== ***Background*** ==

The Toshiba Satellite E205 is a consumer laptop that was first released in 2010 as part of Toshiba’s Satellite series. Designed for everyday computing, light productivity tasks, and entertainment, it is a solid choice for students, home users, and professionals who need a portable and reliable device.

The Toshiba Satellite E205 was available in multiple regions, including North America and Europe, and was not exclusive to any specific market.

The Toshiba Satellite E205 works great for web browsing, office work, and media streaming. The laptop originally retailed between $900–$1,000 USD, primarily because of its inclusion of the now [link|https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000021494/emerging-technologies/intel-wireless-technologies.html|discontinued Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) technology|new_window=true], which allowed users to stream content to compatible TVs. While Toshiba no longer manufactures this model, you can sometimes find refurbished units through third-party sellers.

This device is part of the Toshiba Satellite series, succeeding earlier models with enhanced portability and multimedia features. It includes a 14-inch HD display, a sleek black & silver design, and an LED keyboard for improved usability in low-light environments.

The Toshiba Satellite E205 features an Intel Core i5-430M processor, Intel HD integrated graphics, and 4GB of DDR3 RAM (expandable to 8GB). It also includes a 500GB 7200 RPM HDD, a multi-touch trackpad, and a 6-cell battery with up to 5 hours of runtime.

Connectivity options include an HDMI port for external displays, a VGA port, three USB 2.0 ports (one with eSATA support), an Ethernet port, Wi-Fi 802.11n, and Bluetooth 2.1. It also comes with a built-in webcam and a microphone for video calls.

Reviews of the Toshiba Satellite E205 praised its sleek design, bright display, and Intel WiDi capability, though some reviewers noted average battery life and limited upgrade potential.

A [link|https://www.cnet.com/reviews/toshiba-satellite-e205-s1980-review/|CNET review|new_window=true] noted that during a video playback battery drain test, the upgraded Satellite E205 model released in 2011 (S1980) only lasted for three hours and five minutes.  though the 2010 model (S1904) achieved five hours of video playback before draining its battery completely.

When considering this device, pay attention to the model number, as you may exchange battery life for component upgrades.

Despite aging hardware, the Toshiba Satellite E205 remains a portable and feature-rich laptop for light productivity and entertainment. Its Wireless Display support, backlit keyboard, and solid build quality make it a worthwhile option for users looking for a classic laptop with multimedia capabilities.
