The Toshiba Satellite U200 series notebook is a consumer version of their Tecra M6 series. This model is also sold under the U205 nomenclature in the USA. The model that is under review is a Canadian model that was pre-built and specified by Toshiba Canada. Unfortunately, Toshiba does not offer a customized to order (CTO) option for us. Through my research the only difference between the M6 and U200/U205 series is the fact that the M6 is geared more towards business use so the warranty reflects this and lacks multimedia control buttons.
Since the introduction of the U200 series in Canada, they have always been very similar configurations. Each new model would only offer an incremental change in CPU speed and HD capacity. The retail price has always been between $1499.00 and $1599.00. Looking at the specs it is obvious that this unit packs a lot of performance and features in a small and affordable package. The U200 series is available at most big box stores and generally a special order at smaller computer suppliers. With origins from a business oriented Tecra model the U200 is not meant for gaming as you gather from the specifications. The U200-PT7 is the newest model in the lineup and differs from its predecessor with a faster processor, larger HD, and Vista Home Premium pre-installed.
