Reviews for the Toshiba Qosmio G30
Source: Notebookreview.com
The G30 is a first gen HD notebook, and it is burdened with too many compromises to fully recommend it. The only person I could recommend this to in good conscience is someone with a fat wallet and who is prepared to live with the early adopter compromises in order to be the first one on the block with an HD-DVD notebook. Lets talk about HD-DVD for a minute. My experience with 1080p HD-DVD content was quite poor. The Good Fellas disc I used was a huge disappointment and a rip-off at double the cost of the DVD version. I suppose a bit more research would have alerted me to the poor quality of the HD-DVD, but why should a consumer bother? A standard DVD and a decent upscaling DVD player will produce output just as good as HD-DVD if the combination I tested is any indication. I would feel pretty stupid right now if all I had to show for my HD-DVD investment was a light wallet and a content of the same quality as the HD-DVD of Good Fellas.

Last month, we saw the first of the long-awaited Blu-ray drives with its not surprisingly hefty price tag. Now along comes phase two of the big high-definition roll-out in the form of HD DVD, and what better way to introduce it to consumers than inside one of the most successful media centre notebook ranges currently available: the Toshiba Qosmio. The G30 is the elite Qosmio, and it's easy to see why once you lift the lid and expose the sleek black interior. A stunning way to enjoy HD DVD, but the wonderful design and features come at a price .

The Toshiba Qosmio has become something of an institute, as there really is nothing in its price class or styling. It’s aimed at the high-end media enthusiast, so you’ll find a stunning 17-inch Super-TFT panel that is so bright and clear it makes DVDs really come to life. There’s even a digital TV tuner built-in for when you want to watch and record your favourite television shows. Backed by Harman/kardon speakers and a solid sounding subwoofer, you can get away without having to add surround-sound speakers. Yes it's expensive but the type of person who is going to buy the Qosmio isn't looking for a budget machine, they are looking for the best in components with no compromise and as far as we’re concerned, the Toshiba Qosmio G30 scores on every level.

Comment
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600: The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 is a middle class video card of the 7000 series and suited for games of the year 2006. The performance is very similar to ATI X1600 / X1700. Compared to the desktop 7600 it is clearly slower.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)
T2500: » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
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.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
4.8 kg: This laptop is heavy. Especially desktop replacements with 19 inch display fit in this class of weight. This class is too heavy, even for 17 inch DTR.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba-made Semiconductors are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Toshiba is one of the biggest international notebook-manufacturer. There exist many reviews for Toshiba models.
79.25%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.
