World's First Notebook PC with HD DVD-ROM Drive "Qosmio G30 / 697HS"

Although it was previously announced, details of the specification seems to be settled. It is quite a terrible spec, is not it. Release is in mid-May. Although the price is an open price, it probably will certainly exceed 300,000 yen second half.

The feature is that it is equipped with a thin HD DVD-ROM drive with a thickness of 12.7 mm. Since this drive is "HD DVD - ROM / DVD Super Multi Drive", DVD ± R DL (2 layers), writing to DVD - RAM is also OK. In short it corresponds to everything.


For convenience of reproducing HD DVD, the liquid crystal is 17-inch wide wide full HD liquid crystal (WUXGA: 1,920 × 1,200 dots). Since it has HDMI terminal as external interface, it can be connected to large screen LCD TV or projector. Since the terrestrial analog TV tuner and the terrestrial digital TV tuner are also attached, it may be that it buys it as tuner & HDD recording equipment.



The memory is 1 GB (compatible with PC 2 - 4200, 2 GB), with a high performance dual core CPU "Intel Core Duo processor T 2500 (operating frequency 2.00 GHz)" high performance graphic accelerator "NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600" (128 MB) DDR2 SDRAM). The hard disk is 240 GB (5400 rpm) with 120 GB x 2. Is it because it is Toshiba's 130th anniversary model? It is very rich and deluxe.

It also sticks to the sound quality and features "1 bit digital amplifier" and "large aperture harman / kardon bass ref type stereo speaker", wide playback from middle to high range to low range. What on earth are you planning to do?

There are also many kinds of expansion type interfaces, including 5.1 channel compatible optical digital audio output (S / PDIF) terminal, RGB, S-Video output, i.LINK (IEEE 1394), AV input terminal (composite video input, L / R audio input ), USB 2.0 x 4 installed. With the feeling that it is enough to put it all, if the budget permits it is possible to do anything once in Kore.

When writing to a bit more maniac, the tuner part is also terrible, the ghost reducer, digital noise reduction, 10 bit AD conversion, 3 dimensional Y / C separation, time base collector, digital sharpness, digital overdrive, deblocking processing, interlace / progressive conversion, Color correction, de-ringing processing, black enhancer, white enhancer, edge enhancer, motion edge smoothing, 3-dimensional FNR are possible. Everything is there.

Of course, the biggest defect is of course its weight. About 4.8 kg, I can not carry around. I heard that the battery will last for about 3 hours .... Well maybe it is enough if you carry around here and there only in the house. Since the laptop can not be extended from now on, this stance opposite to the Let's notes approach may be right. I go to buy with a dash if it is 1kg level, but it is still impossible at the marketing level with the technical capabilities of human beings as expected?
