Can Toshiba's Quad Core HD processor make up for the lack of a Blu-ray drive?

Toshiba Qosmio G50-127 review

Has Toshiba struck a balance between laptop performance and budget?

Great connectivity ; Decent performance ; Good image quality...

...shame about the sub-1080p resolution ; Build quality and usability is dodgy ; Expensive for the performance

A good budget option, but seriously outperformed by high-end rivals

Toshiba Qosmio G50-115 review

Toshiba's multimedia system is a great all-rounder, but has no Blu-ray drive

18.4 inch screen ; Performance ; TV Tuner

No Blu-ray ; Screen not 1080p

With its massive size and cool performance this laptop would suit all but the most demanding users

Toshiba Qosmio G50-127 notebook

Toshiba's Qosmio range has long been at the forefront when it comes to high-end multimedia laptops, but has recently lapsed with the death of HD DVD and widespread adoption of Sony's Blu-ray technology. The Qosmio G50-127 is a good machine, but it...

Outstanding keyboard, great everyday performance

Still no support for Blu-ray, screen could be sharper

The Qosmio G50-127 is a good machine, but it doesn’t take the Qosmio line any further and no longer sets the pace when it comes to technology. That said, it’s still a lot of machine for the money, and if you want a laptop to replace your desktop PC...

Toshiba Qosmio G50-115 notebook

Over the past few years Toshiba's Qosmio range has led the field when it comes to multimedia laptops. Following the death of HD DVD, however, and Toshiba's pigheadedness in refusing to adopt Blu-ray, can the latest Qosmio laptops compete with high-end...

Great performance, comfort, features

No Blu-ray support, heavy

The Qosmio G50-115 is a great laptop, but it’s difficult not to feel let down by the lack of true HD support. With rivals all offering Blu-ray drives in their laptops, Toshiba’s current conviction that DVD upscaling is the way to go smacks of...

Toshiba Qosmio G50-10H notebook

The Toshiba Qosmio range of high-end multimedia notebooks has always been a little bit different, as it tries to mix unique style with some of the latest mobile technologies around. The Toshiba Qosmio G50-10H is a great machine and the asking price is...

Powerful, great design, fantastic features

No Blu-ray

The Toshiba Qosmio G50-10H is a great machine and the asking price is fairly reasonable for the specification and features on offer. We enjoyed using it and would have made it a Hot Product but for one fact: no Blu-ray.

Toshiba Qosmio G50

Apple have a level of touch, Microsoft have their Surface, and we've got all manner of touchscreens beginning to take the place of the mouse in some of the coolest ways.

Toshiba Qosmio G50

The Qosmio G50 series is Toshiba's cutting-edge laptop featuring the very latest in entertainment technology. The huge 18.4-inch screen is perfect for watching movies. High gloss finish with a sleek latchless design also makes this laptop look as good...
