First Toshiba announces a notebook with
an HD-DVD drive, dubbed the Qosimo G30, now SonyStyle Canada had one posted
for a bit, prior to being pulled, that has a Blu-ray drive inside. Luckily
DailyTech saw it and gives us the synopsis on the hardware. This
is one powerful notebook for sure.
The VAIO AR190/AR11s brings some serious firepower to the table
with a 2.0GHz Core Duo processor, 1GB of PC2-4200 memory (2GB maximum) a
GeForce Go 7600GT GPU with 256MB of memory, a built-in TV tuner and a huge
17.8" 1920x1200 display with XBRITE technology. Storage duties are handled
by two 5400RPM 100GB drives in RAID-0 and the aforementioned Blu-ray
optical drive.
Other niceties include an HDMI port, S-Video
input/output, S/PDIF output, three USB 2.0 ports, analog tuner, one
Firewire port, a PCMCIA slot, an ExpressCard/54 slot and an integrated
MOTION-EYE webcam. You won't be carrying this back punishing 8.4 pound
notebook too far from an electrical outlet as the battery life is
estimated at between 1.5 to 2 hours with the standard battery. And if that
isn't enough to scare you away, maybe the $3,600 USD price tag will give
you pause.
