CNET Review
The Good: Bright, crisp display; complete set of A/V controls, ports, and connections, including built-in TV tuner and high-end audio features; Core Duo CPU delivers powerful performance; slot-loading, double-layer DVD burner; excellent software.
The Bad: Subpar gaming performance; display resolution could be higher; small touch pad and mouse buttons; no separate number pad; no touch pad on/off button; bulky and heavy, even for a desktop replacement.
The Bottom Line: With the Qosmio G35-AV600, Toshiba delivers a best-in-class multimedia experience that's built on a state-of-the-art set of components and includes virtually every feature under the sun.
