What You Should Know about the Satellite P105-S921 Notebook (1.83GHz Core Duo, 1GB DDR2, 160GB, DVD?RW DL, Windows XP Pro, 17

Not Much RAM for Multitasking

The more RAM your laptop has, the faster programs will run and the greater number of windows you can work in at one time. If your needs are simple and you rarely do more than two things at once on your PC, the relatively modest amount of memory that comes installed in inexpensive laptops will be enough. Today the standard amount of RAM shipped in most PCs is 2GB. If you like to multitask--say, you want to launch a search for a file and start backing up data to a disc while you watch a news video--you need more memory.

Strengths: Good gaming machine.Nice sounding Harman Kardon speakers.Beautiful chassis desgn.Intel core duo Centrino CPU rocks!Totally gorgeous 17" display.

Weaknesses: NONE!

Overall Evaluation: I just absolutely love my Toshiba Satellite PRO P100 Media capable laptop.The specifications for my model are 100GB hard drive.Had the memory upgraded to 1.50 GB of ram.The CPU is 1.83GHZ.Internal video card is a NVIDIA GEFORCE GO 7300 with 128mb of video memory.Do not have the remote control and Dual Pad.This does not bother me as all the other features compensate.I am not a hard core gamer.Actually gaming on laptop is a new experience for me.Quite impressed with its game functionality at the moment.Have watched some DVD movies on it which looked quite sensational.Manipulating software or Internet browsing on this lappy is just incredibly easy.You just have to love that stunning 17" display with its superb resolution.My TOSHIBA has the "Designed for Windows XP.Windows Vista Capable" decal on it.To summarise this model laptop provides exactly what i need.WIN XP Professional.Large elegant display.The aesthetics can not be faulted.Specifications are acceptable.Plenty of functionality.COOL BANANAS! WHY? Because the TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO P100 ROCKS! For anyone who is considering purchasing a laptop that has style, specifications and performs well then this multi media beauty is exactly what you need.

Strengths: price, gaming, loaded with everything!

Weaknesses: none....well, could have put 2 hard drives in , LOL

Overall Evaluation: I have the upgraded model p100 st9212, faster hard drive, blue tooth, etc........who would have "thunk" Toshiba, would first of all join the gaming ranks, and do it so well. They listened and are still listening to customers for the s921 was new, they discontinue it, and try to add onto a already viable fast system. Only down side, 1, Toshiba is the only one that sells the st9212......so not many people know about it, trust me I got it from a link that was posted at a laptop forum. The st9212 actually sells for $1899, $100 less then the s921, which in the long run, when people start to carry it the price of course will drop. Then the value is more then awesome. If your curious, testing with sisoftware sandra suite rates the t2400 processor a step above the amd64 3800x2 and just shy of the amd64 4000x2, I am an amd fan trust me but this rocks....the graphics card when using 3d mark03 to test it just falls shy of 14000, I still have to use 3d mark05 and 06, but this system again is stunning, at the very least....I was buying an alienware system, but I saved myself a bundle and got a ton of stuff....I am very happy! Hope this helps someone, there wasnt alot of reviews out there for my shopping of said item.
