Satellite?

Hello, I was looking into Toshiba's Satellite A40-1LR REF.
Please bear with me, I'm a newb with notebooks.
And I was wondering what Satelite means.

Thanks.

 

1. Astronomy. a natural body that revolves around a planet; a moon.
2. a country under the domination or influence of another.
3. something, as a branch office or an off-campus facility of a university, that depends on, accompanies, or serves something else.
4. an attendant or follower of another person, often subservient or obsequious in manner.
5. a device designed to be launched into orbit around the earth, another planet, the sun, etc.
6. of, pertaining to, or constituting a satellite: the nation's new satellite program.
7. subordinate to another authority, outside power, or the like: summoned to a conference of satellite nations.

 

Satellite is a model name. Kind of like a car... you have a manufacturer, who has several models of cars, and then each model has some variations to it.

 

I see, I was thinking that these laptops used satellites or actually had something to do with them.

The A40-1LR REF does not have a fingerprint reader right?

 

Fingerprint reader is overrated.
