Toshiba outs Qosmio X870 gaming laptop
Though it hasn't been announced here in the US, UK-based site TechDigest is showing us the first photo of the Qosmio X870, which seems to have a rather reined-in design compared to previous Toshiba gaming machines we've seen (to the extent that a PC with red accents can ever be called staid).
According to the site, its specs include a 17.3-inch, 1080p, 3D-capable display; the "latest" Intel processors; unspecified, next-gen NVIDIA GPUs with 3GB of video memory; and up to either 2TB in HDD storage or a (presumably smaller) hybrid SSD.
Rounding out the list, the laptop is said to rock Bluetooth 4.0, four USB 3.0 sockets (including two with Toshiba's Sleep-and-Charge technology), HDMI, Harman Kardon speakers, an optional Blu-ray player and that all-important LAN port. Sounds good to us, though as of this writing we've yet to see a press release posted on any of Toshiba's regional or global sites.
If TechDigest's report is on the money, though, this thing should land sometime in Q2, which means Tosh has a few months yet to clarify that minor pricing question.

I still think that if you want a gaming computer, you should really get a proper PC.
ReplyDeleteWhat Zyu said, gamging laptops are a bad idea unless you absolutely must have mobile pc gaming.
ReplyDeleteDang, that's a pretty cool laptop.
ReplyDeleteThat's some nice trim on there
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize it before but you're focusing on technological gadgets now? I didn't expect this kind of outcome.
ReplyDeleteI'd also third that, and go with a desktop PC.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to get one as a present, but buying...I don't think it's worth it. Much more value can be gained with a PC. So it's only good if you travel a lot!
