Toshiba Releases New High Power Laptop

The Toshiba Qosmio G45-AV680 has been released in the U.S. for a price of $3,199, which isn’t bad considering the powerful specs of it. The key selling point for it will be its ability to burn HD-DVDS. This new laptop ships with a glossy white finish and features a 17-inch monitor that plays content back in full 1080p resolution. Other media centered features included with this laptop are a remote control, USB HDTV tuner (for viewing and recording live high definition TV), Harmon speakers, and a built in subwoofer. Having a HD-DVD-R burner means users will be able to store up to 30 gigs of content on one disk compared to 25 gigs with Blue Ray drives. Besides the media features, this laptop is also a powerhouse system with 802.11n Wifi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, Geforce 8600M GT graphics card (256MB memory), Core 2 Duo 2ghz processor, 2GB of RAM, Windows Vista Ultimate (this is one thing I am not crazy about), a fingerprint reader, and a huge 320 gig hard drive for storage. This laptop seems like a good system for a reasonable price, but I would make sure and check if Windows XP drivers are provided from Toshiba just incase Vista doesn’t work out for you.
