Toshiba’s new laptops have a neat trick: each Qosmio Centrino-based notebook comes with a WiFi TV Router (either in a bundle or as an option) that will stream TV wireless to the laptop (and still provide wireless internet, natch). As a singular feature, it’s maybe not so mind-boggling, but I’m much more down for a laptop that doubles as a wireless TV than a standalone wireless TV. Japan-only for the moment, but with the serious US presence that Toshiba has in the laptop market, I’d expect to see a similar offering here before too long.
