Toshiba Announces Satellite P205, Company's First Sub $1,000 Notebook with 17-Inch Screen
IRVINE, Calif.-(Business Wire)-April 15, 2007 - Toshiba's Digital Product Division (DPD), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., today announced the 17-inch Satellite(R) P205, a notebook computer line that comes standard with Labelflash(TM), an innovative technology for laser inscribing labels onto recordable DVD-R media, and a built-in webcam for video conferencing with a starting price of less than $1,000. Toshiba also offers select models featuring Intel's new Wireless Wi-Fi(R) Link 4965AGN supporting draft 802.11n(1) wireless connectivity.
"This a beautiful product inside and out," said Jeff Barney, vice president of marketing, Digital Products Division, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. "The 17-inch Satellite P205 provides a user experience that is unrivaled in its class; not only is this product stunningly beautiful, it has the power to entertain, be used to communicate with distant family, and produce DVD labels with professional precision at the attractive sub $1,000 price point."
New to the Satellite P205 is Labelflash(TM) technology, which is a unique fusion of software and hardware that harnesses the power of the optical drive laser. Using special Labelflash DVD-R discs users can burn both high-quality images and text labels onto compatible media, resulting in stunning near-professional quality labels that add the finishing touch to a home movie or any other project of your choosing. While Labelflash is presently a DVD-R compatible technology, the built-in DVD SuperMulti drive can also read and write data in all major optical formats, including double layer media.
The Satellite P205 is an Onyx Blue Metallic notebook, with a slightly rounded body-contour, a Windows Vista compliant keyboard with greater key spacing, and a wider mouse touchpad. These subtle features produce an elegant machine that provides the comfort of use of a desktop computer.
The Satellite P205 series is available at a variety of major consumer electronics and computer stores nationwide with a starting estimated single unit price (ESUP) of $999.99(2) for the Satellite P205-S6237. For a higher price, both the Satellite P205-S6267 and Satellite P205-6257 support the draft 802.11n wireless protocol with transfer speeds up to five times(3) faster than the previous 802.11g standard.
