The Satellite P205D is beefy enough to replace desktop machines for a large number of PC users. Its 17” display is comfortable enough for productivity tasks or photo-editing. There is ample RAM memory and the hard drive has a decent size. The price is not even prohibitive. No wonder why laptop’s market share keeps growing. It’s not obvious why the average consumer would buy desktop these days.
