Just in time to exploit FIFA World Cup fever, Toshiba have released what could be the multimedia mothership. Now you can watch the exploits of Ronaldinho and Rooney, and witness Peter Crouch's robot dance goal celebration on the G35-AV600's gorgeous wide-screen.
The ToshibaQosmio G35-AV600 is the self-proclaimed top multimedia notebookon the market. It's not exaggerating by much. One look at its17-inch wide-screen display, with the latest in high-glosscoating and a WXGA+ and 1,440 x 900-pixel resolution, and you'llknow that this laptop is for viewing pleasure. With this display,size does matter, but so does how Toshiba backs it up withtechnological know-how. The QosmioEngine video enhancement helpsto clarify the picture, while Ultimate TruBrite help to providebrightness with dual-lightbacklighting.But youneed to be able to tap into that display to enjoy it, and theToshiba is loaded to bear with ports and apps to maximize itsmultimedia uses. First, there's an antenna port that works alongwith the integrated TV tuner, or for Sopranos and other cable TVprograms, use the TV coaxial cable adapter. To orchestrate yourmultimedia tooling around, the Qosmio G35comes with the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center operatingsystem, as well as software for burning DVDs and music, photo,and data CDs.
It's also the little things that do it. For one-touch fun, theToshiba Qosmio G35 features 12 multimedia buttons, as well as anamazingly simple innovation, a volume dial that can even be usedwhile the laptop is shut. And get this-the touchpad can beprogrammed so that a touch in a certain spot can launch yourfavorite app, on another spot, open the Start menu. For securityfreaks, there's also a fingerprint reader.
It's the big things that do it, too. This Toshiba wouldn't be number one in multimedia laptops if not for its'dual-core Intel 1.83-GHz T2400 processor. It wouldn'tquite be so quick without its 1 GB of DDR2, and its displaysurely wouldn't perform as well as it does without the aid of anNvidia GeForce Go 7300 with 256MB of its own GDDR2 memory.
If you're a business road warrior or college student seeking aportable notebook then shelling out for the hunky 10.1 pound Qosmio35 probably isn't a good idea. But if you're looking for adesktop replacement multimedia monster, that could even replaceyour television and home entertainment center (just in time forthe world cup), this laptop could be right up your techalley.

While surfing discussion boards for a solution, I stumbled upon a comment about the Toshiba Repair Program for G35-AV650, AV660 and AV670 models. Check it out at http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/outFrm.jsp?ofId=AskIris&searchString=GPU+Repair+Program&x=12&y=10
I called Toshiba Support (1-800-457-7777) to get my AV650 fixed, but after some conversation, the rep said they wouldnât fix it for free because the second year of automatic warranty for this problem had lapsed.
So I called the closest Toshiba Authorized Service Provider (150 miles away) January 2010 and asked them about the problem. The person answering the phone put me through to Eric, the technician, who knew exactly what the problem was. (He said that Toshiba notified itâs Service Provider partners (his shop), but not customers, and that if they came across this issue they were authorized to replace the mother board with its graphics chipset at no cost to the customer.) Eric said that Toshiba probably wasnât honoring that anymore and I would have to pay about $790 plus labor for a new mother board (the earlier chipset is in material that overheats and fries the chipset), but that heâd ask his Toshiba rep about it.
He called me back the next day saying that, owing to increased and continuing customer complaints, Toshiba authorized him to fix it for free. I simply UPS-ed it to him in Modesto, CA, and Eric did the rest.
I thought about calling Toshiba Support back and, with Ericâs info, arguing with them to fix it, but since Eric went out of his way and he knew about the problem and how to fix it, I just shipped it to him to fix. Contact him at enugent at itscurrie.com.
One week later I have my machine back with a chipset thatâs less likely to get fried. WONDERFUL ! Thanks, Eric!
