Toshiba goes widescreen
Joining Apple, Sony, eMachines, vpr Matrix, and probably others I'm not aware of, Toshiba this week is introducing a widescreen notebook, the Satellite P25-S507. However, Toshiba's box is actually one of only two 17" notebooks, the other being Apple's PowerBook G4 17-inch, which was "introduced" in January, but actually went on sale, in volume, in April, just two months ago (contrary to this article). Toshiba's monster notebook features a 1,400 x 900 screen (same as the PowerBook G4 17-inch and, not coincidentally, the iMac G4 17-inch) with GeForce FX5200 graphics, CD and DVD burning capabilities, 802.11b and 802.11a wireless networking, a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4, and a 60 GB hard drive. Unlike the Apple unit, however, Toshiba's machine is priced to sell at $2100, compared to a base price of $3300 for the PowerBook G4 17-inch.
