Editorial Review:
The Satellite A45 Series provides students and families a rich blend of power, performance and multimedia at a value price. Adding to the movie and music experience via the integrated DVD/CD-RW drive, the Satellite A45 Series includes the SRS TruSurround XT Technology, creating bass-thumping audio for CD and DVD playback.
If your pocketbook says economy but your heart says power, why not consider the all-new Toshiba A45-S151 Notebook PC? At little more than the cost of a bargain-basement unit, the Toshiba A45-S151 delivers plenty of speed, ample storage space and wireless communication. Multimedia fans and true power users should investigate one of Toshiba's many upscale models, but budget-minded shoppers won't find a much better bang for the buck than this, one of Toshiba's newest midlevel notebooks.
Driven by a snappy 2.8 GHz Intel Celeron processor and a solid 512 MB RAM memory, the Satellite A45-S151 offers enough raw power for the vast majority of personal, leisure and business tasks, and easy multitasking too. Toshiba has also equipped the system with a 32 MB Intel 852GME graphics controller. Though not ideal for high-end 3-D games, this chipset will allow you to efficiently play older and less demanding games and perform some 3-D graphics work. This level of 3-D capability is uncommon in this price range.
Measuring 13.2 by 11.7 by 1.9 inches and weighing in at 7.7 pounds, the Satellite A45-S151 is of average size -- less bulky than a "desktop replacement" unit but nearly double the weight of some of today's lightweight tablets and ultra-compact notebooks. Inside, you'll find a large 60 GB hard disk, a full-size 85-key keyboard with 12 hotkeys, a midsize 15-inch XGA TFT active-matrix display capable of 1024 by 768 resolution, and a convenient DVD/CD-RW drive through which you can burn and listen to audio CDs, archive files, and enjoy the latest Hollywood blockbusters. If you wish to burn DVDs, you'll either need to upgrade or utilize an external DVD writer.
As to be expected in this price range, connectivity options are only fair. The system features a traditional 56K modem port for dial-up communication and an RJ-45 LAN port for high-speed networking, but does not include wireless facilities or an IEEE 1394 FireWire port (normally used for fast downloads from digital camcorders). Furthermore, Toshiba has fitted the unit with four traditional USB ports rather than the new USB 2.0 standard, thus limiting data streaming speed from external devices such as digital cameras and the like.
The bundled software package features Microsoft's Windows XP Home Edition operating system, Microsoft's Works productivity suite, and Intuit's Quicken New User Edition 2004 financial center. In ideal conditions, battery life is estimated at an impressive 2.9 hours.

Rating:  - Great laptop and great value
This is my second Toshiba laptop and I'm very happy with the purchase. My first one is over 4 years old and still has no problems, but I decided it was time to upgrade and purchased this laptop and it's lived up to my expectations. Performance is fast and the big screen is great, I haven't used a desktop in years and do all my work for internet development on this laptop. The wireless connection is excellent and the keyboard is comfortable. I've seen other friends' laptops go bad or the touchpad/mouse ... Read More

Rating: - Toshiba A45 S151 Big Beauty
This is our first fully funtional laptop. Previous units have always sacrificed power, flexibility, and or speed for size/portability. Can be used as a desktop replacement, BUT is HUGE for daily transportation. Do NOT suggest for someone who must be joined at hip to computer at all times. Given this reality - this unit is GREAT!!
Does everything required of it; and does it EXTREMELY well.
Keyboard is about the most substantial I've seen on a notebook; layout of ports is mostly excellent -only complaint ... Read More

Rating: - Great performance, medium transportability
I pretty much agree with the other reviews. The computer is awesome, Toshiba keeps showing it is the leader. Esthetically way superior than Dell, great reliability and with an straighforward installation process. BUT... I would only note that in my opinion the computer is not for everyday trips school-home. It is kind of heavy and actually I found that most backpack-style computer cases do not fit this computer without being really pushed to their capacity limits (or even beyond them). Suggestion: compare carefully ... Read More
