Toshiba RD-Z1 HDMI DVD and PVR combo: Hubba Hubba!

Filed in archive PVR by william on February 11, 2005

If this is the future of PVR, the future looks pretty bright. The Toshiba RD-Z1is a DVD (8x Recording) and PVR in one, has 600GB of hard drive storage and can record shows with a Variable Bit Rate (VBR) of 24Mbps.

The really cool feature is that It's possible to record two shows simultaneously while watching a DVD. The Toshiba RD-71 also uses the new HDMI digital connection. It was just released in Japan, so no news when or where else we'll see this sweet DVD/PVR combo. [via Sorobangeeks]

The Toshiba Satellite U400/U405 series is a new 13.3\" widescreen notebook that weighs in at just 4.85 pounds and packs solid Intel Core 2 Duo Penryn performance and a big hard drive with plenty of storage space. Add to that a stylish chassis covered in Toshiba\'s new \"Fusion\" finish, 3GB of RAM, a webcam, and fingerprint reader and this notebook starts looking even better. Toshiba calls this notebook a \"compact hero [that] balances working room with carrying comfort.\" Let\'s take a look and see if this laptop is as good as it sounds.
