The Qosmio G45-AV680 is a cutting-edge audio-video notebook computer with Dolby surround sound technology and the first U.S. model to feature an HD DVD-R optical drive and full 1080p playback resolution.
"first U.S. model to feature an HD DVD-R optical drive"
The Qosmio notebook is a state-of-the-art multimedia machine that can burn up to 30 GB of data, including home-videos, entire photo albums and music libraries onto a single HD DVD recordable disc. In addition to storage capacity, the HD DVD-R optical drive also plays HD DVD movies at a resolution six times sharper than the DVD format.
A key benefit of using a notebook computer as a conduit for HD DVD playback is the standard 1 gigabit Ethernet and 802.11n1 wireless2 internet connections, which makes it possible to quickly and easily access internet content.
The Qosmio G45-AV680 notebook features a striking piano-key white glossy finish, which is starkly contrasted by a silver volume control knob and Qosmio AV Controller. Adding to the effect, each control knob is backlit by a halo of blue light.
The Qosmio G45 comes with four Harman Kardon Bass Reflex stereo speakers, a built-in subwoofer, a 1 Bit Digital Amplifier and Dolby Home Theater technology.
This speaker configuration dramatically enhances the visual experience by delivering a sophisticated suite of audio technologies, such as Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Live, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Headphone and Dolby Virtual Speaker. As a result you have the freedom and flexibility to enjoy rich surround sound in a variety of playback environments as well as more vivid and engaging experiences from a user’s favorite music, HD movies and games.
The Qosmio G45-AV680 sports a stunning 17-inch diagonal widescreen with Ultimate TruBrite display and it delivers an image resolution of 1080p.
You can connect the Qosmio’s HDMI port to a High Definition TV to expand the functionality of your home entertainment center. Once connected to an HD TV, the Qosmio G45 can deliver a 1080p movie with all of the quality you would expect from HD DVD. Additionally the Qosmio includes the TOSHIBA USB HDTV Tuner, an external device for viewing and recording live high definition TV from an antenna, satellite set-top box or cable line.
Qosmio & Gaming
The Qosmio G45 features NVIDIA’s GeForce 8600M GT GPU, which empowers you to take full advantage of Microsoft’s cutting-edge DirectX 10 graphics technology to deliver modern visual effects.
The DirectX 10 enabled NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT graphics card propels next-generation games to new heights of realism by producing realistic textures in hair, facial and body features, while providing a richly detailed environment for an immersive gaming experience.
The Qosmio G45-AV680 incorporates the draft 802.11n wireless protocol. For users, this new wireless technology delivers transfer speeds up to five times3 faster than the previous 802.11g standard.
To maximize the functionality of the Qosmio and its HD DVD-R drive, the digital lifestyle application Ulead DVD MovieFactory for TOSHIBA has been included.
Ulead DVD MovieFactory software lets you add the finishing professional touch to personal films and home movies that were originally captured using an HD or digital camcorder by burning them onto an HD DVD complete with graphical menus and chapter markers.
