Hmmm….The previous three models (G10, G20, G30) have all be unreliable as hell, why should be believe this is going to be any better?

Not to mention its as ugly as hell! The bezel around the screen looks terrible, the media and volume controls (as it appears those round things are) look shocking and the keyboard looks really really cheap.

And to top it all off, you are able to get a Asus laptop, which has the same spec’s,is built better and looks 3 million times better, for less?

Any reason to even consider one of these after sharing my opinions above? NO.

What a joke Toshiba!

Along with a HD DVD reader, it will have 2GB of RAM and up to two 2.5-inch 200GB hard drives for a total of 400GB storage. […]

what Rhys say it´s not true. Toshiba is the best computer company nowadays. I own a Qosmio G20 and after 2 years owning it i can say this laptop is absolutly amasing in every detail. Design is suberb and classy. How can this guy say G40 isn´t good if he haven´t seen it or tried it because it´s only available in Japan. Get a life
