Toshiba updates Satellite P105, U205 laptops for Vista

Looks like Tosihiba is continuing its Vista-updating ways, with its Satellite P105 and U205 laptops the latest to get a refresh in anticipation of the big launch day. First up, the heavyweight (7.1 pounds) Satellite P105 brings things up to speed on the desktop replacement level, with a 17-inch widescreen display, T5200 Core 2 Duo Processor, 2GB of RAM, and up to 200GB of hard drive space, along with a bundled USB TV tuner to put those Media Center features to good use. Look for it to be available as soon as Vista's let loose for $1,599 or $1,649 depending on the configuration. On the more portable side of things, the Satellite U205 will lighten your load to a more manageable 4.1 pounds, with a 12.1-inch widescreen display, an unspecified processor, 160GB hard drive, and up to 2GB of RAM; it'll set you back between $1,299 and $1,599 depending on the config. Both will be available with your choice of Vista Home Premium or Vista Ultimate, although the U205 will apparently miss the Vista launch date by a few days, with it set to bring up the rear on February 6th.

Love the 17" Toshibas (currently on third), but they really, really screwed up the keyboard here. You can't touch type (okay, I can't) due to the screwed up right shift key area. (Due to them jamming in a wasted, imo numpad area.)

I'll be buying the next 17" Tosh when they fix this - heck, maybe the new Qosmio on 3/14.
