This computer is only 2 years old and I have had nothing but problems ever since. ANd everytime I call tech support they tell me to take it to Best Buy. This laptop takes about 10 minutes to start up AFTER turning on. I upgraded the RAM to 4GB and it (Read full review at CNET)

| Cons: Heavy, slow start up, bad tech support, speakers crackle, video graphics card messed up(purple lines through screen), cd player stopped working, way too expensive, programs get errors after using them for a week....I could go on for weeks. |

This product is a lemon, the very positive CNET review not withstanding. Unfortunately my personal experience is far from unique. Do some research online and you will find that this laptop's video system will often fail and even when under warranty, (Read full review at CNET)

| Pros: The huge display is beautiful, while it still works. The volume control knob to the side of the keyboard is a handy feature - and the sound is great (all things relative). This laptop basically has everything, built right in. BUT... |
| Cons: After 13 months my video card started to go. As the Nvidia card is integrated with the mother board, replacement is very involved and expensive. And the "fix" is only temporary - the problem will re-occur, as many online postings will attest. |

It's supposed to come with Media Center 2005, but actually comes with Media Center 2002! I know of 2 such cases: there is a sticker on the laptop that says Media Center 2005, but if you look at the system properties, it's Media Center 2002! What... (Read full review at Amazon)

| Today we take a look at Toshiba Canada's Qosmio G30 (specifically the PQG31C-HD202E ). The G30 closely resembles Toshiba USA's Qosmio G35-AV650 in specification so this review should give you an idea of that unit's performance. A major selling point of the G35 is the included HD-DVD -- but is it worth the price tag of $2,500? ...

| Multimedia laptop.Reviews say the Toshiba Qosmio laptop is as much a home-theater component as it is a laptop, and at ten pounds, it isn't very portable. Complimenting its 17-inch widescreen (1440 x 900) is an internal TV tuner and the Windows XP Media Center Edition operating system, which allows you to record television (analog only) to the Qosmio's 160GB hard drive and then make hard copies with its dual-layer multiformat DVD burner. The Toshiba laptop isn't as great at 3D games as the Dell XPS M1710, but its TV tuner and excellent multimedia performance set it apart. With a top processor and components, it also makes a great desktop replacement notebook. ...

| Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV600 Toshiba's Qosmio remains the premier multimedia entertainment desktop replacement notebook. As if the first Qosmio Windows Media Center Edition notebooks didn't kick enough multimedia booty with instant-on TV, a slot-fed DVD burner, awesome Harman/Kardon speakers and a cool volume dial, the latest Qosmio adds hi-fi sound. According to Toshiba, the $2548 (as of March 27, 2006) Qosmio G35-AV600 is the first PC to carry a 1-bit digital amplifier--something found in many high-end home stereos. Uniting a bass-reflex speaker enclosure and subwoofer-emulating bottom air pockets, the notebook sounds fantastic--as thumpy and crystal clear as any external speakers that come bundled with a desktop PC. No other notebook's audio comes close. Toshiba's top-of-the-line consumer notebook also boasts an Intel dual-core processor, a 17-inch WXGA+ wide-aspect screen, a full-size keyboard, and a pair of 80GB RAID-configurable hard drives. Equipped with Intel's new 1.83-GHz Core Duo T2400 processor and 1GB of system RAM, the Qosmio earned a good WorldBench 5 score of 92. Dual processors speed up multitasking, which we saw in the Qosmio's performance results. The Qosmio's remarkable 3.8-hour battery life gives you the option of leaving the electrical outlet behind for a while. An instant-on TV button above the keyboard continues to be one of the Qosmio's defining features. Another button lets you watch a movie or play a CD without booting Windows. You'll find the rest of the entertainment applications--including software for managing photo slide shows and videos, and the ability to pause and record live TV--inside Windows Media Center. This notebook is decked out in nearly all respects. It lacks a DVI flat-panel monitor port, but you get an ExpressCard slot, a fingerprint reader, a three-in-one media card reader, both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless readiness, and two headphone ports, including a shared S/PDIF minijack for connecting digital speakers or enhancing the headphone experience with Dolby virtual surround sound. Aside from the lack of DVI output, the Qosmio offers an exceptional array of video connections, including component-out, composite-in, and both S-Video-in and S-Video-out. The notebook has a minijack instead of a full coaxial cable connection, which means you have to keep track of a short adapter cable. I thought the new dual-mode touchpad was useful. Tapping an on/off icon in the upper right corner fills the membrane with brightly backlit shortcut icons. After some practice, I could launch e-mail and my three favorite applications with the tap of a finger. My favorite shortcut consisted of controlling speaker volume by sliding a finger up or down the touchpad's scroll zone. The Qosmio's only serious disappointment relates to gaming. In our tests, the G35-AV600 fell flat because of its low-powered nVidia Geforce Go 7300 graphics card. Far Cry looked pretty good and played at a smooth 44 frames per second, but in our other game tests the Qosmio could barely keep up with the action, at one point dropping to fewer than 9 fps. By May, an updated model, the Qosmio G35-AV650, will be available with a high-definition optical drive for playing the handful of available HD DVD movies. The company couldn't say when the Qosmio would be available with a high-definition TV tuner for recording HDTV. -- Carla Thornton ...
