Toshiba’s Mobile Entertainment Assault

Toshiba’s new Qosmio G30 notebook incorporates a combined DVB-T/analogue tuner with a 17-inch widescreen LCD, dual-core Intel processor, and a massive 200GB of hard-drive space.

The latest NVIDIA GeForce 7600 chipset ensures both HD video and games will be replayed with the utmost graphical fidelity. The G30 includes the Windows Media Center OS, and in a bonus for users, the MCE infrared port is onboard - so no more carting around a separate dongle.
