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're looking for a great 14-inch laptop, the Apple MacBook Pro 14 should be on your shortlist. It's fast, incredibly well-built, has a great mini-LED display, and enjoys the longest battery life around. It's also very expensive.

Enter the Acer Swift X 14. It's also fast, has a spectacular OLED display, and is one of a rare breed of non-gaming 14-inch machines with a very fast GPU. It's also a lot more affordable. Can it compete with the very best?

The Lenovo IdeaPad D Series 2-in-1 laptop looks and works similar to the Microsoft Surface Pro 9, with a detachable keyboard that also functions as protection for its 10.9-inch touchscreen with 2000 x 1200 resolution. It's much more affordable though, as it comes with the Qualcomm Kryo 468 processor and 8GB of RAM.

Best MacBook Air (M1) deals

The Apple MacBook Air (M1) started a seismic shift for Apple being the first of its Airs to have an Apple-based processor.
