Toshiba is one of the few manufacturers that caters to the entire notebook market- from Ultra portable to desktop replacements and everything in between along with Tablet PCs. Today, we take a look at their very high-end Qosmio G20 notebook that packs more punch than most standard office desktops. The G20 is a multi-media powerhouse based on Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center edition and is designed to be a desktop replacement. Toshiba bundles the notebook with a Media Center Remote control as well as IR blasters that basically send IR signals to your cable/satellite box for changing channels through Media Center. Also included are A/V cables, installation/recovery media and the power adaptor which is of average size.

Comment
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 is the mobile medium class of the GeForce Go 6000 series for notebooks. Its performance is good with normal current consumption (in 2006). Older games like Doom3 run fluently.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Pentium M: With Intel chip set (855 or 915) and Intel WLAN also available with the name Centrino (name for the package).
In the comparison very fast per megahertz and very modest with weaknesses in floating point operations.
It is also available as a low voltage version with very small current consumption.

17.1": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.

4.3 kg: This laptop is heavy below average, compared with the average of notebooks. Therefore especially desktop replacements fit in this class of weight.
