The Good:
Penryn update puts latest Intel CPU in flagship laptop; 17-inch display does 1080p; large volume jogwheel and other media controls increase ease and joy of use; includes external TV tuner and remote

The Bad:
Saddled with HD DVD drive; not configurable

The bottom line:
Toshiba’s high-end Qosmio G45-AV690 is great for movies and multimedia, and its onboard controls are fun to use–but the recordable HD DVD drive means you’re paying extra for a dead technology.
