System Specs

Ok, so from what I can gather, the laptop has the following:

  • 2x 200GB Hard Drives
  • Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 (2.40GHz)
  • 2GB RAM
  • Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT (512Mb w/HDMI out)
  • HD DVD-R Drive (i.e. can write HD DVD's)*
  • Intel Wifi 4965
  • Harman/Kardon speaker system**
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • 17" Full 1080p HD Screen (actual resolution 1920x1200)
  • Array of Touch-Sensitive Buttons
  • Fingerprint Reader (I use this to log onto the PC, I think it's awesome :p, it must be the big kid in me!)
  • TV Tuner
  • 2.0 Megapixel Built-in Webcam

*I do have an HD-DVD player, so I've tried this briefly. Though as I'm sure many are aware, support for HD DVD will be non-existent after around June time. Sad as it is, therefore I hope that future Qosmio models come equipped with a Blu-Ray drive rather than HD-DVD.

**I've never heard of Harman/Kardon though I have to say, the speakers on this laptop are BRILLIANT, not just decent for a laptop, they're really good anyway, and I can safely say, they are the best speakers I have ever heard on a laptop, it even beats a fair few desktops on this! It's even got a sub-woofer!

Update: Added TV Tuner, Webcam & Fingerprint reader to the list of hardware
