Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite P200-12D
Source: IT Reviews
Toshiba's Satellite family of notebooks keeps growing and features models that cover most aspects of laptop design. The Satellite P200 range sits towards the higher end of the family line-up and, of the P200 series, our review model, the 12D, is the current flagship of the range, offering a good feature-set together with a reasonable price tag. It's a big boy, measuring 399 x 288 x 36mm and weighing in at just over 4kg (with the power brick), so it's definitely aimed at replacing your desktop PC; a job it does admirably well with its specification. Despite the poor graphics performance - and if you're not interested in playing games on a laptop that hardly matters - Toshiba's Satellite A200-12D is a good all-round system with a major trick up its sleeve in the form of a built-in HD-DVD drive and HDMI output.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400: This DirectX 10 graphic card from ATI is the direct competitor to the NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS graphic card for laptops. It features the Avivo HD video engine. The performance is not enaough for DX 10 games and high settings.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
T7100: Entry level to mid-range (at the time of annoucement) dual core processor based on the Merom core.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
17.1": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.

3.3 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan.
