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.

The performance downgrade made to the M4 Pro that no one is talking about

Someone using a MacBook Pro M4.

I've spent this whole week testing the new M4 chip, specifically the M4 Pro in both the Mac mini and 16-inch MacBook Pro. They are fantastic, impressive chips, but in my testing, I noticed something pretty surprising about the way they run that I haven't seen others talk much about. I'm talking about the pretty significant change Apple made in this generation to power modes.

First off, Apple has extended the different power modes to the "Pro" level chips for the first time, having kept it as an exclusive for Max in the past. The three power modes, found in System Settings, are the following: Low Power, Automatic, and High Power. The interesting thing, however, is that in my testing, the Low Power drops performance far more this time around.

A 2-in-1 has challenged the Surface Pro 11, but not how you might think

The ports shown on the side of the Surface Pro 11.

Microsoft's Surface Pro 11 epitomizes the detachable tablet form of 2-in-1 laptop, and it's come a long way since the company first introduced the form factor over a decade ago. The newest model leveraged Qualcomm's Snapdragon X chipset for strong performance and great battery life, making for the best version of the Surface Pro ever.

But the more popular 2-in-1 format is the 360-degree convertible, where the keyboard flips around from clamshell through tent and media modes into a tablet. HP's new OmniBook Ultra Flip 14, based on Intel's new Core Ultra Series 2 chips, is one of the best laptops in this category. But here's the question: Which makes for the better 2-in-1 experience?
