read full reviewProduct brief
Description: This configuration of the Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 is a 6.8-pound, consumer level notebook computer.Compared to other general-purpose notebooks on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $570.Has Wi-Fi (wireless connectivity) built-in.Built around the Pentium 4-M processor.Features NVIDIA GeForce4 420 Go graphics with 32MB of video memory.
Pros: Has a plug-in module media bay, which is considerably more favorable than some similarly priced notebooks.In fact, the typical cost of a product with this favorable a media bay is $1,550.Also, this notebook has 1400 x 1050 native screen resolution, which is considerably higher than some similarly priced notebooks.By way of comparison, the average cost of a product with this high a native screen resolution is $1,685.Has a modular media bay -- meaning its CD-RW/ DVD-ROM combo drive is removable, allowing you easily to swap it out for alternative or upgraded units.
Cons: Comes with Microsoft Windows 2000 OS, which is considerably less favorable than some similarly priced notebooks.For example, the Toshiba Satellite P105-S6147, a 7.1-pound notebook at around $635, comes with Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows Vista Home premium OS.Also, this notebook has only 512 MB RAM, which is less than some similarly priced notebooks.The Toshiba Satellite P105-S6147, again, has 1 GB RAM.The Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 comes with basic word processing software ? if you often create complex documents you will likely need to upgrade to a full-fledged office suite.
Suitability: A mainstream notebook, suited for general mobile computing.Travel with your own digital entertainment center ? this laptop comes with a DVD player.Share photos with friends on dial-up modems: put them on a disc with the CD burner in this notebook.With 32MB of dedicated video RAM, this machine will do OK with some games and multimedia applications, but will fall short of satisfying the serious gaming enthusiast.If you have a wireless network at home, wirelessly browse the Internet from any room in your house with this Wi-Fi enabled laptop.
Value: Given its very inexpensive price, this notebook has great features for the money.Generally, while it won't impress at LAN-parties, this item may be just the ticket for a buyer on a tight budget.
Suggestions: (1) Given this device's Wi-Fi capability, you may want to get a wireless access point for your home, so that you can browse the Web more conveniently from any room.(2) This portable computer comes with an expansion device that makes it easy to plug in at a permanent workstation, where you may have an external monitor, keyboard, printer, etc.
