My personal universe. Qosmio, derived from the words “the cosmos” and “mine”, is the name behind which all Toshiba multimedia notebook PCs are branded. Not only does Qosmio have a “deeper meaning”, it is also an acronym that represents the main characteristics of all Toshiba portable multimedia systems offered by them:
-Qosmio Core Technologies: QosmioEngine and QosmioPlayer
-Outstanding TV and entertainment on the TruBrite LCD
-Superlative audio
-Mobile computing platform
-Intuitive User Interface
-Optical playback/recording and HDD recording capabilities
As can be expected, this ambitious philosophy employs many of the latest technologies available to notebooks, and so it naturally cannot skip over the possibility of high definition. When combining Toshiba and high-definition, we get the result of HD-DVD.

The Toshiba Qosmio G30 is a desktop replacement notebook PC that we will be analyzing in the course of this article. Although HD-DVD has been on the market for a little while, the Qosmio G30 is the first notebook PC that we are reviewing that is available for retail. The Toshiba Qosmio G30 is also called "a portable lounge". The notebook’s 17 inch widescreen display and weight that exceeds 4kg can attest to that name.
