Toshiba was kind enough to show us their full range of HD DVD-capable laptops. In the video, we go over the Qosmio $3,000 system which features a full 1080p screen (and looks simply gorgeous) and HDMI output. You can output in straight 1080p to an HD TV over the HDMI out, to glorious, CEC-compatible result. It’s also the world’s first notebook to include a rewritable HD DVD, which may or may not be terribly relevant given the recent mullings over HD DVD.

When I asked about their impression on that though they said they have absolutely no intent of giving up the fight and very much intend to continue to support the format.

Also check out the video to see the Satellite A205--a $899 laptop with an integrated HD DVD player, though no HDMI.
