Toshiba To Offer Laptops With HD-DVD in 2005

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-about-the-sound dept.

LBArrettAnderson writes "Toshiba will release laptops with HD-DVD under its high-end Qosmio brand and plans to ship one million units in the first year to Europe, the U.S. and China, as well as Japan. The company claims the slimline HD-DVD format is more suitable to laptop PCs than the rival Blu-ray Disc format."

    That's a firefox bug, not a Slashcode bug.

    I thought so too, it's already been reported.

  2. Pentium M versus Pentium 4? Can someone explain? by DoorFrame · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ok, this isn't the right place to ask this question, and I'll definately get moded down, but can someone explain to me the difference between a Pentium M and a Pentium 4. I see laptop companies selling what should be high end laptops, one with a Pentium 4 3GHz and one with a Pentium M 1.7GHz.

    Is there something I'm missing about Pentium Ms that make their considerably lower speed not such a big drawback compared to the Pentium 4s? Why, if given the choice, or similar pricing, would anyone choose a Pentium M?

    If someone can help me with this one, it'd be very appreciated.

    Thanks.

    What're you two talking about? I'm using firefox PR1 .0 and it seems to look fine.

    Where's this formatting error?
