CNET Review
The Good: Attractive design; bright, crisp display; complete set of ports and connections including built-in TV tuner; power performance, yet runs cool and quiet; slot-loading, double-layer DVD burner; excellent software and support.
The Bad: Pricey; bulky and heavy; small touch pad and mouse buttons; no touch pad on/off button; lesser battery life than other desktop replacements.
The Bottom Line: Combining TV, DVR, stereo, DVD player, and high-performance PC in one big laptop, the Toshiba Qosmio G25-AV513 delivers the most complete multimedia experience available in a laptop.
