Product Summary
Toshiba Qosmio G45-AV680 (Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Vista Ultimate)
price range: $3,049.99
Toshiba's high-end Qosmio G45-AV680 is great for movies and multimedia, and its unique onboard controls are fun to use--but the recordable HD DVD drive seems like an expensive splurge few will need.
