Designed for portable productivity and entertainment, the Satellite P105 series features the line's standard 17-inch diagonal widescreen TruBrite display with a 7.1-pound, 1.41-inch slim notebook chassis, and incorporates the latest Intel Centrino Duo mobile platform. Based on the new Intel Core Microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor is designed to handle multiple tasks in less time while consuming less power and reducing fan noise and heat. In addition, all the notebooks now feature an Onyx Blue Metallic high-gloss lid as well as a high-gloss palm rest inside.
