Unless that thing packs a 12 cell battery, you're mobility wont be that great!
Other than that: It looks great, and the specs are awesome! Its like having an E8400 under the hood!

I would love to no what sought of price were looking at here.

My one cost 3 and a half grand when i bought it just over a year ago i rekon this will be similar price. It cirtainly has awesome specs tho :respect:

Turbo ram is another name for shared memory. For having a GTX Im hoping its not meaning that.

TheGuruStud · Jun 14, 2008

I've only seen the Qosmio series from Saudi Arabia (and they're crap). Does it even exist in the US?

gaming laptops = fail, toshiba = fail

My friend has been kicking himself for the longest for buying an Area-51 m17x. Its the sleekest lappy I've seen in a long time but the 3870 & 8800gt beats it :ohwell:

That's where the price to performance ratio hits the wall - HARD :banghead:

Desktops are forever :rockout:

i agree...i do 90 percent of gaming with my 3870 on a desktop. but my lappie was horribily outdated. let me put it to you this way... it had no internal way to burn cds.. all it was good for was internet/document creation.. and tuning my wrx.. so i upgraded my mobility instead of my desktop.

panchoman · Jun 15, 2008

how the hell is that thing gonna work? work for like 10 mins and burn your lap and then shut off?

cdawall · Jun 15, 2008

well if its anything like the toshiba gaming laptop we cary at bestbuy the thing is built cheap as hell you can tell how cheap it is when you pick it up it just feels like its well cheap which is not how i want a $2000 laptop to feel

Triprift · Jun 15, 2008

Mine would be a similar size to that one and i find quite easy to lug around to lans n mates places try doing that with desktops.

Mussels · Jun 15, 2008

well thats certainly gunna be easy to lug to lan parties.

twicksisted · Jun 15, 2008

pity about the turbo cache memory... that means that it uses system DDRII ram for the graphics... which will mean a lot of stuttering

PVTCaboose1337 · Jun 15, 2008

It burns my eyes! I never have been a fan of Toshiba laptops.

Mussels · Jun 15, 2008

i'm surprised how many people hate Toshiba here... i'm out of touch in the laptop world, but my Pentium 3 laptop still works great to this day.

Yep cooling is a big prob with lappys as its inadequate

with mine i end up elevating it at the back to alow air flow

If manufacturers came up with better cooling then we would see the term desktop replacement being a reality.

Luke · Jun 16, 2008

Looks shiny
My laptop has no battery and is held together with gaffer tape
But it would be way out of my price range

Easy Rhino · Jun 16, 2008

so people buy these gaming laptops to bring to lan parties? why not just buy a good lan case with a sturdy handle? it prolly weights just as much.

some poor, poor people... just cant assemble rigs. i dont mean build, i mean plug the cables in. I know a girl who 'pushed too hard' and her PSU 'burst into flames' sounds fun to me... she'd be a riot at a lan with that rig.

She's on my take home list. If she's dumb enough to do that, she's dumb enough to sleep with me :laugh:
