toshiba satellite notebook

I?ve been very happy with my Toshiba Satellite notebook. I?ve been using Toshiba Satellite?s now for a number of years and have never had any problems with any of them. Today I?m using the Toshiba Satellite M35-S320, which came out a couple of years ago. It?s already completely obsolete of course, and if you could still find it for sale new in any actual store I?d be surprised. Of course, you can still order it online for about a grand. My Toshiba Satellite notebook may be more or less obsolete now, but it?s still a great laptop and meets all of my needs. ?Obsolete? in the computer world doesn?t mean useless, it just means that there are a lot of newer models available. M-35 has a 60GB hard drive, 512MB of RAM memory, and a Pentium-M 1.5 GHz processor.

It also comes with a combined DVD-ROM/CD-RW unit, a 32MB NVIDIA Geforce FX Go5200 graphics card, a 15.4 inch TFT screen, and of course a wireless modem and network card. These are still pretty decent specifications for a laptop notebook today. The Toshiba Satellite notebook is so named because of its wireless network ability. It was something of a novelty when the first Toshiba Satellites came out, and was considered state of the art. Now, of course, most laptops you buy have built in wireless networking ability. Still, the Toshiba Satellite ranks amongst the most popularly used notebooks for on the go internet access. They are all able to go online right out of the box, as long as you have an accessible network nearby. Toshiba Satellite notebooks can also handle fairly robust entertainment features, such as movies and computer games.

They usually have good graphics cards, fast processors and plenty of RAM memory, by which they are able to handle even most current games and can play movies with excellent visual quality. One of the most frequent uses for my Toshiba Satellite notebook has been as a game platform and as a way to watch movies in remote areas, such as the jungle of cubicles which I used to work in. The ?M? series of Toshiba Satellite notebooks is now up to the M-65, which is one of their newest satellite notebooks available as of the beginning of 2006. The M-65 is a very impressive notebook; it has an even larger hard drive, a faster processor and better graphics card. It seems to be marketed with a focus on its graphical power even though it retains the satellite name, and is just as qualified for accessing the web as its predecessors. My only complaint with the Toshiba Satellite series has been the sound quality. My M-35 is lacking in this department, but you can pick up a set of speakers that will boost sound quality with a little extra cost.
