Reviews for the Toshiba Qosmio G30-102

90% Toshiba Qosmio G30-102
Source: Trusted Reviews Archive.org version
Just over a year ago I took a look at the Qosmio G20 102 - Toshiba's top of the range all-in-one-multimedia notebook. Now the G30 has arrived and it's in many ways a better machine – it’s good to see progress as work. It's £100 more expensive than last year's effort but if you're willing to spend the best part of two grand on a notebook then it's hardly worth fussing over, especially as you're getting a lot more for your money than last time. If you do feel the need to spend more, then there's the G30-201 - a variant with a faster CPU and twice the hard disk capacity, available for £2,100.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.

T7200: Mid-range (at the time of annoucement) dual core processor based on the Merom core. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

17.10": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

5.2 kg:

A laptop in this weight range is a heavyweight that you rarely carry around. This is meant for desktops and the devices tend to score with a large display and high performance and replace desktop devices.
