Because the Toshiba Qosmio was designed in order to accommodate a 17 inch widescreen display and thus was given generous dimensions, the keyboard has more than enough space to be comfortably fit into the laptop. The layout of the keyboard is a bit unusual, with the “Windows” key positioned in the upright corner and the “Ins” and “Del” keys right next to the space bar. The touchpad’s level of sensitivity seemed a bit lacking to us and its constrained dimensions left us wishing that it was a bit larger

The front accommodates LEDs characterized by easily comprehensible symbols. Underneath the LEDs, we find small switches which are to be slid in order to enable/disable Bluetooth and WiFi.

The laptop has four USB 2.0 ports, two PC Card slots, slots for SD, MS, and XD cards, one i.Link port, minijack connectors, microphone and S/PDIF, an S-Video connector, and finally an HDMI connector.

The Qosmio G30 comes with a number of accessories meant for a multimedia environment. It includes a Windows Media-Center remote control, an infrared receiver that uses the USB interface, a small antenna for the integrated TV tuner, and finally an HDMI cable.
