Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850 is a truly android laptop, that is having double HDDs, one is having the capacity of 320GB 7,200rpm, whilst its secondary HDD has the capacity of 64GB, that means it provides different alternatives, in case one option doesn’t work, the second recourse is there to make the system operational at any cost, that is truly great!
This latest series X505-Q850 has always been the company’s experimental playground for high-end systems, from massive gaming rigs to inventive multimedia home theater laptops. While there were a lot of interesting ideas there, you often ended up with slightly overpriced systems with out-of-date video cards or non-functioning Webcam hand gesture controls.
This newest series has refocused the brand on gaming power packing in a new mobile Intel Core i7 CPU and Nvidia’s GeForce GTS 250M graphics card (not the very top of the line, but close). While toning down, at least slightly, the over-the-top red flame designs of old.
Toshiba Qosmio adds an 18in 1080p screen, it’s no surprise our review unit included a Blu-ray drive (a bandwagon Toshiba has been reluctant to join, as it was the driving force behind HD-DVD).Those features, (plus a second solid-state hard drive) makes for a system that costs $1,899–not much compared with the tricked-out Alienware laptops of old, but considered very high-end in today’s Netbook-obsessed laptop market.
Few of the laptop producers like HP, Asus, and others also have Core i7 gaming rigs in the works, which might be worth considering if you want a Core i7 and high-end graphics, without paying for Blu-ray, the SSD drive, and other pricey features.
The framework of Qosmio X505 is an evident breakthrough, relatively to earlier Qosmio systems–it shares the same high-contrast red/black palette and rounded chassis, although it has less of a clamshell-like feel than previous versions. It’s still positively huge, and weighs more than 10 pounds, even without the power adaptor. Despite the laptops heft, the back of its lid flexed easily under our fingers–we wouldn’t rest anything too heavy on the closed lid.
