Stylishly designed, the Satellite P100-ST9742 sports a Sunlight Copper lid and has an estimated single unit price (ESUP) of $2,899(3). The new Satellite P100-ST9742 notebook is currently available from ToshibaDirect (www.toshibadirect.com).

“Today’s avid gamers expect the ‘wow’ factor from their gaming notebooks and Toshiba delivers this with the new Satellite P100-ST9742 notebook,” said Jeff Barney, vice president of marketing, Digital Products Division, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. “The combination of the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and NVIDIA graphics card demonstrates Toshiba’s commitment to the next generation of gaming.”

The Satellite P100-ST9742 includes features such as a fingerprint reader for one-touch secure access management as well as a Dual Mode touch pad that can provide one-tap short cuts to launch e-mail, an Internet browser and other selected programs, and Bluetooth(R) v.2.0+EDR technology to connect with Bluetooth(R) devices such as wireless gaming controls and other accessories. Other highlights include:

  • a DVD SuperMulti Double Layer drive that reads and writes in up to 11 formats that can nearly double a recordable DVDs storage capacity for photo, music and video files in either DVD+R or DVD-R double layer formats;
  • 5-in-1 bridge media adapter for easy file sharing and downloads;
  • built-in harman/kardon(R) stereo speakers for a rich audio experience;

The new Satellite P100-ST9742 notebook comes with a standard one-year limited warranty(5). The standard limited warranty includes carry-in support at Authorized Service Providers throughout the country, or the customer may use any of the more than 3,000 UPS Stores for packaging and delivery of the product to a centralized depot for prompt service turnaround. Customers can also choose to upgrade the notebook’s service plans, including up to four years of extended service plans.

Included Microsoft Office OneNote(TM) 2003 software enables users to better capture, organize, find and share notes gathered from e-mail, meetings, presentations, classes, the Web and other sources. OneNote captures virtually any type of information — ranging from typed notes to audio — in a single convenient place.
