Amazon.com Product Description
With exceptional power, features and room, the Toshiba Satellite P505-S8945 is a portable alternative to a desktop computer with its extra-large 18.4-inch screen--giving you the freedom to work and create, plus super-size your music, 3D games, photos, movies and more. The bright 18.4-inch TruBrite LCD (1366 x 768) has an HD+ native resolution (1680 x 945) and the P505 is great for using as a media center with the touch-sensitive media keys placed above the keyboard. You'll enjoy seamless video playback thanks to the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics chip with 1 GB DDR3 discrete memory.
Thanks to the built-in webcam and Toshiba Face Recognition software on this machine, you'll enjoy a more convenient way to communicate, log on or share your laptop among the family. Other high-tech features include a power-saving Eco Button to help reduce power consumption based on your needs, USB Sleep-and-Charge port, a hard drive impact sensor that protects your data, and a dual-layer DVD±RW drive that burns CDs and offers LabelFlash print functionality. And it's sure to stand out in the crowd thanks to the stunning Fusion Finish with Sonic pattern in Black Onyx.
This notebook has a 17.3-inch LED-backlit display with a resolution of 1680 x 945 pixels (native 720p for high-definition viewing). It also provides TruBrite technology, which makes images brighter and more vivid thanks to its anti-glare feature.
Experience improved energy efficiency, expanded wireless connectivity, and amazing battery life with the 45nm Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 processor featuring Intel Centrino 2 technology. This processor has a 2.0 GHz processor speed, super-sized 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and a extra-large 3 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
This Toshiba Satellite laptop makes a real statement about your personal style the moment you walk in a room, thanks to Fusion finish with finely striped Sonic design pattern. Run your fingertips across the smooth, shiny palm rest of the Satellite laptop and what do you encounter? Nary a bump. That's because the touchpad is recessed to give your notebook a more streamlined look, and to give you more comfort when you're clicking or going crazy with that cursor.
Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit version) is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.

18.4-Inch HD+ TruBrite Display
 |
Video is powered by the ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics card, which provides 1 GB dedicated graphics memory and up to 2302 MB as allocated by the Windows Vista operating system. ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series GPUs help redefine the way you play HD games and enjoy unprecedented levels of graphics realism powered by 320 stream processing units. It also offers support for Microsoft DirectX 10.1 games. The intelligent power management delivers the power needed to run the most intense applications while intuitively conserving energy at idle or when demand is low.
Hard Drive Protection
While the highly portable nature of mini-notebooks exposes them to the knocks and bumps that are an inevitable feature of life on the move, the Toshiba A505 features a 3D-accelerometer monitoring system that detects freefalls, shocks and vibrations and protects the integrated HDD to secure against the loss of any personal data.
Dual-Core Processing Power with Centrino 2
 |
Formerly codenamed Montevina, Intel Centrino 2 processor technology improves upon every facet of a laptop's main features, including performance and battery life via new processors and chipsets, faster draft 802.11n wireless, and new business-class manageability capabilities. The new hafnium-infused circuitry--which reduces electrical current leakage in transistors--conserves even more energy, giving you more time away from the wall outlet.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and it can run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background.
8x DVD-SuperMulti Drive
This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD±R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It offers the following read/write speeds:- Write: 24x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, 8x DVD-R, 8x DVD+R, 6x DVD-R DL (double-layer), 6x DVD+R DL (double-layer), 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD+RW, 5x DVD-RAM
With the Labelflash functionality, you can burn high-resolution, high-contrast pictures on the label side of DVD discs using the same laser used for data recording. Enjoy transparency and high-quality not found in traditional printable media. All you need is a Labelflash DVD disc to start labeling without a printer.
Integrated Webcam with Face Recognition Capabilities
A 1.3 megapixel digital web camera built into the LCD's bezel lets you quickly snap photos and participate in live video chats. The integrated webcam does more than just video chats. It includes Toshiba Face Recognition capabilities--the ultimate hands-free, hassle-free way to log onto your laptop. Just show your face to the webcam--no keeping track of hard-to-remember passwords and no unnecessary typing. And if you're using one laptop for several users--say for the whole family or for a small business--Toshiba Face Recognition lets you switch profiles with one simple look.
Brilliant Fusion Finish and Feather-Touch Multimedia Controls
 |
Additionally, separate multimedia buttons let you launch your favorite entertainment right away. But with their unique feather-touch operation these controls do that and more--allowing you to effortlessly start, pause, fast-forward and rewind.

Quality Laptop!,
This review is from: Toshiba Satellite Pro P505-S8945 18.4-Inch Laptop - Black/Silver (Personal Computers)
I purchased this laptop from Frys just two weeks ago and I continue to be amazed by it's potential. This replaced a desktop I built about 1.5 years ago, and the performance is night and day.
As for the problem with the number pad - it's an easy fix once you download and run the BIOS update provided by Toshiba. This is the second Toshiba product I've purchased, and I continue to be impressed by their design and innovation. If you had doubts about picking up this product, doubt no longer and buy one today!

This review is from: Toshiba Satellite Pro P505-S8945 18.4-Inch Laptop - Black/Silver (Personal Computers)
WOW everything about this laptop is perfect
I don't understand that idiot reviewer that tried to downgrade to XP WHY in 2009?? first off this notebook comes with 6gb of memory and xp will only use half; second i have successfully installed and run win 3.1 applications on the vista 64 OS this notebook comes with. All you have to do is use the compatibility options in the properties menu sheesh! I was surprised that it comes with a slot loaded DVD burner as Toshiba website says other the heat vents are in the rear a big improvement in dispensing heat both the cpu and gpu never run over 55C during summer weather (I use HWMonitor pro 64 for temp readings) the keyboard is perfect and lights up every time you type I was a bit sceptical because for the same price you can get a Toshiba with a faster processor and only 4gb of memory so i was unsure whether the 6gb and slower cpu would give me the right performance but the p505 surpassed my expectations it even performs the same operations and at the same speed of my quad q6700 desktop the HDMI output is an easy plug and play to any HDTV with HDMI no more hours of hassle and expensive adaptors for tv presentations the only downside is the extra HD expansion slot will only except an ssd drive as their are not aditional HD brackets and toshiba makes none this notebook is very heavy and at 17.4" wide your limited to accessories. i bought a Toshiba carrying case as it was the only big enough case for this notebook and the carry case is also premium quality after a month and half of use, I'm am glad i made this purchase
