You’d better gear up for the newest laptop with HD DVD-R drive from Toshiba – the Qosmio G45-AV680. This is a new product among its kind because of its added HD DVD-R drive feature. This HD DVD-R feature enables the machine to burn various types of contents such as home videos, photo albums and music totaling up to 30GB into one HD DVD-R recordable disc. Aside from that DVD-R the Qosmio G45 also supports full 1080p playback. With the 1920 x 1200-pixel resolution on its 17-inch LCD display makes working on any application a joy. This laptop runs on the Intel Core Duo T7300 and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Likewise it has NVIDA GeForce 8600M GT with 2GB RAM.

The Toshiba Qosmio G45 has not been dubbed as the state-of-the-art multimedia machine for nothing because this is really an audio-video notebook that’s built with the Dolby surround sound technology that will truly leave you impressed by its sound quality.

Performance-wise the Qosmio G45 is impressive and the same thing can be said about its appearance. It has piano-key white gloss finish, silver volume control knob and the Qosmio AV controller. When you use the notebook, there’s a natural blue backlight on the control knobs. Toshiba Qosmio G45-AV680 will retail for about US$3200.
