Just the notebook for those increasingly sophisticated users who demand and require advanced engineering and mobility that is as close to state-of-the-art as can be affordable, or reasonably priced.

The Toshiba Satellite M40-S417TD allows users to configure their systems around the extremely powerful and efficient Pentium M processor, which is especially designed for getting the most out of mobile computer units.

The other major features are availability of a more than adequate 100 GB hard drive with 5400 rpm that guarantees superior multi-media performance.

Then there is the integrated wireless that is the backbone of communication these days and ensures that you are well able to stay in touch wherever you may be.

The Toshiba Satellite M40-S417TD 15.4 inch wide screen provides for a vividly stunning viewing experience.

With these basics you can come up with a system that is best suited to your work requirements and budget. Most people recommend that to make the most out of your system, you should select the DVD SuperMulti drive. This is a function that has double-layer recording capabilities, which will allow you to effortlessly burn DVDs in the most popular formats.

A typical configuration of the Toshiba Satellite M40-S417TD consists of 256 MB RAM, a reasonable 40 GB hard drive with sound card and 56 Kbps Fax/modem. This particular configuration uses 1 Lithium ion battery capable of giving 2.5 hours battery life away from the mains. This may sound a little disappointing but is adequate for most users looking for a laptop of this caliber who do not have to spend too much time away from electrical supply.

This laptop ends up weighing in at 6.0 pounds, which is really not too bad, all things considered. The width, depth height measurements are 14.2 inches x 10.6 inches x 1.1 inches.

Video RAM installed stands at 128 MB which allows for interesting possibilities and capabilities.
