Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed primarily for those who need their portable computing to be just that--portable--Toshiba offers the Satellite 3005-S307 notebook. Barely tipping the scales at a featherweight 5.7 pounds and measuring just 10.6 by 12.2 by 1.4 inches, the 3005-S307 proves conclusively that downsizing isn't always a bad thing.

If you think a notebook can't be both small and effective, think again. The 3005-S307 is driven by an Intel 1.13 GHz Pentium III processor, a capable chip that features Intel's battery-conserving SpeedStep technology and a sizable 512 KB of Level 2 cache for faster data transfer speeds. Internal memory is preconfigured at an adequate 256 MB (expandable to a full 512 MB), and system graphics are powered by a surprisingly potent 16 MB nVidia GeForce2 Go video card.

Before you even open it up, you'll see that Toshiba has fashioned the unit with enough amenities to handle virtually any form of connectivity and future expansion. The impressive roster of ports includes two versatile PC card slots, three USB ports for plug-and-play peripherals, a FireWire port for high-speed data transfer, a parallel printer port, infrared and NTSC/PAL ports, and headphone and microphone jacks. A SmartMedia slot allows you to add SmartMedia RAM cards, and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network connection and integrated 56K modem ensure you'll stay in touch no matter where you are.

With the 3005-S307, data storage and movement is not a concern. An accommodating 30 GB hard drive offers plenty of space for even the most software-intensive applications. A speedy and convenient DVD-ROM/CD-RW combination drive allows users to play and record their favorite music, back up valuable data, and watch the latest Hollywood flicks, while a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive handles smaller programs or files you might still store on a disk.

Graphics are displayed on a surprisingly large 14.1-inch, active-matrix screen that supports resolutions up to 1,024 x 768. Positional audio in 2-D and 3-D is generated by an integrated Crystal CS4299-A Codec chip and delivered by a pair of end-mounted speakers. The unit's keyboard features 85 full-size keys, a variety of one-touch multimedia and Internet controls, a TouchPad pointing device, and handy scroll function.

To help get you started, Toshiba has preconfigured the 3005-S307 with a number of useful software applications, including Microsoft's Windows XP operating system, Lotus SmartSuite Millennium Edition, Intuit Quicken Basic 2001, and Norton AntiVirus 2002.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Laptop!, February 1, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Toshiba Satellite 3005-S307 Laptop (1.13-GHz Pentium III, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)
This laptop is great, I choose to buy it instead of the 5005 model, because it has a better and newer PIII-M chip with 512K cache instead of 256, and 133 system bus speed!

Toshiba says that the combo drive is a 4X4X6xDVD but I find that to be not true, I have installed Nero and CDRWIN and both are burning Cds at 8X!

30 gigs hard drive and it seems that Toshiba fixed the speekers so now the do sound better than the 3000-S304 model!

I think this is a great buy for the buck and I got linux installed into it with no problems!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Like My S307, February 12, 2002

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite 3005-S307 Laptop (1.13-GHz Pentium III, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)
I've been a Toshiba and Dell laptop user for about a decade. I particularly enjoy my new Toshiba S307 for speed, capacity and the CD burner. A good buy for the money. Good speed, XP is good, I hook straight into the DSL at home or the network at work with no problems.

Only drawback: lithium ion batteries could be bigger (longer lasting). My Dell laptops give me 4 hours per battery. Not so long with the S307.

Don't think twice about buying a S307. A good machine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Laptop for the price! (But i returned mine), April 10, 2002

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite 3005-S307 Laptop (1.13-GHz Pentium III, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)
Okay, well all the positive parts of this laptop have been told so i'll be negative and concentrate on the cons. (keep in mind im comparing it to the compaq 1720us i returned and my old gateway 3150XL)

Con:
-Heat. This gets a bit warm. Especially compared to the compaq with the same processor

-Hard Drive. I read the complaints and they are right. Click click click. Its really annoying and is a major part of why i got rid of it. The compaq is so super quiet its amazing. Like when you hear a new car and cant tell if the engine is on or not

-Video Out. I dont know if this is standard but you have to reduce your laptop screen to 800x600 to do video out to a TV. The compaq didnt require any resizing so i played counterstrike on TV. Cool!

Pro:
-GeForce2Go in this thing is great but that 800x600 out is the other reason why i am getting rid of this.

-Great trackpad. much better than the compaqs

-8X DVD is very cool
