News: Toshiba Blasts Satellites Into Orbit

Toshiba recently launched two new models in its Satellite line, both of which are designed to be desktop replacements and feature large hard drives and fast chips.

The 5105 starts at $2299. Toshiba's other new entry, the Satellite 1905, which starts at $1899, is a more staid affair. Designed as a desktop replacement, the notebook has a 2-GHz Pentium 4 chip, a 40GB hard drive, a 15-inch screen, and a combination DVD/CD-RW drive.
