Toshiba Qosmio G30 Review

Filed under: Blogging, Reviews, Tech — kingkong @ 11:04 pm

Hey monkeys of all ages, today we bring to you, a review of the New Toshiba Qosmio G30! Qosmio 30 is the Rolls-Royce of laptop packing all of the necessities repackaged into a sleek beautiful design couple with high features! Personally I would love to just have to be able to boast about it, and play the HDDVDs. The laptop on many levels been compared to a stereo component system.

It’s also ridiculously heavy—a throwback to the dawn of portable computing. Tipping the scales at just under 5 kilograms, the G30 can technically be hauled along with you wherever you go, but you might throw your back out if it’s a long trip. Compared to the slender 2.5 kg notebook that’s normally in my bag, I found the G30 to be monstrously heavy. Realistically, it’s a desktop PC that can be packed up and moved quickly in a pinch.

Perhaps the reason it weighs so much is that it’s composed of some of the most advanced portable computer technology in the world, including a gorgeous 17-inch TFT TruBrite widescreen LCD with a 1,900 x 1,200 native resolution, Intel Core Duo processors running at 2.0GHz, a pair of 100GB hard drives, memory expansion modules built to accommodate up to 4GB of RAM (though it only ships with 1GB), and a built-in HD-DVD drive—the first of its kind in a notebook PC, and the primary reason why I requested to borrow a demo model in the first place I was very pleased with the quality of the image but the video was extremely choppy! I doubt it has anything to do with the graphics system maybe something to do with the system configuration and other concurrent processes! :shock:

 

The good:

  • HD DVD drive
  • Digital TV tuner
  • Large, high resolution screen
  • Great raw performance
  • Impressive selection of connectivity options

 

The bad:

  • HD DVD drive is an unjustifiably expensive addition
  • Bulky, even for a desktop replacement
  • Poor battery life

 

The bottomline:

Although the benefit of HD DVD is questionable, the Toshiba Qosmio G30 is still the most feature-rich home entertainment notebook we’ve seen to date. I would let this laptop sleep with my miss kong :mrgreen:

Rent-a-Laptop

Filed under: ReviewMe — kingkong @ 4:44 am

Imagine a service that would rent you a laptop, desktop, and even a MAC! Now imagine they would be able to delivery to a thousand cites! And be able to supply different types of applications installed and ready to go for the long haul travel they provide cases and all the necessary accessories! You can also rent desktops for your home and work! For those college student who can’t afford a desktop for school but can afford the month charge which I think is reasonable! Secondly they offer state of the art computers and services, Intel Centrino Duo cores are standard in all models! Computer Rental also provide all kinds of other services such as projectors, photocopiers, and plasmas. Here are a couple of the amazing testimonials they have recieved! :mrgreen:

Computer rentals, laptops, plasma flat screens, copiers, network equipment rentals & projector rentals, delivered to thousands of cities worldwide, with one point of contact, a Tech Travel Agent! Brilliant!

Now the website could use come definite work! Especially since they are providing computing services a good website design would reflect the fact that they know what they are doing! But on the other hand with deals like that, they really don’t have to do much else! :twisted: I would seriously check it out, I am considering renting a MAC for my photo design and compilation project! :cool:

Faster Shutdowns!

Filed under: DIY, Windows — kingkong @ 10:44 pm

Have you ever hit the shutdown button on your computer, when running out of the house. Then come back home the computer is still shutdown, which i personally hate because I pay for my electricity and hydro :evil: . So I recently came across this quick tip that by passes all the systems calls and achieves the goal of actually shutting down your computer in one step. :mrgreen:

Start the windows run program using the Windows Button+R

Then once that is complete type in shutdown -f -t 0 and press run

Then your computer will proceed, to shutdown as fast as possible, with the most limited system calls, and procedures.
