Toshiba Satellite P505-S8010 is the first laptop from Toshiba that has 18-inch notebook with Intel’s Core i3 CPU features solid performance for work and entertainment, an attractive design, and rich sound at a wallet-friendly price. The Toshiba Satellite P505-S8010 has an incredible 18.4-inch diagonal TruBrite LCD widescreen display featuring a 1680 x 945 (720p native) HD resolution. Toshiba says this “HD+” resolution is designed to show sharper images than 720p while keeping costs down. Film buffs may lament the lack of a full HD display (a feature more expensive machines such as the Sony VAIO F Series have), but the image quality was excellent. While the picture held up from all but the most extreme angles, the screen’s glossy coating kicked back plenty of reflections. You can also export your video to an HDTV via HDMI output port.

Under the Intel’s new 2.13-GHz Core i3-330M processor. Although it doesn’t possess Intel’s Turbo Boost technology for dynamically increasing CPU clock speed when needed (that’s reserved for Core i5 and Core i7 notebooks), the  Toshiba P505-S8010 very good performance. Graphics are rendered by an NVIDIA GeForce 310M solution with 512MB of DDR3 dedicated memory. Other features include a DVD supermulti drive with Labelflash technology, connectivity for USB, eSATA and FireWire devices as well as an integrated memory card reader. The Toshiba Satellite P505-S8010 Notebook comes running Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system.

The keyboard on the Toshiba Satellite P505 is wide and spacious, but the individual keys lack a certain amount of tactile feedback that touch typists may enjoy. Still, you have a full number pad and nicely sized Shift keys. To the left of the keyboard is a responsive touch-sensitive media control panel that allowed us to easily play, pause, and skip tracks while listening to music files. The Toshiba Satellite P505-S8010 Notebook is a great way to play games, enjoy media, or get work done.
