Lowest Price Toshiba Satellite T115D-S1125 LED TruBrite 11.6-Inch Laptop (Black)


There is some conflicting information on Amazon for this netbook's specs. To make a long story short, Amazon's product info higher on the page is correct, but Toshiba's info farther down the page is inaccurate. What follows is a more detailed description of the problem.

While at one place on the page Amazon has the correct info (2 GB of DDR2 RAM, Windows 7 64-bit, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi), in Toshiba's information lower on the page they list the RAM as 4 GB DDR2 out of a maximum of 8 GB, the operating system as Windows 7 32-bit, and the Wi-Fi as 802.11 b/g/n. This is incorrect! For this model, the T115D-S1125, the maximum RAM, according to Toshiba's own detailed specifications PDF, is 4 GB (2 GB installed by default). The spec sheet says both slots "may be occupied", but according to notebook review, an internet forum (thanks, Aerows!), it appears to be a single 2 GB stick. Also, the detailed specs list the Wi-Fi as 802.11 b/g, but no n.

This is a sweet little netbook, and I might get one; but since I was confused by the conflicting information, and I had to research around to figure out what's what, I thought I'd post this to hopefully set the record straight. I tried to submit a correction to Amazon, but their info is correct, and I couldn't find a link to submit a correction for Toshiba's info.

Also, there is a red version of this netbook at Toshiba's website (the T115D-S1125RD), but Amazon doesn't offer them at this time.Get more detail about Toshiba Satellite T115D-S1125 LED TruBrite 11.6-Inch Laptop (Black).
