Another interesting feature of the G30 is its touchpad. Though it may seem to be an ordinary affair at first glance, it is actually not. The touchpad apart from acting as the mouse control, is overlaid with a series of icons that get activated and act as one touch access for programs and commonly used system operations during media center use. This is a nice touch, as it increases the functionality of the media center application by offering a quick launch system, without the need for swapping over to a desktop.
One thing that deserves special mention in the layout of the G30, are the audio speakers and controls. Unlike conventional speakers, the G30 sports a pair of large oversized Harmon / Kardon speakers which are similar in appearance to car satellite speakers. The volume control too, in an interesting departure from the current practice of touchpads, is a large rotary silver knob/dial which is similar to what is found in high-end Hi-Fi systems and CD players. Both combined, give the laptop a different look and feel as compared to the standard fare.
The front panel of the G30 accommodates the HD-DVD drive and has a blue-backlit panel that acts as an indicator for various system operations such as System status, HDD activity, Wi-Fi status and AC status.
I think DELL Inspiron 1720 is better deal with lots more configuration minus integrated TV tuner is available at much cheaper rate
