The Satellite A series was Toshiba Information Systems's premium consumer line of Satellite laptops. Introduced with the A10 and A20 models in 2003, the A series originally targeted high school and college students and workers of small offices and home offices, before becoming a premium line by the late 2000s.[1][2]
Prices of models in the series in 2003 ranged from roughly US$800 to US$1200;[3][4] it sold especially well in among the SOHO segment.[5] Some laptops in the series constituted desktop replacements because of their heft: the A45 was lauded by PC Magazine and PC World for its battery life and multimedia capabilities, especially the quality of its speakers, but PC Magazine wrote that its 7.6-lb weight made the laptop good only "for occasional mobile use".[6][7] Other models, such as the A105, were fairly light for the time, at 6 lb, though battery life was observed to have suffered as a consequence, according to PC Magazine.[8] The magazine wrote that the A105 and A75 were particularly adept at home video capture and editing,[8][9] while the A65 was rated particularly poorly.[10][11]
The last entry in the series, the A665, had submodels capable of stereoscopic graphics rendering with its special LCD that was compatible with the Nvidia 3D Vision active shutter glasses.[12]
The A series was superseded by the P series in 2011.[13]
