The Basics
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:
With the Labelflash functionality, you can burn high-resolution, high-contrast pictures on the label side of DVD discs using the same laser used for data recording. Enjoy transparency and high-quality not found in traditional printable media. All you need is a Labelflash DVD disc to start labeling without a printer.
Screen, Video & Audio
This notebook has a 17-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels (native 720p for high-definition viewing). It also provides TruBrite technology, which makes images brighter and more vivid thanks to its anti-glare feature. Video is powered by the Nvidia SLI Dual GeForce 8600M graphics card, which provides up to 767 MB of available RAM/video memory (512 MB dedicated DDR3 RAM) for unmatched HD video performance on a notebook PC. (GDDR3, short for Graphics Double Data Rate, version 3, is a graphics card-specific memory technology that's better able to deliver fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications.) With support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 and High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), it lets you rip through all of today's most advanced and cutting-edge games and applications. Experience real-time photo editing, or immerse yourself in the most complex, true-to-life gaming environments.

It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments).

Customer Reviews
Great Desktop Replacement
I have had mine for about a year and have used it just like a desktop. It can handle all of the heavy stuff and a great gamer too.
The first thing I noticed about X205-SLI5 is that it is made like a tank, just the way I like it. So far this thing has been the best laptop that I have used.
I love the fact that it has two hard drives for easy back ups, and that you can easily upgrade. I just replaced the 150 gb primary drive with a 320 gb and it works fine. My next step is to take the memory from 3gb 677mhz to 4gb 800 mhz, since the motherboard is 800mhz.
The only downside is the lack of battery life. I originaly thought this would be a problem, and have found that it was not. I have always been able to find an outlet.
A great all around performer, with many of the same connections and options you will find in a desktop.
Hope you like buying batteries
I've bought two Satellite laptops, and both have had their batteries fail within two years. One of them won't keep a charge for more than a few minutes, and sometimes powers off when you disconnect the AC power; the other sometimes just shuts down at the slightest movement. When we called the tech support, they didn't mention that the batteries were subject to recall; now I just found out, and Toshiba won't process the recall. I don't know if the problems are battery related, since it'll cost $500 to have Toshiba diagnose the problem. That's right, FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS once it's out of warranty.
The screen on the newer laptop - just two years old - has gone funky, with some horizontal lines.
They both run somewhat warm, with the fan going nonstop.
As you can tell, these are my last Toshiba laptop purchases. It's great value for the first year, so enjoy!
Great Computer
This laptop is good for its price level This thing has worked well for me since I bought it 3-4 months ago, although not from amazon.(I got it for $1250 after looking a bit)
Pros:
Its got plenty of memory.
Processor speed is good, while 2ghz is not the best out there, having 2 of them makes up for this.
Great videocard, the video card in this thing is petty good.
Plenty of ram; it can support up to 4gb of ram but only has 3 istalled which should be plenty for most people.
Good screen size
Cons:
It says 320gb total for two hard drives, however mine say they are only about 150(oddly enough) each instead of the promised 160, this is only a minor annoyance to me really.
Heavy, another minor annoyance, I dont carry this everywhere so it doesnt bother me too much; this is really a desktop replacement though.
Keyboard took some getting used to.
Now, the only major thing here is lack of battery life, at mabe an hour to a couple hours depending on what your doing this thing will not be far from the wall for long, but like I said this is really supposed to be a desktop replacement.
Overall, if you need a laptop to replace a desktop then this would definitly be for you, I find its a good computer and can run anything I use, the games Dawn of War and Rome Total War will run very well on it with graphics most of the way up. I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 mainly due to battery life.
