In terms of pure calculation, the Qosmio G30 turns out to be faster than the Turion 64 X2 Tl-60 notebook. The newer Core 2 Duo T2700 solution, in spite of having the same clock, is able to pull ahead of all other competing solutions. The success of the T2700 is most likely a result of having an improved architecture from Intel.

The G30 performed reasonably in the Business Winstone 2004 productivity tests. In Mobile Mark 2005, thanks to its 7050mAh battery, the Qosmio G30 was able to stay alive the longest with a DVD playing.

The 3D benchmarks show that the Qosmio G30 has a general margin of advantage over the ASUS A7TC, both of which are based on the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 chip. Toshiba, however, is rewarded for choosing a higher operating frequency for their video card. The above tests reveal that the Asus F3JA, which is equipped with an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 video chip, ends up having altogether inferior performance compared to the NVIDIA solutions.
