Like its predecessor, the fixed-configuration Satellite P105-S9722 also features a mix of higher-end--though not top-of-the-line--components for a reasonable $1,999. The selection includes a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of fast 666MHz memory, a downright massive 200GB SATA hard drive spinning at a sluggish 4,200rpm, and an Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS graphics card with 256MB of VRAM. As expected, the system performed admirably on CNET Labs' graphics-intensive Photoshop CS test, scoring within 5 percent of a $3,500 Dell XPS M1710 that had a faster processor, a superior version of the GeForce Go 7900 GPU, and twice as much VRAM. Even more importantly, the P105-S9722 displayed 87.8 frames per second when playing Quake 4 at 1,024x768 resolution--within 12 percent of the XPS M1710's performance at nearly half the cost. Obviously, if you're a hard-core gamer who needs absolute top-shelf equipment to play new, demanding games at their highest settings, the XPS M1710 still trumps Toshiba's offering. But otherwise, the Toshiba Satellite P105-S9722 delivers very strong gaming performance at a far more palatable price than the Dell.
