Toshiba Satellite A500-11U multitude Notebook
Although this machine is not particularly cheap, clutching only 50 pounds below the barrier of £ 1000, it provides high processing power and a multitude of features for the money. Topping things is the Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 processor, which double heart running at a brisk 2.53 MHz, on a front-side bus 1066 with 3 MB L2 cache. This is a good start, but Toshiba cuts a few corners by coupling it with slower DDR2 800MHz RAM and although it provides 4 GB of the stuff, the 32-bit install of Windows Vista can not address this. For those interested, if you decide to buy this system, Toshiba will send you a disc 7 upgrade of Windows to update £ 27.90 inc. VAT.
If the lack of Toshiba’s 64-bit is a little frustrating, at least it repairing bridges with the rest of the specification. A hard disk of 500 GB should be sufficient for all but the most voracious media monopolists – just as well given there is also a hybrid digital and analog TV tuner on board. Particularly impressive, too, discrete graphics, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD4650 with 1GB of dedicated memory. Draft-N Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR be a comprehensive support network as well.
It’s just a shame Toshiba, which now encompasses all things Blu-ray, failed to shake a spinner of HD in the sub-£ 1,000 price tag. This deception is made more acute by the presence of a backlit keyboard. Wonderful as they might be, it feels a little “me too” and given the choice between Blu-ray or a backlit keyboard, Blu-ray will be the winner in our eyes. In truth, however, it is pedantry since you can run things in several ways, such as the use of slower components to offset the cost. If it’s Blu-ray you’re after, then you should look at the Toshiba Qosmio line, which will soon be updated with Blu-ray and Windows 7. [via trustedreviews]
