Guide Review - Toshiba Satellite Pro M10-S405
5/9/03 - The Toshiba Satellite Pro M10-S405 system barely falls into the thin and light laptop category based on its dimensions and weight. If you are willing to sacrafice on the physical size of the system, you get a lot of solid performance from this portable. The M10-S405 comes equipped with the Intel Pentium M processor and a surprising 512 MB of memory. This should allow the M10 to run just about any business application on the market. In addition, it sports a large 15" screen with a high performance NVIDIA 420 Go processor that can even handle moderate 3D graphics applications. It offers all of this performance at a good price point, but they are really on the border of this system falling into a desktop replacement category.
