Toshiba is looking to redefine desktop replacement notebooks with the groundbreaking Qosmio G55. This 18.4-inch model isn’t notable just for its futuristic good looks (a combination of a slick black chassis, LED illumination), but because it’s the first notebook to boast a dedicated Quad Core HD Processor. This enables gesture control, blazing fast video encoding, and more.
Thanks to the dedicated Quad Core HD processor, the G55 is the first notebook that lets users control music and video playback (Toshiba’s DVD player and Media Center), as well as PowerPoint, using just their hands-no remote or keyboard required.
The webcam senses your movement from 3 to 10 feet away and the Quad Core HD processor interprets your hand motions in real time. 
This 10.8 pound desktop replacement also offers a nice array of other high-end feature. The model includes Intel’s next-generation Centrino 2 technology, Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT graphics, 4GB of RAM, dual 250 GB hard drives, stereo speakers and a subwoofer, FM tuner, an 18.4-inch (1680 x 945 pixel) display.
In terms of ports, the G55 serves up plenty: Three Sleep-and-Charge USB ports (for powering gadgets when the system is in sleep mode or powered down), eSata/USB, FireWire, RGB, S/PDIF, a Bridge Media Card slot, an ExpressCard slot, and headphone and mic jacks.
