Toshiba Satellite Pro Returns

Business travelers: Toshiba hasn’t forgotten you. The company resuscitated its once-dead Satellite Pro nameplate on Tuesday by introducing two new business notebooks, the Satellite Pro A200 and A210.

The primary difference between the two notebooks will be which company provides the computing horsepower under the hood. The A200 will be powered by an Intel’s Centrino dual-core processors, while the A210 will use AMD’s Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core processors. Their graphics processors will be matched with the CPUs, with the A200 getting Intel’s X3100 accelerator and the A210 landing an ATI Radeon X1200 card.

Other than CPU and processor choice, many aspects of the notebooks will be identical. They will both feature 15.4-inch WXGA TruBrite LCD screens, 120GB SATA drives, and DVD+R/DVD-R drives. An Intel wireless card will allow the A200 to pick up 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, while the A210’s Atheros card will only do 802.11b/g. But on the flip side, the A210 gets 2GB of PC2-5300 DDR ram, while the A200 will only get 1GB.

Both laptops are available now through Toshiba’s resellers as well as Toshiba Direct. The basic Intel-powered A200 goes for $999, while the AMD-powered A210 will start at $699.

If you’ve been holding out for a super-powered MacBook Pro with a high-end M3 Pro or M3 Max chip, you could have a lengthy wait on your hands. That’s because, despite Apple’s plans to launch new Macs later this year, several are reportedly going to miss the cut.

That’s according to journalist Mark Gurman, who claims in a new report that Apple’s flagship 16-inch and 14-inch MacBook Pro models are unlikely to launch until the middle of 2024. Worse, the M3 Mac mini might not see the light of day until late 2024 at the earliest.
