Toshiba unleashes seven Satellites with Core i3 and i5 processors
Apparently, today's the day to release affordable mainstream laptops and Toshiba is joining the flood with seven new Satellites. Yes, Tosh's got seven new models with every screen size from 13 inches on up to 18.4. We're pretty interested in the higher end 16-inch Satellite A505 which will have choices of Intel Core i3-330M, Core i5-430M, Core i7-720QM as well as AMD Turion Ultra M620 processors. The starting at $749 rig will also be offered with Blu-ray and discrete graphics options. On the lower end, the 13.3 inch Satellite U505, isn't as thin or light as the Toshiba T135, but the Core i3-330M and Core i5-430M powered system can be configured with a mulittouch display and WiMAX. The 15.6 inch L505, 17.3-inch L555, and 18.4 inch P505 all have Intel Core i3 and i5 options, but hit the break for the detailed specs.
