Toshiba introduces 17.1-inch Satellite L350 Series

Certainly not the first 17-inch Satellite to emerge from Toshiba's lair, the L350 Series is aimed squarely at the budget set who still have a thing for screen real estate. The entire family packs a WXGA+ (1,440 x 900) resolution TruBrite panel, Vista Home, a dual-layer DVD writer, integrated WiFi and a built-in webcam with microphone. Based on model, you can also get up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, a 200GB hard drive, GMA X3100 or ATI Radeon X1250 graphics set, three Sleep-and-Charge USB ports and your choice of an Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 or AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 CPU. If you haven't already pieced it together, it's not the specs list that's impressive here -- it's the $749.99 starting price tag. You get what you pay for, you know.

Not my style... though I like the low price.

Looks like a solid 750$ worth of machine. Not a huge standout or anything, but it's a budget core 2 duo laptop, I'll drink to that.

A 17 inch laptop with a 1440x900 resolution is ridiculous and useless. Having an enormous laptop only makes sense if the resolution is 1920x1200.

1920x1200 for ultra-tiny text?. Or to change the font size and break the design of many programs?. no way.

screen size and screen real-estate are two different things. 1440x900 on this screen is crap.. 1920x1200 at a minimum...

AWESOME laptop, Ive had it for about a month now... the only problem I am having with it is finding a bag for this monster!
