In keeping its word earlier this year that it would push the HD DVD format through sales of its computer equipment, Toshiba Corp. has announced the new Satellite brand A205 laptop that comes equipped with a HD DVD drive. Along with the HD DVD drive, the model will include an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5250, running at 1.50 GHz, 2GB of RAM, and a 200 GB 4200RPM hard disk drive.
The screen offers a WXGA resolution (1280x800) 15.4-inch diagonal widescreen display featuring Toshiba's TruBrite technology. The first Toshiba laptop to feature the HD DVD format was the Qosmio AV notebook PC, which was notably heavy at over 10 pounds (4.5kg) weight in certain configurations. A Satellite laptop that doesn't feature HD DVD weighs in at around 6 pounds (2.72 kg).
The new A205 laptop will sell for a retail price of $1,149.99 USD, about 30 percent higher than a model without HD DVD. Until February 28th, 2008, customers who purchase an A205 laptop also receive a mail-in offer for five free HD DVD titles.
