CNET Review
The Good: Crisp display; complete set of A/V controls, ports, and connections, including an HD-DVD drive.
The Bad: Expensive; somewhat dim display; cramped keyboard and no separate number pad; bulky and heavy, even for a desktop replacement.
The Bottom Line: The Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV660 continues to deliver the most complete multimedia experience available in a laptop, but at least one other laptop delivers similar features at a much lower price.
