Toshiba has released a new laptop that is aimed squarely at gamers.
The Qosmio X305-Q708 gaming laptop is Toshiba’s latest product from its gaming line. It features a 17-inch widescreen Trubrite LCD and is powered by an Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-core processor as well as Dual GPU Nvidia graphics chip. If I’m not mistaken this is one of the first laptops to sport a graphics chip in an SLI configuration and coupled with a quad-core processor. The graphics chip is a GeForce 9800M GTS.
To make it a hardier portable gaming machine, the new Qosmio has a solid state hard drive. The 128gb primary drive has a NAND flash memory that can deliver faster access times and transfer rates.
Other features of the Qosmio include: 4GB DDR3 RAM, full-sized keyboard, four Harman Kardon stereo speakers with built-in subwoofer, HDMI and DisplayPort connector, 1.3 megapixel webcam, Wireless USB and USB Sleep-and-charge.
At $4,199.99, this is not for everyone. But for those who can afford it, they will have the meanest laptop on the block.
