Review
The screen resolution is excellent, the memory and hard drive are substantial for the price and the workmanship and features are good. I have previously owned a Toshiba Satellite M30X-S171ST laptop and this notebook is a significant upgrade. I especially like the Supermulti DVD drive with Labelflash that works with 11 formats, and the wireless draft-N standard which will permit much higher wireless speeds. I use my laptop primarily when I travel to keep in touch with news, weather, market reports and occasionally for some business. I have noticed the Windows Vista Premium installed does have a few delays and this could also be attributed to the 4200 speed for the hard drive, but for my purposes this is an excellent laptop. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a desktop replacement with a 17 inch widescreen, while realizing this will incur some additional weight. There are two other members in the Toshiba P205 family with different tweaks and features that may interest others, but this one is fine for me.
