Toshiba produces a procession of Satellites

Tech expert Michelle Thatcher grew up surrounded by gadgets and sustained by Tex-Mex cuisine. Life in two major cities--first Chicago, then San Francisco--broadened her culinary horizons beyond meat and cheese, and she's since enjoyed nearly a decade of wining, dining, and cooking up and down the California coast. Though her gadget lust remains, the practicalities of her small kitchen dictate that single-function geegaws never stay around for long.

I love a parade, especially when it's a parade of laptops with . This evening Toshiba announced the availability of Core 2 Duo chips in three of its Satellite models:
  • The Satellite P105-S9722 updates the gaming-oriented Satellite P105-S921 with a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 processor, 2GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 graphics card with 256MB of VRAM, and a 200GB SATA hard drive--all for the same $1,999 price.
  • The $1,499 Satellite R25-S3513, an enhanced version of the Satellite R25 tablet, includes a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo T5200 processor and a 100GB hard drive.
  • Three new models in the 15.4-inch Satellite A105 series, with processor options ranging from 1.6GHz Celeron to 1.66GHz Core 2 Duo and pricing from $750 to $1,449.

In addition, the company has refreshed the 14.1-inch Satellite M105 series with a range of processors (from Celeron to Core Duo) and rechristened it the Satellite M115 series. Pricing starts at $700.

CNET Labs is on the parade route for these new systems, so stay tuned for the full report.
