Mid-size laptop: The Toshiba Satellite A205-S5831 is a mid-size laptop, with above-average processing power and everything most people need for basic computing, entertainment and online communication. This model features a powerful dual-core processor as well as premium features such as a DVD SuperMulti drive and Windows Vista Home Premium.

Dual core/64-bit processing: The 1.73GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core T2370 processor has two processing engines that work in tandem, providing much more power than traditional 1.73GHz single-core models.

• This laptop features 1GB of DDR2 system memory—more than enough to handle everyday computing needs. DDR2 is slightly faster than DDR, the previous standard in system memory.

• Data travels to the processor along the frontside bus. The faster data travels, the faster everything works. This laptop features a 533MHz frontside bus.

• Processors search for the same data over and over. L2 caches keep this data neat, organized, and nearby so it can be retrieved more quickly. This 1MB cache gives the processor a little boost.

 

Hard drive: This hard drive features a 160GB capacity—more than enough storage space for the average user. This drive’s data disks spin at 5400rpm. The faster they spin, the faster the data is read and written.

Go wireless: Built-in 802.11g wireless LAN gives you a fast connection to a wide range of networks and peripherals. 802.11g is backwards-compatible with 802.11b, so you can connect using the two most popular wireless standards.

DVD SuperMulti drive: Use this drive to burn DVDs and CDs to share your files, music mixes or home movies. You can even burn DVD-RAM discs—specially-formatted discs that let you drag and drop, or write and rewrite your files up to 100,000 times.

Widescreen display: This laptop features a bright 15.4" high-definition widescreen display with 1280 x 800 pixel (WXGA) resolution. Your documents and movies will look fantastic.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit): Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for homes with advanced computer needs. And Vista Premium features the elegant new Aero interface. You’ll be able to use your laptop more effectively and enjoy new entertainment experiences—all with the benefit of added security and reliability.

Video memory: This laptop features Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 and 256MB of total shared video memory, which is drawn from the main system memory. This video memory is perfect for everyday activities like casual movie watching or gaming.

Media card reader: Seamlessly transfer images from your digital camera or camcorder. This 5-in-1 reader is compatible with Secure Digital, xD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and MultiMedia Card.
