Toshiba Satellite P105-S6024 Laptop Review

CNET has reviewed the Toshiba Satellite P105-S6024 "Media Center" laptop. 'Though it's based on Toshiba's midsize Satellite M65, the Satellite P105's 7.8-pound weight places it firmly in the desktop replacement category. Still, it's lighter than most desktop replacements, including the 8.8-pound Dell XPS M1710 and the 8.4-pound Gateway M685 (whose case is identical to that of the NX850XL). It's also sleeker, measuring 15.5 inches wide and 10.6 inches deep and ranging in thickness from slightly more than an inch at the front to 1.7 inches at the back. With its sizeable AC adapter, the laptop weighs 9.2 pounds--unfit for regular travel but manageable for moving from room to room.

While its gaming-oriented sibling has cool blue LEDs that glow from beneath the speakers and inside the vents, the Satellite P105-S6024 sticks with a subdued gray-and-silver case that could easily fit in at the workplace. But the laptop's rounded edges belie its intended appeal to home users, as does the reflective coating on its bright, 17-inch wide-aspect display. The screen's 1,440x900 ( WXGA) native resolution gives it much less screen real estate than the much finer resolution found on the Dell XPS M1710; we wish Toshiba would up the resolution on this display and that of the Qosmio G35-AV600'
