Toshiba recently announced the Qosmio F25-AV205, an affordable "four-in-one" digital entertainment notebook with a new attractive design and upgraded features. It's scheduled to be available in July 2005 for $1,999, with a 15.4-inch diagonal widescreen TruBrite display, Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and integrated TV tuner, digital video recorder (DVR), read/write DVD/CD player, virtual surround-sound stereo and all the capabilities of a powerful, full-featured notebook PC.
Starting under eight pounds, Qosmio F25-AV205 features a new digital convergence design, including a sleek black finish, large volume dial that can be accessed when the unit is closed, stylized edging and black control buttons.
Upgraded features inside include a 100 GB 5400 rpm hard drive, 1024 MB DDR2 memory, NVIDIA GeForce 6 GO 6600 graphics accelerator with 64 MB DDR SDRAM, and a fixed DVD SuperMulti Double Layer drive compatible with current DVD formats. The optical drive can nearly double storage capacity in DVD+R format.
"The Qosmio F25-AV205 offers all the quality and `four-in-one' AV functionality associated with the Qosmio line at an extremely reasonable price," said Taro Hiyama, vice president of marketing for Toshiba's Digital Products Division. "Movies, music, television, gaming, Internet and personal computing converge in a portable device for the entire family."
