Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV650
Angle Front Screen Comparison

review

By Cisco Cheng

Toshiba takes high-definition TV to the next level with its Qosmio G35-AV650 ($2,999.99 direct) notebook. Now the most complete Media Center laptop on the market, this latest Qosmio features the company's much anticipated HD DVD drive. The drive represents a significant upgrade to the Qosmio G35-AV600 notebook ($2,399.99), which garnered numerous Editors' Choice awards. But despite the new additions, the system needs some fine tuning.
