Toshiba Satellite P775: Software to make a big screen sing

Meet the Toshiba Satellite P775, a spacious 43.9cm (17.3") laptop designed to replace and outmode your desktop computer in one go - and with no wires. It's bursting with all the latest tech, including your choice of second generation Intel Core processor and USB 3.0 connectivity, but it's not just a heavyweight piece of hardware. It comes with the latest software preloaded to help you get more done and get more out of everything you do already: read on and we'll explain what to expect.

Resolution+
You might be more familiar with Resolution+ from Toshiba's REGZA TV line - it's a smart algorithm that works quietly in the background to upscale video to high definition, in real time. The upshot is that your DVDs get a new, crystal clear lease of life on the Satellite P775's lush LED backlit screen.

Toshiba Media Controller
While the Toshiba Satellite P775 comes with a huge 750GB hard drive, it's not the only place you need to keep your media on. With Toshiba's exclusive Media Controller software, you can stream files from any other computer on your network, or even send them to a net connected TV too.

Toshiba LifeSpace
If your online life is a scattered mess across your desktop, you can tidy it up quickly and easily with Toshiba's custom LifeSpace software, which lets you keep track of favourite files, jot down notes and keep an eye on the system's health at a glance. Naturally, it comes pre-installed on the Satellite P775.

Dolby Advanced Audio
You'll find super sonic Harman Kardon speakers built into the Toshiba Satellite P775, and to complement them, you also get Dolby Advanced Audio software, which analyses sounds in realtime, and tweaks them perfectly to the acoustics of the laptop's chassis - you can read more about how it works here in our guide.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
You don't just get the entry level version of Microsoft's newest operating system on the Toshiba Satellite P775 - you get the 64-bit version designed specifically for use in the home, so you get much better memory management, as well as incredible services such as Windows Media Centre.
