Pros: Largest screen on any laptop. Quick boot and shutdown. More than adequate storage. More than capable of holding its own as a desktop replacement. It is beautiful. Loaded updates as soon as I connected to the internet. Loaded drivers for my printer and scanner without much input from me.

Cons: It is big. It is heavy. Even the included AC equipment is large and heavy. It will get hot if you don't prepare for it. You need a large bag to move it and someone with big arms to carry it very far for you. Doesn't like my old software 90's. Both are highly recommended to prevent damage to the unit. Did I say it is a beautiful pc? Newegg delivered in two days. Most software sold since will work just great on this pc.

BF2 and Bad Company 2 on highest settings with no problems. Cons: OS is loaded on SDD, Which with a few small things added fills up quickly, but when coming to loads, is extremely fast.

But, not like you can carry around your tower gaming rig easier than this. Overall Review: As long as you can handle the weight, this laptop will do what ever you want it to do. Overall Review: After 6 months, the laptop started overheating, but still being able to play StarCraft at Ultra in 4v4s with 40 fps. After a month or so of the laptop running hotter than it should, I sent it in to get fixed.

It could barely eek out the lowest settings in 1v1s on StarCraft. I have thus contacted Toshiba as of yesterday. Currently, this laptop is useless to me. I am going to try to reinstall Windows, but I'm guessing that it is a hardware problem. I have heard many terrible things about this model the Q specifically and how the heatsink wasn't seating properly, and how there's only TWO cooling fans for the whole laptop. I will invest in a cooling pad as soon as possible as well, but there is something else wrong.

Pros: Bought this machine to use as my primary source of enterainment while overseas, and it has far surpassed my expectations. I've never seen anything like the solid state drive. It ensures the fastest and smoothest boot-ups and shutdowns I've ever experienced; the i7 processor is lightning fast; Windows 7 is extremely robust and stable; and the picture and video on this machine is unmatched in its class.

When playing Call of Duty: World at War at x , we could see such fine details as the grain in wood while getting very playable rates of 36 fps. However, the Alienware M17x From 50 feet, the X showed poor connectivity, achieving a throughput of just 8.

However, getting to percent took an additional , for a total time of During charging the system used You wouldn't expect an The Qosmio X comes bundled with a number of useful applications. Microsoft Works 9 provides scaled-down word processing, spreadsheet, and database apps. In addition to these third-party apps, there are a number of bundled Toshiba utilities. Toshiba Recovery Media Creator lets you burn system rescue discs. Toshiba ConfigFree manages network connections.

There's also a Toshiba facial recognition program, which we don't recommend using. In general, we find that facial recognition software takes a lot longer than simply typing in a password; in our tests, it took about 5 minutes to set up a facial account, which later did not recognize us, even though we were wearing the same glasses and sitting in the same position.

Toshiba's power-saving eco Utility and PC health monitor are the most interesting of its bundled utilities. The eco Utility allows you to see, in real-time, how much power the system is using, and to adjust power settings accordingly. The PC Health Monitor shows the temperature of the CPU, the fan speed, battery status, power consumption, and health of both storage drives. We wish, however, that we were able to control the fan speed manually. Click to enlarge The X comes with a standard one-year warranty on parts and labor.
