Toshiba Satellite U205, Portege R400, Satellite P105, Satellite A135

Evidence that someone at Toshiba was thinking about multimedia authoring and/or some form of audio recording (with the P105 as the source) is a Line Out jack (not seen on too many notebooks). Line Out is different than your run of the mill volume-adjustable headphone jacks. Once your audio source is at "line level" (otherwise known as 0 db), then you just connect your Line Out jack to a Line In Jack on some other device (like a recording device) and your levels should be perfect. So, this is a nice touch. So is the manually conrolled volume knob (which beats software any day as a way of controlling volume).
