability, Gigabit Ethernet, multi-format memory card reader, and fingerprint reader for added security.

It comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics
<ul>

Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 processor has a 2.0 GHz processor speed, super-fast 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and an enormous 4 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include: <ul>

Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.

Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.

Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.

Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.</ul>

Hard Drive: You'll be able to store large libraries of digital audio, video, and photos on the 200 GB hard drive (4200 RPM)--one of the largest hard drive capacities you'll find currently in multimedia notebooks (January 2007). This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.

Memory: The 2 GB of built-in memory (PC5300, DDR2 SDRAM) is a very good start for power users, and it offers a top-of-class 667 MHz speed. It has two memory slots, enabling you to add up to 4 GB of RAM for smooth DVD playback and 3-D gaming. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.

DVD/CD Drive: The double-layer DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats, including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data--great for backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It features the following speeds: 2.4x DVD+R DL, 2x DVD-R DL, 8x for both single-layer DVD+R/-R, 4x DVD+RW, 4x DVD-RW, 5x DVD-RAM, and 24x/10x for CD-R/RW. It reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.

Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 103-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad. It also offers a launch button for the Express CD/DVD media player and control buttons (play, stop, next, previous) as well as a volume control dial. </ul> Screen, Video & Audio
This laptop has a 17-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels. It also provides TruBrite technology, which makes images brighter and more vivid thanks to its anti-glare feature. Video is powered by the Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 graphics/video card, which includes 256 MB of dedicated video GDDR3 RAM for uninterrupted, immersive 3-D gaming. (GDDR3 (Graphics Double Data Rate, version 3) is a graphics card-specific memory technology that's better able to deliver fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications.) It features NVidia's PureVideo technology--which provides great picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for video content--and full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for stunningly realistic cinematic effects for all DirectX-compatible applications. You'll enjoy crisp sound via the built-in Harman Kardon stereo speakers, and it has standard headphone and microphone jacks as well as a digital audio output.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
This Toshiba Satellite has an integrated tri-mode Intel 3945ABG wireless LAN, which is compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (in addition to a standard PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. The Bluetooth wireless connectivity enables you to synchronize and transfer files between the PC and peripherals such as cell phones and PDAs as well as use Bluetooth-enabled headsets for online audio chats. You get a good offering of connectivity options: <ul>

4 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players

1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals

1 VGA monitor port

1 S-Video out

1 PCMCIA (or PC Card) slot (Type II, PCMCIA R2.01, PC Card16, CardBus)

1 ExpressCard/54 Slot (also supports ExpressCard/34)

5-in-1 memory card reader (Secure Digital, MultiMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD Picture Card)

1 headphone jack, 1 microphone jack

1 S/PDIF digital audio output (for connecting to a home theater receiver) </ul> It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.92) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

Operating System
Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect to your favorite WiFi hotspot.

BEWARE of Toshiba's entire P105 line.......2007-06-01

Toshiba won't tell you two CRITICAL facts about their P105 line of computers:

1. It has a NONSTANDARD KEYBOARD LAYOUT, and you probably won't realize this fact until you actually see it and use it because, to my knowledge, all their product descriptions fail to mention it. People who are proficient with a standard keyboard layout will probably not like this keyboard. The right shift key has virtually disappeared relative to a standard keyboard, and the arrow keys are very awkwardly placed. This will slow down your typing speed considerably, at least until you 'relearn' typing to accommodate these handicaps.

2. Although Toshiba's own website admits that silicone keyboard protectors are "must-have protection" for a notebook computer (and they ARE essential), you can't buy one for a P105 from Toshiba - OR FROM ANYONE ELSE to the best of my knowledge (and I've spent hours looking). This means that a single drop of water spilled on the keyboard can ruin it, resulting in the need for a very costly repair. Toshiba even went so far as to have at least one sample keyboard protector made for the P105 line but they failed to have any made available to customers.

I have done battle with Toshiba over this obvious problem, which required the writing of several letters and the filing of a Better Business Bureau complaint. Toshiba to this day fails to believe any problem exists. I had always been a huge fan of Toshiba products (including computers) until I bought a P105.

