Toshiba's MacBook Pro-esque Satellite E105 arrives at Best Buy

The Toshiba E105 has been sneaking around the fringes for a few days now, but apparently it's not just announced -- it's available for purchase. That's right, the oddly familiar looking 14.1-incher can be had at Best Buy for the totally reasonable price of $1,199.99, packing a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo, a 1280 x 800 TruBrite LCD display, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and an Intel 4500MHD integrated GPU. The Satellite also sports 802.11a/b/g/n, an HDMI out, Vista Home Premium, and that all-important fingerprint reader (just remember, this increases the odds of someone cutting off your finger). The laptop is available right now online, no word if it's on store shelves yet.

no, it's you who's unreasonable.

I /think/ I'm with BB. ...but then, I'm pretty sure I've been paying a $100 premium just to not have to screw with windows myself....
*shrug*
At least it's not, say, eight times that.

FUGLY joke of a machine

[zomg0t Posted Oct 6th 2008 1:31AM]

I guess he's officially considered a troll. You wouldn't want to feed him, would you?

[ethana2 Posted Oct 6th 2008 1:47AM]

ill just use my lovely full featured inspiron 1420n and keep laughing at YOU.

..then when we order my mom's new inspiron 1525n on wednesday, I'll laugh at you some more.

I'm an Apple user and all, but you just had to (unnecessarily) slip an Apple reference somewhere in this article, didn't you.

[Johnny Shao Posted Oct 6th 2008 2:35AM]

How a joke it is. Only the similar color as MBP? Walton-esque comments should be charged from now on ...

[RKN Posted Oct 6th 2008 2:52AM]

Seriously, why aren't any of us allowed to reply to Clak's comments? Did Engadget give him special permission to be an Apple troll?

[Benson Posted Oct 6th 2008 3:16AM]

Is it really that hard? He's exploiting (initially by accident, and now deliberately) a slight bug in engadget's comment scripts, but nothing you can't work around on the fly with Firebug. (And it's pretty obvious how, IMHO.)

[Benson Posted Oct 6th 2008 3:12AM]

Go 'way please; you don't need another account, you need a life.

I agree... porn is better on pc!

[dwdillard Posted Oct 6th 2008 9:12AM]

It's on shelves at my best buy.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 6th 2008 9:53AM]

Style?....its "appawling" :->

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 6th 2008 10:05AM]

take this from a reliable source. It is already in the stores, they just haven't put it on display. Just ask one of the guys/girls to bring it down from the top, and you can get it today.

This doesnt look a mbp it looks like a piece of crap

[mongooseblarg Posted Oct 6th 2008 10:58AM]

I unboxed this in Best Buy. I was fairly impressed until I saw the price. No thanks!

[Mr Blurrycam Posted Oct 6th 2008 11:58AM]

IMO it's more IdeaPad S10-esque than MacBook Pro-esque.
