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 :("

    This looks like a TiBook killer for sure.

    Except that Apple have discovered that no one is buying the 17" powerbook, since it is too large to carry around comfortably...

    The PowerBook DOES have a keypad. It's integrated into the keyboard. So do most other laptops. If you can't figure out how to use it, you should stick to making ignorant comments on slashdot.

    PC notebooks are heavier because Apple notebooks are designed for women and sissies.
