The Basics
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:
It also includes 1 GB of Intel Turbo Memory, which stores frequently used information near the processor, where it's more quickly available, enabling your notebook to actually learn your habits and thus provide better system response. This entirely new system innovation for Windows Vista PCs is based on Performance Intel NAND Flash Memory (like the memory used in an iPod or USB thumb drive), together with supporting software.
Screen, Video & Audio
This notebook has a 17-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels (native 720p for high-definition viewing). It also provides TruBrite technology, which makes images brighter and more vivid thanks to its anti-glare feature. Video is powered by the Nvidia GeForce 8700M graphics card, which provides up to 767 MB of available RAM/video memory (256 MB dedicated DDR3 RAM) for unmatched HD video performance on a notebook PC. (GDDR3 (Graphics Double Data Rate, version 3) is a graphics card-specific memory technology that's better able to deliver fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications.) With support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 and High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), it lets you rip through all of today's most advanced and cutting-edge games and applications. Experience real-time photo editing, or immerse yourself in the most complex, true-to-life gaming environments.
It includes the Dolby Home Theater set of features, which provide up to 5.1 discrete channels of crystal-clear digital surround sound as well as virtual 5.1-channel surround sound experience from any pair of stereo speakers. It also features four stylishly incorporated Harman Kardon stereo speakers with a built-in subwoofer.
Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with this notebook's integrated quad-mode Wi-Fi chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and Wi-Fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). You'll enjoy wireless connectivity to a wide range of peripherals with the built-in Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR (enhanced data rate), which offers up to three times the bandwidth of standard Bluetooth.
It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (as well as a standard PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. You get a good offering of connectivity options:
It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).
Operating System

Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.
Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail.

Customer Reviews
Great if you like buying batteries
I've bought two Satellite laptops, and both have had their batteries fail within two years. One of them won't keep a charge for more than a few minutes, and sometimes powers off when you disconnect the AC power; the other sometimes just shuts down at the slightest movement. When we called the tech support, they didn't mention that the batteries were subject to recall; now I just found out, and Toshiba won't process the recall. I don't know if the problems are battery related, since it'll cost $500 to have Toshiba diagnose the problem. That's right, FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS once it's out of warranty.
The screen on the newer laptop - just two years old - has gone funky, with some horizontal lines.
They both run somewhat warm, with the fan going nonstop.
As you can tell, these are my last Toshiba laptop purchases. It's great value for the first year, so enjoy!
Personally Didnt like this laptop!
I bought this system back arround December of last year(2007). It was an ok system at the beginning. There were multiple reasons why I didnt like this system. I noticed on the system when I bought it, says Battle Ready Game Enabled Ghost Recon 2 (a pc game). But after installing the game, it said the cpu wasnt compatable(that it was slower than recommended). Second arround Jan 2008, the system started having problems. I took it to a toshiba authorized repair center and they replaced both hard drives, the motherboard for graphic card problem and something else that had to do with the motherboard. And they replaced the network card on the motherboard(it connects to the motherboard). Then I moved arround the end of Jan 2008. Then I started having more problems again with the hard drive. So I sent it in direct to toshiba for repair. They replaced both hard drives 2 times for both. And when I got my laptop back the side where the pci slot on the top cover assy was broken off. And there is some white paper hanging out of the bottom left lcd display.
Ive used a apple, and sony laptop before and Ive never had this much trouble with a system before. I also am a laptop and desktop tech, and Ive never seen any laptop with this much trouble. And I still am having lots of trouble with this system. I plan to just sell it and get a sony or dell.
Just wanted to give this review and let anyone know before they make there decision.
TOSHIBA X205 laptops
I strongly don't recommend this laptop for those who wish to buy this kind.
I am very disappointed with it's performance particularly with it's HD-DVD drive. I have not been using frequently the drive but after a year and a month it just totally non-functional. And Toshiba service center refused to offer warranty and they are charging me 500 US dollars for the drive including service fee. I think this product line did not meet my expectation when it comes to reliability,quality and performance wise. Beware of this notebook PC quality you will just be upset in buying this product. I am really frustrated in buying this laptop.
