    Design

    The cover Precious Black LCD Satellite A500 is Toshiba's Fusion finish enhanced by new technology-based IMR (In-Mold Rolling). To meet the different tastes and expectations of customers, Toshiba offers the choice between two variants: the first version has a LCD screen with silver hinges and edges, while the second version, premium, includes a display (Flush Screen) with a mask glass, while the edges and hinges are chrome plated for a more elegant style. Satellite A500 incorporates a backlit keyboard with keys flat black.

    The LCD screen is backlit with LED technology, offering a diagonal of 16 inches with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels in 16:9 format. Thanks to the generous dimensions of the display, Toshiba was able to opt for the use of a full-size keyboard with numeric keypad. Also interesting is the choice to use as a touchpad pointing device with multi-touch, allowing you to scroll through pages, zoom or rotate images of elements with great ease.

    Toshiba Satellite A500-19R is a laptop designed to meet a particularly demanding public and looking for a system that allows him to create and enjoy multimedia content without restriction. Designed in a rather engaging, enriched by the new Toshiba Fusion finish technology-based IMR (In-Mold Rolling), the notebook comes with a hardware configuration very interesting from the standpoint of performance.

    The design of the A505 is one of the Departure of bland (and cheaper) Satellite L505, but it lacks the luxury of a system that Qosmio. His style is battery Dell Vostro 2510 that is similar in P505, the door is accentuated by black Toshiba Fusion finish (a wave of fine lines) and the name of the company chrome in the center. The bridge, too, has the same finish, and while both are brilliant, they do a good job of hiding fingerprints. The bridge and the battery are hordes of silver plastic plate, and the speakers above the keyboard are good by the dividing line of chrome.

    Above the keyboard are more tactile keys Eco Utility, Windows Media Player, Play / Pause, Previous, Next, Mute, and Volume. On L505 cheaper, they are physical buttons and volume control is a wheel of the old school on the edge. Mounting and measuring 15.1 x 6.4 10.2 x 1.6 inches, the laptop is not an A505, you'll be much more carrying around. Although its size and weight the battery Dell Vostro 1510 classified as a system that treaty, it will probably not leave your desk often.

    Keyboard :

    The full-size keyboard of the Satellite A500 integrates numeric keypad. The touch-pad with multi touch control lets you scroll through the pages easily and simplifies the selection of frequently used functions. Thank REGZA-Link HDMI CEC interface (High-Definition Multimedia Interface Consumer Electronics Control), the Satellite A500 can be used from a remote control for controlling a electronic equipment such as TV Toshiba REGZA. Toshiba is the first manufacturer to implement the HDMI CEC feature in their notebook. With the touch of a button, you can access the audio / video and the Echo of Toshiba utilities, which reduces power consumption.

    Multimedia :

    The high-quality sound for cinema provide built-in Harman Kardon speakers, also communicates the notebook with other Toshiba-entertainment electronics devices such as HD televisions on the REGZA-Link and peripherals from any manufacturer via HDMI-CEC (High-Definition Multimedia Interface - Consumer Electronics Control). Thus, the Satellite A500 is operated from the consumer electronics with other remotes. For secure storage of data a hard disk with 3-D sensor is present, the vibration in the notebook protects data on the disk automatically. Prolific writers will appreciate the separate numeric keypad.

    The Blu-ray drive works with automatic feeder, which is better, in my estimation than the mobile terminal devices of many optical drives. The Toshiba Satellite A500 is available for about 900 € now. If the quality is as good as one may expect from the Toshiba, you have a really all-round talent who, in spite of its size and the many features are not much heavier than a normal Notebook - ok, Netbooks are lighter, but which play in a different league.

    Battery :

    As Vostro 1320 battery portables this line, the A505 is pretty cool rest in our tests. APRS playing a video from Hulu in full-screen for 15 minutes, 93 degrees Fahrenheit measured touchpad, the space between the keys G and H is 91 degrees and the middle of the face Rec 100 degrees. We considering that everything Exceeds 100 degrees to be too hot. The A505 is black, shiny color system provided with input battery in comparison to Vostro 1310 which is quiet good, and Toshiba was able to slip in the level of that laptop without compromising the size of the layout.

    As L505, Dell Vostro Battery A90n A505 touchpad is well sized, and its surface is grainy, contrast with the glossy palm rest helped our fingers are moved in with little friction. However, it melts almost too well in the bridge, we often have to lower the head to locate it. The mouse buttons are positively silver standard, unlike the L505, they are oval and have a flat bottom edge that blends battery Dell Vostro A90 in the accent of silver around the edge.


    Display :

    Although the glossy 15.6-inch screen has made a number of reflections, we have t impressed by the contrast and color-screen 1366 x 768 pixels. When watching a skit from Saturday Night Live on Hulu, there was little noise in dark areas. However, Tina Fey red sweater is really luster when she stood before a green chalkboard, and we have recovered a hair of battery Inspiron Mini.

