Description:
In many respects similar to Toshiba’s stunning P25 series of desktop replacement notebooks but sporting a lighter, more portable chassis, slightly downgraded components and a more affordable price point, the Satellite P15-S409 Notebook PC is a good solution for power-hungry business and personal users who can’t financially justify top-of-the-line gear. Those who can’t live without the benefits of a full-featured stationary PC will find plenty to like in the Satellite P15-S409 Notebook. For starters, Toshiba has fitted the unit with a sizeable 15.4-inch widescreen display screen capable of dazzling 1280 by 800 resolutions. It has added a spacious 60 GB hard disk spinning at a snappy 4200 RPM and enclosed a versatile DVD Multi Drive through which you can not only watch the latest Hollywood releases, but also burn your own home movies to DVD media. Moreover, the unit is blazingly fast. Driving the Satellite P15-S409 Notebook is a potent 2.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading Technology for more efficient CPU usage and a scorching 800 MHz processor system bus clock speed. Matched with this speedy CPU are a generous 512 MB allotment of PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to a full 2048 MB) and an NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5100 graphics chipset with 32 MB of dedicated video memory. Thusly, the system will handle most anything you can throw at it, including many 3-D games. Other critical features include an IEEE 1394 Fire Wire port for fast interaction with devices such as digital camcorders, a trio of high-speed USB 2.0 ports for plug and play peripherals such as scanners or external drives, two memory slots (both of which may be simultaneously occupied), a single PC Card slot, and an impressive variety of interior and exterior one-touch controls. Communication facilities include 802.11wireless networking, 10/100 Ethernet LAN and an integrated 56K modem. Unlike some of today’s super-efficient ultra-lightweight notebooks, the Satellite P15-S409 Notebook features just 2.28 hours maximum battery life.
