Yesterday, without big surprise, Toshiba has fired first, and has announced that it will release the first HD-DVD equipped notebook in May.

The Qosmio G30/697H features a 17" HD display with 1920x1200 pixels resolution. It is powered by a Core Duo T2500 clocked at 2GHz, nVidia GPU GeForce Go 7600 with 128 MB of VRAM and has space to install 2 2,5" HD that can be use in RAID 0 to enhance data transfer speed.
The optical drive will of course play HD-DVD (AACS codec), but will also be able to burn DVD and CD.
It will cost you around 400,000 Yen or 3000 Euros.
Today Fujitsu announces that it would launch desktop personal computers, as well as notebook, equipped with Blu-Ray drives in June in Japan. So Fujitsu could be the first company to release PC featuring the next generation DVD format drive Blu-Ray.
SO we can now understand why the MacBook Pro 17" has been delayed... Is Apple waiting for the first compatible Blu-Ray drive to come?
Tout ceci nous donne envie de voir arriver le MacBook Pro 17" !
