Toshiba - 18.4" Qosmio Notebook - 4 GB Memory - 500 GB Hard Drive - Omega Black

I have one complaint. On Best Buy.com it says this laptop has 4 USB's, when in reality it has only 3. two on the right side and one on left. This Machine would make a A+ machine if only the screen was 1080P and LED backlit, but i'm happy overall. I am NOT going to complain about portability bc this is a desktop replacement, if I'd want portability, I'd buy a 13 incher.

Love the backlit keyboard. Wish the keyboard surface wasn't as slick. Screen quality is great except for the glare with sunny days. Very fast with programs & internet. Great support from BestBuy & Geek Squad! Difficult to find a wheeled case related to the 18.4 inch size & other accessories such as a riser. The black & red color combination is awesome. Quiet fan operation & not hot.

With all the goodies inside this machine, it is a value. It is very well built. The keyboard is top notch. The touch pad is among the best. The screen is huge and coloful, but no LED backlighting. The video card is great for media, and above average for gaming, but not a gamers first choice. The problem I had with this unit was unresolvable. It had a cooling system malfunction after 10 minutes of general use, and would not move past this error. I realize that not every unit has this issue, but the ones that do cannot be repaired. I have read many reviews on this unit. I acually believe the issue is with the Nvidia grafics card, but still requires a return. Instead of taking another chance on Toshiba, I went with an Asus G73JH-x3. They offer the best warranty in the business, and don't 3rd party it out like Toshiba. For the same price, you get a lot more in the Asus....1920x1080 res./ awesome cooling system/ much better grafics card (ATI 5870) / 8GB RAM/ LED backlit screen...just to name a few. If you play games, get the Asus, you can't loose. Sorry Toshiba, but 1st impressions do count for something.

I have really been enjoying this laptop, Its kind of heavier than majority of the others I own but for the purpose of gaming and music and watching movies it fits the bill. I would recommend to others to check this one out if they get a chance.

I wanted as big a lap top as I could get after my HP 17" got stolen. This IS BIG! I love everything about it except....to the left of the key board they have the volume controls and media controls. HORRIBLE planning on their part. My left side of my hand is ALWAYS hitting the buttons, soliciting a beep from it and sometimes opening up Windows media player. There is plenty of room at the TOP of the keyboard for these buttons. It is so bad I have often thought of taking it back because it is soooo iritating. Also small side note, when battery fully extinquishes, and you recharge it for hours...it will not turn on, you must remove and re-insert the battery! I called the Toshiba help desk who told me sounds like a bad battery and I could swap it out under warranty. I asked if we could do it over the phone and he said NO. I must get on line. THat began a fight seeing how I was on hold for 20 minutes before hand. I told him to get me to someone who could do it over phone and I refused to get on line and go thru a bunch of hubbub to get this resolved, especially since he couldnt even give the information I needed to direct me WHERE on Toshibas web site to go. I dont have another 20 minutes to SEARCH for the right link. Other than that, the laptop is top notch.

after reading the specs on it, well, its a little over priced. Umm. you have the asus g60jx, and there are 3 differences. 1- smaller display 2- 2 core cpu 3- 650 dollars less umm. Its a great computer, dont think about using it for school, or travel. Too huge, heavy, no battery life. This is for someone who wants to play games and Lan parties. Over all, The nvidia 360m is a great GPU, the best single core mobile graphics chip out there. The I7 is a wonderful cpu, extremely fast, very well engineered. The rest is just about what your looking for. Do you need all of the usb ports, do you kno what an e-sata port is? just dont react to this notebook unless you know what your doing.

This machine is amazing. It's sleek and sexy exterior only gently masks the raw caged power living inside.

I am very disappointed in this unit because first it will not stay plugged in. The slightest movement of the unit will cause the plug to come out of the side of the unit and if you move the power supply the plug will come disconnected from there. The keys are way to slick and flat for typing. The media keys on the side are always getting accidentally bumped as well. If it were not for the Best Buy restocking fee, this unit would have been returned. I do not like it.
