Amazon.com Product Description: Whether you're on the road or stopping off at a wi-fi coffee shop, work more productively with the Toshiba Satellite A75-S213 notebook PC. It features a brilliant 15.4-inch TruBrite screen and SRS TruSurround XT virtual surround sound capability--perfect for your multimedia presentation or a cinema-like experience when watching DVD movies. It also features a hyper-threaded Mobile Pentium 4 processor, 100 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (1.5 GB maximum), dual-layer, multi-format DVD burner, integrated 54g wireless connectivity with support for Atheros SuperG technology, and Windows XP Home edition.
The Basics - Hard Drive: The 100 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) is a above average in size for notebook PCs, and its capacity is a welcome size for such a multimedia-centric notebook.
- Processor: This notebook is powered by the 3.33 GHz, hyper-threaded Intel Mobile Pentium 4 processor 548 which rests close to the top of its class in terms of speed (as of June 2005). It provides near-desktop PC performance for your notebook and helps to conserve battery life. It has a 533 MHz front-side bus and 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)
A hyper-threading processor helps a PC to run multiple demanding applications at the same time. This technology enables the processor to execute two threads (a part of a program) in parallel, boosting performance during key high-drain procedures. This results in more efficient software performance (such as faster reaction times in gaming applications) and enhanced multitasking. - Memory: The installed 1024 MB of RAM (2 x 256 MB, PC2700, 333 MHz DDR SDRAM) will help you power through multimedia presentation and heavy-duty spreadsheets. It has 512 MB of onboard memory with just one available memory slot, occupied with a 512 MB module. You can upgrade this machine to a maximum of 1.5 GB (1 x 512 MB, 1 x 1024 MB).
- CD/DVD 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 DVD+R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data--great for backing up your MP3 collection. It features the following speeds: 2.4x DVD+R-DL, 8x/4x for both DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW, and 24x/10x for CD-R/RW.
- Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 86-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad. It also provides CD control buttons (play, stop, skip backward, skip forward).
Screen, Graphics and Sound The A75-S213 has a 15.4-inch XGA display w with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. It also provides TruBrite technology, which makes images brighter and more vivid thanks to its anti-glare feature. Video and graphics are powered by the ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP card, which delivers strong 3D rendering and shares 128 MB of memory with the processor's RAM memory. The integrated audio card (Realtek ALC250) provides 16-bit stereo sound via the built-in stereo speakers as well as SRS TruSurround XT virtual surround sound.
Connectivity and Expansion Slots The A75-S213 has an integrated Atheros 802.11b/g wireless-LAN that supports Atheros SuperG technology, which uses packet-bursting, fast frames, on-the-fly data compression/decompression, and dual-channel bonding to enhance throughput to double that of 802.11g. You get a good offering of connectivity options, including both super-fast USB 2.0 and Firewire options: - 3 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
