Description: The Toshiba Satellite P105-S6177 is a 7.1-pound, consumer level notebook computer.Compared to other consumer level notebooks on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $1,080.The 17 inch widescreen has a native resolution of 1440 x 900, which is better than most notebooks.Runs on the Intel Core Duo chip.This notebook comes with a 120GB hard disk and 2 GB of RAM.Features integrated graphics with 8MB of video memory.

Pros: Comes with Microsoft Windows Vista Home premium and Microsoft Windows Vista OS, which is considerably more favorable than some similarly priced notebooks.

Cons: Has only 8MB of video RAM, which is less favorable than some similarly priced notebooks.For example, the Asus N50Vn, a 6.6-pound notebook at around $1, 000, has 1GB of video RAM.Also, this notebook has a modest 1.73 GHz CPU speed, which is somewhat slower than some similarly priced notebooks.For example, the Dell Latitude, a -pound notebook at around $1, 010, has a 2.66 GHz CPU speed.The fair battery performance of this laptop means it has to be recharged more frequently than other notebooks in its class.Shared video memory has an adverse effect on system performance which may be okay for users with more modest graphics needs.Users with more demanding needs should look to a graphics solution that brings its own muscle.

Suitability: Suited for those who just need a basic notebook.If you have a wireless network at home, wirelessly browse the Web from any room in your house with this Wi-Fi enabled notebook.Comes with a DVD writer, allowing you to convert home movies from your digital Handycam onto DVDs.An anti-theft security tether can be fastened into the built-in lock slot.

Value: In general, this notebook's features seem a bit weak, even for its relatively inexpensive price.However, if you were to judge strictly by how large the screen is, the average price of general-purpose products with a similar screen size is quite a bit more -- right around $1,457.

Suggestions: (1) Given this device's Wi-Fi capability, you may want to get a wireless access point for your home, so that you can browse the Internet more conveniently from any room.(2) Using this PC's Firewire (1394) port, you can connect to many digital video camcorders and other equipment to rapidly upload data to the notebook hard drive.
