Core Duo Toshiba notebook for $1,250
When I heard about the new dual core CPUs from Intel, I immediately panicked and figured the falling prices of notebook was about to reverse. Then I see this info on MobileWhack about Toshiba’s A105-S4014 for $1,400. I looked and found the A105-S4004 for even less. The 15.4-inch WXGA notebook runs on a 1.66GHz Core Duo processor, features a TruBrite display, has Windows Media Center installed, and includes 1 Gigabyte of RAM. Toshiba crammed a 100 GB drive, obligatory WiFi and a writeable DVD drive as well. The Intel 950 GMA will get you by on graphics for most everything you need, but if you’re a hard-core gamer, this might be an issue. Regardless, all of this for $1,250 direct from Toshiba is a sweet mobile deal. Oops, did I mention that Microsoft OneNote 2003 is pre-installed too?

[…] TOPICS: Kevin is cranky due to the new Oblivion game on the Xbox 360. Look out! Brighthand is now part of BargainPDA. Good luck with the new site gang! Are any MoTR listeners interested in a “meet and greet” geek-out? Dave and Kevin are in the NJ, PA area and James may be coming to NYC in a few weeks! Drop a comment if interested and we’ll see what we can do! NYC mobile folks, both Palm and Windows Mobile, should check out the NYCDAUG that meets monthly. Is Gateway’s new NX100 notebook an “ultra-portable”? We don’t think so, but it’s not a bad notebook for $1,650. Even better might be Toshiba’s dual core notebook for $1,250 that includes OneNote 2003 and an integrated optical drive. TabletKiosk’s UMPC is available for pre-order. Say hi to the “eo”, although we think it should be dubbed the “gobi”. What do you think? Looks like Kevin was wrong and Toshiba will not be entering the UMPC market at this time. Hmm….. Who wants an Origami device integrated in their car? Speaking of cars, how about using EV-DO in the car for mobile television. Slingbox or Orb + EV-DO + Origami = mobile TV bliss. Sprint’s faster EV-DO via Revision A coming in 1Q2007 and Kevin is disappointed in the speed. EV-DO is “disruptive” in a good way according to the listener e-mail from Tim Marman. Freeware of the day: Keep score of your baseball games with It’s a Hit! for Palm. […]
