Cnet recently reviewed Toshiba Satellite P105-S6024:

“Toshiba has recently dominated the field of desktop-replacement media machines with its Qosmio line, and the company’s first Toshiba Satellite P105 configuration, the Toshiba Satellite P105-S921, performed in line with some of the better gaming laptops on the market.

But not every user can afford to shell out $2,300 on a Qosmio, nor does everyone want to play high-end games on their machine. For more budget-crunched buyers, the company offers a $1,149 configuration of the Toshiba Satellite P105 that includes Harman Kardon speakers, a bright 17-inch display, and Windows XP Media Center Edition. While the Toshiba Satellite P105-S6024 lacks some of the high-end components found in its more-expensive siblings, it does offer a decent media experience at a price that undercuts most of the competition–you’ll spend $100 more for a similarly configured HP Pavilion dv8000 and $300 more for a similar Gateway NX860X. For basic home users who want an affordable desktop-replacement laptop to watch movies, rip discs, and manage photos, the Toshiba Satellite P105-S6024 is a great choice.

Though it’s based on Toshiba’s midsize Toshiba Satellite M65, the Toshiba Satellite P105’s 7.8-pound weight places it firmly in the desktop replacement category. Still, it’s lighter than most desktop replacements, including the 8.8-pound Dell XPS M1710 and the 8.4-pound Gateway M685 (whose case is identical to that of the NX850XL). It’s also sleeker, measuring 15.5 inches wide and 10.6 inches deep and ranging in thickness from slightly more than an inch at the front to 1.7 inches at the back. With its sizeable AC adapter, the laptop weighs 9.2 pounds–unfit for regular travel but manageable for moving from room to room.

While the higher-end Toshiba Satellite P105-S921 offers a complete set of media connections, the less-expensive Toshiba Satellite P105-S6024 leaves out a few. It has headphone and microphone jacks (but no S/PDIF); VGA and S-Video (but no DVI) output; plus four-pin FireWire and four USB 2.0 ports. Networking options include the aforementioned Wi-Fi radio, Gigabit Ethernet, and a modem; Bluetooth is not available on this configuration. The Toshiba Satellite P105-S6024 has both a Type II PC Card slot and a slot for the latest ExpressCards, plus a 5-in-1 media card reader that recognizes Secure Digital, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMediaCard, and xD formats. Rounding out the selection is a double-layer DVD burner.

In addition to Windows XP Media Center Edition, the Toshiba Satellite P105-S6024’s software bundle is quite respectable for a budget machine. The package includes Microsoft Office OneNote, the Microsoft Works 8.5 mini-suite, apps for viewing and burning discs, and Toshiba’s Express Media Player, which lets you access CDs and DVDs without booting the system.” - Writes CNET in its review.
