Toshiba listening to its customers: Get a laptop with Vista AND XP
By Joe • Dec 12th, 2007 • Category: PC
Sure, Microsoft offers the posiblity of downgrading (or upgrading to and older edition, as the PC guy from the Mac ads says) from Vista to XP for free (if you've purchased Vista Business or above), if Vista isn't right for you, but who wants to go through the hassle of calling up Microsoft, asking for a new activation key for XP and go hunting for drivers that might not even exist? Well, Toshiba is now including recovery disks with Vista AND XP in their Dynabook Satellite T31 line. The specs:
Specs wise, you'll be looking at a 2GHz Core 2 Duo T7250 on the high side (with a 1.86GHz Celeron 540 on the low-end), as well as optional WiFi, a WXGA (1,280 x 800) resolution panel, 512MB of RAM, an 80GB hard drive, DVD burner and a rechargeable Li-ion good for around 1.3 hours. Additionally, the unit touts four USB 2.0 sockets, Ethernet, PCMCIA, a multicard reader, VGA / S-Video outputs and a FireWire port to boot.
Not bad for a laptop that will cost you between $1,573 for the low end and $1856 for the people with deeper pockets.