Other problems: the 'Super-Multi' DVD drive failed to read ANY form of blank media and had to be replaced. A bit of web research revealed this to be a problem that wasn't at all isolated. By the time I realized the DVD drive couldn't be used to record data, I had lots of data that needed to be backed up somehow before taking the unit in for repairs... without a working disk drive backups are very problematic. Finally, for some reason my P105 frequently stalls out during web browsing and no one can figure out why... it has done this since it was brand-new. My previous Toshiba notebook computer had none of these problems (although a Toshiba DVR I own also had a faulty DVD drive).

Toshiba Satellite P105-S9337 17" Notebook .......2007-05-24

This computer was beyond expectations. It works very well for what I needed.

It's a Keeper.......2007-05-22

Let me start by saying this is my third Toshiba laptop. Nuff said. As a working journalist and screenwriter I put mine through daily paces that the average user will never see.
This is the first laptop I have actually modified and with great results. *more on this later.

The stock system starts with a huge 17 inch screen with adjustable brightness. While not as overall bright as my previous, M35-S456 15.4" laptop, this is bright enough with a very warm feeling to it.

The Intel duo-core processers (yup, there are 2 processors doing duty) is lightening fast. The huge 200 Gig hard drive is suitable for the masses but I wanted a faster spinning HD which I got. I swapped out the 4200 RPM stocker for a 5400 RPM 80 Gig HD. I plan on getting an adapter to put the stock 200 Gig HD in and use it as a USB external HD rather than clogging up my laptop with pics, vids and other such. Trying to keep only the writings on this one.

The machine comes stock with 2 GIG of very fast RAM and is adaptable to 4GIG if you really want to play high end video games and such. I am not going to upgrade for that since for what I need it for the machine is plenty quick already...besides, I dont want to spend 400-800 dollars for that.

The S9722 (and its variants) comes with a whopping 256 MEG of dedicated Nvidea GeForce video memory...thats more than enough to edit home movies and such or play all DVD videos without freezes or glitches. If you edit movies for a living or are an engineer using CAD-CAM programs you might want to get Toshiba's top of the line gaming laptop with over 500 MEGs of video memory.

The keyboard on the S9722 is full size and includes a number pad. I often get confused when I use the number pad and forget to turn it off, this renders the 'home' and 'end' keys useless. 3 or 4 other keys have been shrunk to make the number pad fit. I am not so sure if I would've wanted a number pad that badly but it does not get it then way when in use as a writer.

When I bought mine it came with Windows XP with a waiver for a free Vista upgrade when it became available. My upgrade went flawless and the machine is dream to use and look at now. MACs, eat your hearts out.
You will likely see this same computer with a different badging because if it comes with Vista to begin with it is technically a different model.

I bought mine at MicroCenter in Long Island for 1999.00 and with the added cost of the smaller faster HD of 55 for the unit and 70 for installation, and 30 for Operating System and file tranfsers from Geek Squad I am into the machine for unde 2200 dollars. Go price a Dell or Sony with all of these same features and come back to me.

*things to look out for: 1.) ALWAYS use a laptop cooler base with any laptop. I experience no heat related issues others have squawked about. 2.) Cnet, a good place to check stuff out, reported the sound on the Harmon Karden speaker could be louder. Yes, it will be louder if you look very closely and realize the plastic covering over the speakers is so well cut it looks like there is nothing there. Trust me, it is there. Peel it off and this computer is loud enough to hear almost anywhere in a house and definately anywhere in an even a large apartment. :-)
3.) There are a ton of "free Microsoft software" titles that will work for 60 days. Don't waste your time, it's like a drug dealer comping you stuff knowing that you will come back to pay premium later on. DELETE THEM right off the bat. Buy only what you need or fnd free versions online.

Happy shopping, hope this helps.

Fantastic computer !!!.......2007-05-16

I can't say any bad thing about this equipment. It surpassed my expectation.

WAIT!!.......2007-05-14

Let me just say first that this is a great laptop. It has a huge hard drive (slow, but huge), 2 gigs of ram, an awesome video card...all in an attractive, functional package. BUT there currently aren't Vistas compatible video drivers available for it. So if you plan to buy this for the 'ultimate gaming machine' label, then you will be sorely disappointed. I've had my laptop for about a month and haven't been able to play much more than solitaire [...]. Hopefully vistas drivers will be released soon and this problem will go away, but for now this laptop is a very expensive movie player/ word processor.
