The Toshiba Satellite A100-SK9 Notebook PC is proof that the cutting edge of computing technology isn't just deskbound. Easily mobile at just 6 pounds, the A100 gets top marks by using the Intel Core Duo T2300 CPU running at 1.66Ghz with 2mb L2 Cache and a 667 Front Side Bus (FSB). This dual core chip excels at everything you are likely to throw at it. A primary advantage of CPUs with two cores comes from their ability to handle two or even more multiple tasks simultaneously. This means that while one processing unit might be busy with conducting a virus scan, for example, the second unit will still be available to handle other tasks like play videos and rip music files or edit spreadsheets. User will experience improved gaming and multitasking performance and a more efficient power consumption. To insures that the A100 will be able to keep up with the T2300's multitasking ability, 1GB of DDR2 533MHz in dual-channel mode matches the CPU's front side bus speed and avoids bottlenecks.



The A100 series features a 15.4-inch TFT widescreen with 1280 x 800-pixel resolution. It also features TruBrite technology -the latest in LCD screen technology commonly known in the industry as Anti-Reflective.

It is not only superb for playing DVD and computer games, but also good for presentation to client and deskwork, giving users excellent experience on both digital entertainment and productivity.

Toshiba has generously included a mobile video chips in the A100. Graphics memory is used to accelerate how quickly information is displayed on your notebook screen or external monitor and to improve the overall visual quality of games, movies and other entertainment activities. Discrete graphics utilize a graphics processing unit (GPU) that is separate (or discrete) from the system’s processor and also use a separate graphics memory. Because this solution does not burden the CPU and system memory, overall system performance is likely to be significantly better with discrete graphics when running applications that use complex images..
