Powerful New Toshiba Qosmio is World’s First Notebook with HD DVD-R/RW Drive
Toshiba’s Digital Products Division (DPD), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., today announced the availability of the Qosmio® G45-AV690 —the latest iteration of its cutting-edge high-definition notebook computer series— and world’s first notebook to feature an HD DVD-R/RW optical drive.
The drive can also play today’s most popular HD DVD movies in the highest quality possible. While today’s DVD format has a maximum playback resolution of 480p, next-generation HD DVD represents the convergence of high-definition with the widespread appeal of the DVD format. HD DVD Technology provides an unsurpassed experience with an image resolution that is up to six times sharper. The end result is a visual experience with brighter colors, enhanced details and greater overall image sharpness.
