Business travelers: Toshiba hasn’t forgotten you. The company resuscitated its once-dead Satellite Pro nameplate on Tuesday by introducing two new business notebooks, the Satellite Pro A200 and A210.

The primary difference between the two notebooks will be which company provides the computing horsepower under the hood. The A200 will be powered by an Intel’s Centrino dual-core processors, while the A210 will use AMD’s Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core processors. Their graphics processors will be matched with the CPUs, with the A200 getting Intel’s X3100 accelerator and the A210 landing an ATI Radeon X1200 card.

Other than CPU and processor choice, many aspects of the notebooks will be identical. They will both feature 15.4-inch WXGA TruBrite LCD screens, 120GB SATA drives, and DVD+R/DVD-R drives. An Intel wireless card will allow the A200 to pick up 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, while the A210’s Atheros card will only do 802.11b/g. But on the flip side, the A210 gets 2GB of PC2-5300 DDR ram, while the A200 will only get 1GB.

Both laptops are available now through Toshiba’s resellers as well as Toshiba Direct. The basic Intel-powered A200 goes for $999, while the AMD-powered A210 will start at $699.

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.

Starting with the most interesting addition: an upgraded AI Facilitator that can listen to your meeting, spot when someone seems confused, and generate a response (via Windows Report).

Microsoft knew what websites his Windows PC visited.

A teenager allegedly used a VPN to cover his tracks while hacking a US jewelry retailer, but Microsoft knew anyway.

Court documents unsealed in the US case against Peter Stokes, a 19-year-old dual US-Estonian citizen accused of being a member of the notorious Scattered Spider hacking group, reveal that Microsoft provided the FBI with records tied to a tracking mechanism called the Global Device Identifier, or GDID.
