Toshiba Satellite A205-S6810 15.4" Laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 200 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium) Onyx Blue , from: Toshiba

Stylishly accented with an onyx blue metallic LCD cover, the Toshiba Satellite A205-S6810 notebook PC is a great blend of multitasking productivity, multimedia prowess, and efficiently powered portability. It features a large, bright 15.4-inch XGA-resolution LCD (1280 x 800)--perfect for viewing multiple application screens or watching widescreen movies on DVD. 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. The dual-layer DVD±RW drive also burns CDs.

This notebook is powered by the 1.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 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. It also includes a 200 GB hard drive, 3 GB of RAM (maximizing capacity), tri-mode Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11a/b/g), Intel GMA X3100 video card with up to 358 MB of shared video RAM, and 5-in-1 memory card reader.

This PC 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.
