The Qosimo G25-AV513 notebook had every media lover at Pepcom’s Holiday Spectacular in awe. When you first look at it, you can’t help but love its sleek design. They were playing “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, which looked spectacular on its two lamp widescreen display, which was unbelievably sharp in contrast to the other notebooks sitting beside it.  I was impressed with how little glare there was when viewing the screen at an angle. Beautifully designed SRS TruSurround XT harman/kardon® stereo speakers stood alongside.  Even inside the incredibly loud atmosphere, you could still make out the dialogue in the movie. One feature that really stood out for me in particular was that you would never need to boot up the Windows Media Center OS to even start playing DVDs, CDs or, watch TV. Here are the full specs:
