Toshiba Qosmio G15-AV501

This is the new shinny Toshiba Qosmio. This Not only sleek, silver laptop feature an integrated TV tuner, but it eschews the typical Windows XP Home or Professional operating system in favor of Windows XP Media Center . Media Center offers a much cleaner, more organized interface for accessing multimedia functions, like watching TV, playing DVDs, listening to music, or thumbing through yourdigital photos.

After connecting your TV’s coaxial output to the Qosmio, you can watch television programming just like you would on your TV set through the My TV menu. (You can also use composite video-in, but more on that later.) Then just press the Pause, Rewind, and Fast Forward buttons on the remote touse the system’s TiVo-like functionality.

You can also use the system’s DVD SuperMulti Drive to store your files. With the ability to write at some of the fastest speeds you’ll see on any laptop to practically every CD and DVD format, this drive has you covered. A flash memory reader that accommodates Memory Sticks, MMC, SD, and xD cards gives you a convenient way to transfer photos from your digital camera. For connecting anything else, there’s a FireWire and four USB 2.0 ports. Even networking is a snap, thanks to an 802.11b/g adapter and a Bluetooth radio.
