The Satellite P100 line features a 17-inch diagonal widescreen display in a 7.1-pound(1), 1.41-inch slim notebook chassis that features the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GTX graphics(2) card for displaying the latest games and multimedia programs in vivid realism and clarity.

Featuring the Intel(TM) Core(R) 2 Duo processor, the Satellite P100 notebooks have the processing power to handle multiple tasks in less time, while consuming less energy and reducing fan noise and heat, allowing for extended gaming sessions with crisp video quality.

The Satellite P100 series features Toshiba's signature eye-catching Onyx Blue Metallic LCD lid and are available solely through ToshibaDirect (http://www.toshibadirect.com) with a starting price point of $1,999(3).
