Toshiba Satellite P25-S607 notebook computers,notebook computers The Toshiba Satellite P25-S607 is a very good notebook, and thanks to the inclusion of Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002, it has many multimedia bells and whistles.
The stylish Satellite sports a 17-inch-wide screen and a DVD-Multi drive (DVD-RW, DVD-RAM). Add to that a strong multimedia software bundle and the TV tuner and remote control that come with Windows XP Media Center and you have a portable multimedia system. (By the time you read this, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 will be available; Toshiba will offer an upgrade to the new OS for this unit.)
We wish Toshiba would upgrade to the 802.11g or 802.11a/g wireless standard, as others have. And although the system is the most expensive Windows notebook, it's also one of the most feature-rich.
MULTIMEDIA
Music: 
The Satellite includes a front multimedia control panel with CD playback functions and a pair of Harman Kardon speakers for high-fidelity sound. Unfortunately, it has only Windows Media Player for ripping and burning WMAs (not MP3s).

Video:
The unit comes with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002, which lets you watch live TV, browse the Program Guide, and record shows. You can plug your MiniDV camcorder directly into the FireWire port and burn your home movies. True videophiles will fill up the 60GB hard drive fast.

Gaming: 
More of a multimedia system than a gaming box, the Satellite's nVidia GeForce FX Go 5200 graphics card with 64MB of RAM is good enough for some of today's games, and the speakers are better than those that come with most notebooks.
