    In Europe , not quite up to sale yet , but the spec are out there , as well as a product tour , it looks like a UFO and probably cost like one .

    The fact that its up at Europe first suggests a high price tag , my ( humble ) guess the cost will be at least 3500$-4000$ .

    Considering the specs are good but not amazing , and that you can get better speced Notebooks for a lot less , that comes to about 100$ per each of the 20+- blue leds that thing has .

    It does look like a very high quality product with many media ports , designed to be in your living room as a tv , only they really went too far on this and in addition to the reflective screen , it has black reflective case (!) , no more wondering who touched your prescious computer while you're gone , just dust for finger prints ..

    holy cow, 160GB of hard drive space (via two drives), 17" screen, Go 6600 card with 128MB of memory and Pentium M 2.0GHz. Yeah, this thing is going to cost half the price of a car. Nice though [8D]

    thanks for the post and link!

    Qosmio G20s are offered here in Moscow, Russia for US$3470.00 +/- a few bucks

    What's the use of worrying?

    I saw the Canadian version of the G20 and it only had a 1.86 Centrino with two 60GB hard drives.

    maybe they'll update it or something....

    The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that is has never tried to contact us.
