Qosmio Review: Part 1
Posted by Joeb on April 14, 2008
First off, let me start by saying, I have absolutely NO idea exactly how many parts this review will have, but anyway, onto the first part!
System Specs
Ok, so from what I can gather, the laptop has the following:
- 2x 200GB Hard Drives
- Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 (2.40GHz)
- 2GB RAM
- Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT (512Mb w/HDMI out)
- HD DVD-R Drive (i.e. can write HD DVD’s)*
- Intel Wifi 4965
- Harman/Kardon speaker system**
- Bluetooth 2.0
- 17″ Full 1080p HD Screen (actual resolution 1920×1200)
- Array of Touch-Sensitive Buttons
- Fingerprint Reader (I use this to log onto the PC, I think it’s awesome :p, it must be the big kid in me!)
- TV Tuner
- 2.0 Megapixel Built-in Webcam
*I do have an HD-DVD player, so I’ve tried this briefly. Though as I’m sure many are aware, support for HD DVD will be non-existent after around June time. Sad as it is, therefore I hope that future Qosmio models come equipped with a Blu-Ray drive rather than HD-DVD.
**I’ve never heard of Harman/Kardon though I have to say, the speakers on this laptop are BRILLIANT, not just decent for a laptop, they’re really good anyway, and I can safely say, they are the best speakers I have ever heard on a laptop, it even beats a fair few desktops on this! It’s even got a sub-woofer!
Update: Added TV Tuner, Webcam & Fingerprint reader to the list of hardware
