This notebook has a 14-inch LED-backlit display with a resolution of
1366 x 768 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 Intel
Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, which uses shared video memory (up
to 1759 MB allocated from the system memory). This graphics card is
built with Intel Clear Video technology, which delivers clearer, more
detailed images by eliminating many of the jagged edges and video
artifacts seen when viewing interlaced content and features powerful
color control to ensure videos are not too dark, overly bright, or
washed out. It's compatible with external monitor resolutions up to
1920 x 1200.
While the highly portable nature of mini-notebooks exposes them to the
knocks and bumps that are an inevitable feature of life on the move,
the Toshiba A505 features a 3D-accelerometer monitoring system that
detects freefalls, shocks and vibrations and protects the integrated
HDD to secure against the loss of any personal data.
Experience improved energy efficiency, expanded wireless connectivity,
and amazing battery life with the 45nm Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 processor
featuring Intel Centrino 2 technology. This processor has a 2.0 GHz
processor speed, super-sized 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and a
extra-large 3 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily
stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's
performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster
front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.) Formerly
codenamed Montevina, Intel Centrino 2 processor technology improves
upon every facet of a laptop's main features, including performance and
battery life via new processors and chipsets, faster draft 802.11n
wireless, and new business-class manageability capabilities. The new
hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in
transistors--conserves even more energy, giving you more time away from
the wall outlet.
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 it can 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.
This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and
DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD±R discs, which can
store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following read/write speeds:
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.
A 1.3 megapixel digital web camera built into the LCD's bezel lets you
quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats. The integrated
webcam does more than just video chats. It includes Toshiba Face
Recognition capabilities--the ultimate hands-free, hassle-free way to
log onto your laptop. Just show your face to the webcam--no keeping
track of hard-to-remember passwords and no unnecessary typing. And if
you're using one laptop for several users--say for the whole family or
for a small business--Toshiba Face Recognition lets you switch profiles
with one simple look.
This Toshiba Satellite laptop makes a real statement about your
personal style the moment you walk in a room, thanks to Fusion finish
with finely striped Sonic design pattern. Run your fingertips across
the smooth, shiny palm rest of the Satellite laptop and what do you
encounter? Nary a bump. That's because the touchpad is recessed to give
your notebook a more streamlined look, and to give you more comfort
when you're clicking or going crazy with that cursor. Additionally,
separate multimedia buttons let you launch your favorite entertainment
right away. But with their unique feather-touch operation these
controls do that and more--allowing you to effortlessly start, pause,
fast-forward and rewind.
