Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850 review: Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850

 

Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850

Top-of-the-line components, including Intel Core i7; second solid-state hard drive; massive 18-inch 1080p display.

Expensive; tiny touch pad; surprisingly cramped keyboard; mute button beeps loudly when pressed.

Toshiba revives its Qosmio gaming line with the high-end X505. It has everything from Blu-ray to an Intel Core i7 CPU, but it also carries a premium price.

Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850

 

The Toshiba Quosmio X505-Q850 is first out of the gates with a mobile Core i7 processor, and it's fast. We give you an exclusive preview.

Gorgeous 18.4-inch, 1,920-by-1,080 resolution screen. Core i7 CPU. LED backlit keyboard. Solid multimedia test performance. Cheaper than comparable laptops.

Trailed in gaming performance. So-so battery life.

Review Toshiba Qosmio X500 Notebook (GeForce GTX 460M)

 

Back in Game. The Qosmio X500 was supposed to be the flagship gam

Good loudspeakers; Blu-Ray burner; Lavish connectivity; Fast graphics card; Good application performance; Fan dissipates towards the rear

Sensitive high-gloss surfaces; Dark and reflective display; Very warm under load

The Asus G73JW is one of the first notebooks with the new GTX 460M graphics, beside the Toshiba Qosmio. Apart from that, gamers with HD5870 graphics cards: MSI GX740, Deviltech 9700 DTX, Asus G73JH and Medion Akoya X7811 based on MSI.

Review Toshiba Qosmio X500-121 Notebook

 

Let the games begin. The X500, an 18.4-inch desktop replacement, has already found its way into our editorial office before the review even began. Toshiba recently updated the graphics card, insisting on scrapping the planned GeForce GTS 250M and...

Excellent performance in applications, Good gaming performance, Great sound quality, Blu-Ray burner, Prolific connectivity, The Core i7-720QM together with the GeForce GTS 360M ensure that games and applications run at their peak

Sensitive high-gloss surfaces, Very warm under stress, Disappointing display (contrast, black value and viewing angle), The high-gloss chassis surfaces are very sensitive, quickly smudged and easily dirtied

Toshiba Qosmio x500-11g

 

Toshiba's Qosmio marvel is a rig for the enthusiast and will eat anything that you throw at it. Fired up in 'precious black' and red it is also the most stylish desktop replacement around

If you want a fully-fledged desktop replacement that packs serious performance and features the Qosmio X500-11G is for you.
