HD-DVD Ready Notebook from Toshiba


Toshiba plans to put on sale in Japan in May its first laptop computer with a built-in HD-DVD drive. The Qosmio G30 is expected to be the first computer available from any vendor with an HD-DVD drive.

HD-DVD is one of two formats competing to replace DVD for high-definition movies. The other format is Blu-ray technology.

The laptop is based on a 2-GHz Intel Core Duo processor and will have a 17-inch widescreen LCD panel with 1920 x 1200 pixels (WUXGA) resolution.

Like other computers in Toshiba's Qosmio range, the machine is designed for multimedia use, thus the relatively large display and features such as digital and analog TV tuners, Harman Kardon speakers, and an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) output.

The HD-DVD drive will be 0.5 inches high and able to play HD-DVD-ROM discs and read and write CDs and DVDs, including DVD+/- R DL (dual-layer) and DVD-RAM. It will be available in Japan for about NZD$5,400, but when will it be available in New Zealand.
