Toshiba Announces AMD-Powered Notebook

By Nick Mokey Published June 25, 2007

Toshiba announced the Satellite A215 series laptop today, a mid-priced notebook powered by AMD’s Turion 64 dual-core processors. The newest Satellite represents a return to AMD after a long hiatus for Toshiba – the company’s last notebook to feature an AMD processor was built in 2000.

“Toshiba based its decision to launch a notebook computer line featuring AMD technology on retailer interest and consumer demand,” said Jeff Barney, vice president of marketing at Toshiba’s digital products division, in a statement. “Toshiba is confident the market will embrace the opportunity to purchase a Toshiba notebook that is powered by AMD technology.”

Naturally, the AMD-powered laptops will also feature graphics cards from AMD-owned ATI – the Radeon X1200. Other specs include a 15.4-inch widescreen LCD, 250GB hard drive, and 2GB of RAM.

The base-level A215-S4757 sells for $899.99, while the high-spec A215-S4767 with a gold edition TL64 processor goes for $1,299. Both are available immediately from Toshiba Direct.

A Windows 11 bug may be quietly eating hundreds of gigabytes of your storage

Windows 11’s storage-eating bug now has a fix from Microsoft

Windows 11 suffering from RAM crisis

If your Windows 11 PC suddenly looks low on storage, your downloads folder or game library may not be the problem. According to Windows Latest, a bug tied to a Windows system file can silently consume tens or even hundreds of gigabytes on the system drive.

The file in question is called CapabilityAccessManager.db-wal, and it sits inside Windows’ Capability Access Manager folder. Windows Latest says the issue may appear as unusually high “System files” usage in Windows 11’s storage breakdown, even though the Settings app does not clearly identify the exact file responsible. In some reported cases, users saw it grow to 200GB, and even more.
