Toshiba on Tuesday will join competitor Sony in shipping high-end notebooks with drives capable of burning DVDs. The move comes as PC makers look to revive sluggish sales and to repeat the CD-rewritable boom that fueled the last wave of computer upgrades.
The new model, the Satellite 5205-S703, will feature a DVD-R/RW drive and sell for $2,699. The laptop comes with a 2GHz Pentium 4-M processor, 15-inch UXGA display, a 60GB hard drive, a DVD recording drive, 512MB of SDRAM, a 64MB Nvidia GeForce4 460 Go graphics accelerator, three USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire port. The laptop runs on the Windows XP home edition operating system.
