Qosmio G30 will be the first laptop to sport an integrated HD-DVD ROM drive.



Toshiba’s forthcoming Qosmio G30 laptop is Mr Entertainment – it packs Windows Media Centre, a TV tuner, digital video recorder, HDMI digital output and 1080p compatible screen into its sleek casing. There’s also a GeForce 7600 graphics card and an astounding 240GB of hard disk space.