    Audio too quiet well and average. While reading the videos and listen to music, the Harman Kardon speakers has power t able to easily fill a room full volume, without PForm. With Satellite A500, the successor of the line Satellite A300 , users can play games, watch movies or TV at home or while traveling or travel. The screen HD Toshiba TruBrite 16 "in 16:9 format offers a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and a brightness of 200 cd / m². Satellite A500 integrated TV-tuner for receiving analogue and digital DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial), and Harman Kardon stereo speakers offer a stunning audio experience.

    Connectivity :


    On the right battery Dell Inspiron 910 are two USB ports, modem, power and a DVD player loading tray. On the left is a USB, VGA, Ethernet, HDMI, eSATA, headphone and microphone, and a ExpressCard/54 slot. Under the lips before is a 5-in-1 memory card reader.

    The A505 has Rec webcam to video that crisp battery colors within range, accuracy to light To live, but a little struggle when he had just rely on the fluorescent lighting, while the colors still nice and decent, video is becoming much more granular . Nevertheless, there was virtually no motion blur when stirred by hand before the battery Dell Inspiron Mini 12 video camera and microphone (right of the webcam) to pick up our voice clear during a Skype call.

    The 16-inch model, according to Toshiba is a rounder and not optimized specifically for business applications, games or mobile applications. The display in 16:9 format shows both the desktop and high-definition movies that can come from the Blu Ray disc drive. The A500 is based on the new Intel Core i3-330M integrated graphics with electronics, but also has an Nvidia GeForce 330M GT Electronics, the 1 GB of VRAM has its own disposal. For high-resolution video chats a camera at the upper edge of the display is installed.

    Re: Toshiba Satellite A505-S6033 Laptop Review

    Conclusion :

    Another distinguishing feature of the Satellite A500 is that it incorporates a full keyboard including number pad. It is also novel in Multi Touch Pad, which simplifies the scrolling and other functions like zoom or navigation. In addition, Toshiba is the first manufacturer to integrate the CEC specification laptops. So, thanks to REGZA-Link, an interface based on HDMI CEC control, the Satellite A500 can be used with the remote user normally has for other consumer electronic equipment (TV, DVD or audio system).

    Some models are also equipped with a powerful Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53 GHz. , This laptop should be able to tackle any task that we can propose quite slack. Integra 4 GB of dual channel DDR3 memory and a 500 GB hard drive at 5400 rpm with free fall sensor (a sensor detects the hard drive if the notebook is dropped while minimizing damage to the disk itself) . In paragraph underlines its graphic graphic nVidia GeForce 230M GT (with 1 GB DDR3 dedicated memory), which, in addition to decode HD video without any problem, should provide a good experience with games (including demanding titles like Crysis Warhead to details media). Stresses also the LCD screen 16 "HD (1366x768) TruBrite with LED technology.

    Provides very good support network, supporting Gigabit Ethernet, Wifi-N, and Bluetooth. The orientation of this eminently portable multimedia is confirmed by the remote control, dual TV tuner (analog / DVB-T), and especially by Toshiba Bass sound system with Harman Kardon speakers, one of the best speakers manufacturers PC Also available is a digital audio output S / PDIF. Other features of this model are three USB ports, 1 USB + eSATA, S / PDIF, card reader 5 in 1, HDMI output, VGA out, Webcam HD (1280x800), ExpressCard/54, keypad. Beautiful graphics, not spectacular, I moved all the games dramatically.


    Depending on configuration, the Satellite A500 integrates an Intel Core 2 Duo (Satellite A500) or AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core (Satellite A500D). The new Satellite A500 notebooks have a DDR memory of 8 GB and a hard disk with a capacity of 500 GB. In addition, the Satellite A500 can be configured with drives (SSD Solid State Drive) 64 GB. The webcam allows you to record HD video in widescreen. For advanced graphics performance, the Satellite A500 integrates an ATI Mobility Radeon HD up to 1GB DDR3 VRAM.

    Positive Points :

    • The first is the price and then comes the performance of this laptop. As you it comes with Intel Core i7 CPU which you are getting at a very effective rate in this laptop.
    • The CPU is not only the plus point of this laptop it also comes with a Nvidia 310M with 512MB dedicated RAM. So that makes this machine well ready for heavy gaming and better performance. The integrated graphics are quiet powerful for gamers support.
    • The third point of this laptop is Connectivity. Mostly all types of connections are provided on the laptop. You will get also most equal amount of usb, vga, hdmi, Ethernet, firewire and esata controller on the same.

    Negative Points :

    • I found this laptop a bit heavier. I was expecting much thinner model for the same. Though there are some lighter model with similar configuration provided by Dell and other companies.
    • The resolution on the 16 inch screen is quiet nice but not so good. You might have noticed great display on much lower end computers. With an good processor and integrated gpu support I was expecting a high resolution display in comparison to other system.
    • The design is not fine with the laptop. I found this a bit non advance for what an Core i7 laptop must look. The company must work more on the exterior look.
    • Power is main issue for most of the laptop. The maximum support for this laptop is provided is 2 hours and 35 minutes. That is much lower than what was expected.
