Toshiba Satellite

Toshiba Satellite

The Toshiba Satellite is Toshiba's flagship line of consumer-grade notebook computers. They are known as Equium in Europe. Models in the Satellite family vary greatly, from entry-level models to full-fledged Media center class notebooks.

The early models did not come with an internal CD-ROM drive, but these eventually came as mobile technology progressed. Such models can easily link up with a CD-ROM drive through the parallel port on the rear (since USB ports came later as well). Some Satellites also lacked an internal floppy disk drive, but a port on the side allowed the use of a proprietary external module for such. These machines tended to be smaller in physical size, unlike today, where they tend to be more wide and more deep, but yet much thicker than they are today. These early model Satellites have a reputation among longtime Toshiba owners as being virtually indestructible. Fact|date=February 2007In Spring 2000 some models came with a 15 inch screen and a built in DVD drive, a 6GB HDD and ran at 500 MHz. They were sold for $2400 by Toshiba. They also had a model out called the Satellite Pro, and newer models with the Satellite Pro name still sell.

Contrary to the common use of the word "Satellite" as used in "satellite phone/ satphone" and as is used with transferring data streams via satellites in orbit above earth, these laptop style computers have no such relationship thereto. From a common perspective, they are just laptop style computers.

All newer Toshiba Satellite models are pre-installed with a Windows operating system. Most screens now are equipped with the Tru Brite technology in addition to being widescreens, and the lower end models are at very competitive prices, but are equipped with an Intel Celeron M processor and have a low battery capacity. These products carry a one year manufacturer warranty.

Toshiba Satellite prices range from $799.99 to $2,299,99 (US), with the low-end model being the A200 and the high-end model is the X205.

Toshiba Satellite A70, A75, M30X and M35X owners have won a class action lawsuit against Toshiba about design flaws in these laptop models. They are entitled to an extended warranty and refunds in some cases.
