Toshiba Qosmio G45 AV680 Review

Taking the laptop from work to play, the new Toshiba Qosmio G45 AV680 laptop is the ultimate high-definition showcase for your digital entertainment. As far as HD goes, you can scrutinize the Qosmio G45 AV680 in two ways: by audio and by visual. Slip your favorite HD DVD into the laptop and you won’t be able to take your eyes off the picture displayed on the 17-inch diagonal widescreen with Ultimate TruBrite display - that’s 1,920 by 1,200 native resolution and a picture that’s six times clearer than offered by the standard 15.4-inch laptop. The second mode of attack is the sound - the 5.1 surround-sound Dolby Home Theater with four built-in, high-fidelity Harman Kardon Bass Reflex speakers and an integrated 1-bit digital amplifier. A built-in HD DVD-R3, HD TV tuner and HDMI connector, embedded webcam and microphone, and a remote bring variety to your fingertips. All the technical trimmings include Intel Centrino Duo processor technology with the Intel GM965 chipset, new Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 4965AGN, and 1GB Intel Turbo Memory for enhanced system performance, application responsiveness and power use. Advanced video processing with NVIDIA’s new GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB of VRAM graphics and dual 160GB HDDs deliver dependable performance. The Qosmio G45 AV680 laptop starts from $2,999.99. Toshiba.
