• The Toshiba M45 satellite laptop is a small netbook that was designed to help users to get their work done while on the go. While it may not be the fastest, toughest computer on the market, it still wields enough power to perform common laptop tasks, like watching a movie or taking care of some emails or a late-night book report. There are two models of the M45 available, but both have the same hardware specs. The only difference between the S169 and the S1691 is the operating system--Windows XP Home for the SI69 and Windows XP Professional for the S1691.
