solid compact design, 4x USB connections, separate num block, light weight for 17" laptop, very good performance, good loudspeakers

mediocre stability of the viewing angles of the display, moderate battery runtimes

The used hard disk is a true memory monster with their 160 GB capacity, but the measured data show a clear performance deficit in the comparison with the 100GB hard disk in the P100-102 according data transmission rate and access time

good performance, 4x USB interfaces, separate Num block, light weight for a 17" laptop, cool temperature and noise emissions, very good performance, good loudspeakers

moderate distribution of brightness of the displays, moderate runtimes of the battery

FEAR was playable with 20-30 fps with the settings high-high

Excellent gaming scores. Relatively light gaming laptop. Gorgeous 17-inch widescreen. DVI-D out

Dull design. Should offer a standard HD DVD drive with the price or at least as an option

The dull looks might not impress you, but the Toshiba Satellite P100-ST9772 is a hard-core gaming laptop that churns out excellent frame rates.

Excellent components for the price; lots of ports, connections; good speakers; respectable gaming performance; costs $1,000 less than Dell's XPS M1710

Plain chassis might disappoint gamers; noisy keyboard; no customization options; not as fast as the XPS M1710; poor battery life
