Toshiba Introduces A 17"-Screen Laptop

Posted by timothy on from the antigravity-module-would-be-good dept.

George Wright writes "Toshiba have announced a monster of a laptop with their Satellite P25. Seems they've decided to copy Apple's idea of fitting a 17" LCD on a laptop, but have ended making a true aircraft carrier in doing so. Notable "features" are the 2.8GHz P4, the 802.11a/b and the 10lb weight (!!!). Still a relatively low resolution though :("

    17 inches of real estate is fantastic but only 1440x900 resolution is terrible. Why is it that Dell can put a 15.7 inch high resolution screen on their laptops and have the brain to use 64MB of video memory but Toshiba can't? Using 32MB of video memory is the biggest gaffe here IMO. On the bright side, perhaps this will prompt Dell to put out a 17" notebook.
