Ok! So we all know HD-DVD is dead and we all know that you can pick up a HD-DVD player super cheap, with the 360 version selling for abour £20-£40. What you might not know, is that Toshiba are also selling those fancy HD-DVD laptops cheap, well stores that sell them are anyway...
I know because I got a superb 17" HD-DVD Rom laptop that would not be worth my time had I not already had some HD-DVD movies and TV shows to watch on it, and with all those firesales of HD discs I've ordered more movies as they are a few £ each so now I have a nice backup HD drive for my discs. (got the laptop March 28)
I got the HD-DVD version of Feast yesterday so that was nice timing to go along with my new laptop
Here's the specs, athough the price was much much lower:P
So anyway, I'm loving this laptop, it's amazing infact. Amazing screen, amazing playback quality of the HD drive, HDMI out, optical out, this baby has it all, well maybe not it ALL, but for the few hundred squids I got it for it has more than its fair share..
One thing that surpised me though was Vista (I have Premium ed). I've held off getting a new desktop PC because of vista. My desktop PC still works like a dream, but since I do a lot of photo editing and video work I was in need of something with just a little more power, but all the bad Vista reviews put me off. Well I don't know why I was so worried because I LOVE VISTA, sure it's taken me a few days to get used to some things but the pros more than make up for any cons.
I'll be keeping XP on both my desktop PC and my old laptop but if you have a PC with enough power then Vista sure is very nice.
So be sure to lookout for those super cheap HD-DVD laptops...Oh yea baby!!:D
