Toshiba - Qosmio Laptop with Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P7350 - Rogue

Wow i was blown away when i saw the price for this laptop at $1000...i had a toshiba satellite i got two years ago and paid $1400 for it and it had half the performance of this computer(2gb ram, 3.2 performance score, 1.6ghz processor)...i had the new computer optimized by the geek squad which removes all of the junk that you will never use off of it and gives you like 40% more power...they also installed trend micro virus/spyware which doesn't slow your computer as much as norton does...this computer is the best laptop i've ever used in my life!!!...it's so fast...with a 5.0 perfromance score...i mean some say some cons are lack of bluray player but that's what my tv and playstation3 are for...lol...also the battery life thing is bad on most any laptop that's any good...just leave it plugged in...i mean anywhere you go to use a computer has outlets right...only place that may not is a plane....but i rarely fly...maybe 2 times in my whole life...so i guess if you fly alot don't get this computer...plus it's kinda big to be carrying around like that anyways...but the weight thing is not an issue at all to me...it's not heavy at all...just heavier than what people are used to with smaller laptops...but it's easy to move it around from place to place..the sound on this computer is awesome...best i've heard on a laptop ever...it's so nice to be able to hear the bass in music and such thx to the subwoofer...they had the gateway computer for a little more money with a 5.2 performance score due to the 2.2ghz processor and it had 9800 graphics card...but when i looked at the screen it didn't look any better than the toshiba to me..the gateway had a 5.2 on processor where as the toshiba has 5.0 ...but the disk data tansfer rate was higher on the toshiba...probably cuz of the ddr3 ram where as the gateway has ddr2...so really there isn't much difference between these small differences so don't get caught up in that...i know the toshiba is a great product and i've heard many complaints about gateways...just my two cents...anyways...i wasn't crazy bout the flames at first and the shiny red but i love it now...the lights and such...has really grown on me..i think it's cool that toshiba is spicing things up and not just making all their computers look exactly the same...i mostly use the computer alot for 3D chat games...and the graphics look amazing and you can do several things at once with no lagging...i mean i open a web page it's like automatic...very little load time at all....also doing downloads is really fast...twice as fast as my old computer so i'm very very satisfied...and it was $400 cheaper!!!..get one if you can find one...there is only 1 left at the best buy i got mine at

Now I build computers (desktops) and I have to say this computer has a lot that stands out, from speed, to multitasking, and definitely gaming for such a great price for a laptop. I can run Crysis 1400x900 on high at about 8-12 frames per second. Now it doesn't sound all that great, but a laptop that can run Crysis on that high of graphics and have a fairly good frame rate is insanely great. This computer can and will run every game you put into it, wither it's Crysis, World in Conflict, or Supreme Commander. For the price right now (1,399) its a perfect computer for those who want to LAN, on the road, or anything of that nature. I don't know why some people are having problems with it not running up to par, but this computers handles things like if they were feathery pillows, minimizing out and going back into programs without much, or any delay. Hard drive being only 200 GB isn't so bad, I mean if you don't use a program, uninstall it. The only bad thing is the processor speed being low (maybe a 2.2 processor would do it for me) other then that small little thing, this thing is excellent, and is tackling everything I throw at it. Simiply put if you want a fairly cheap but good gaming, or media laptop. This is it.

i bought my qosmio about a month ago from bestbuy. and since i bought it it was having a problem with the booting. the screen was going black, windows was never coming up. at the time i was a little bit lazy and did not care about it until today. today i called toshiba support and they recommend me to download and install the new bios which is version 1.30 and my problem was solved. so, for the ones who are interested in this model, i strongly recommend to upgrade their bios as soon as possible. otherwise you'll gonna have the same booting problem as i had before. except that, i am realy happy with my new toy. the only thing is its 2.0 ghz cpu. which is a little bit slow when you compare the rest of the equipment this computer have but in the end i bought this computer for gaming. 4gb ram & the vga card is quite outstanding in the games and in my opinion which is most required for games instead if cpu. another point is, to use the 4gb ram, you have to use windows 64bit. you may face problems with some old or small programs . just be sure about 64bit if you are going to use specific software. otherwise you may have to install 32bit and probably going to use 4gb ram about 3.25gb. anyway, i am getting full performance from this computer and i am glad. have fun.

When this monster first came on the scene in late July, I almost bought it but decided the price was out of my league. I had researched it thourghly. When I saw the reduced price, I literally ran to the store. I am quite pleased. I'm not much into gaming, but my grandson is. I can't wait for him to try it. I'll hook it up to the big screen with the hdmi connection and let him enjoyl I do photo editing, and the display is sooo.. crisp. The only reason I rated performance a 4.0 was because of the battery life. I'm pretty much always close to a plug-in, so that won't be a problem with me. On first boot, you have the option to use either 64 bit or 32 bit. I chose the 64 bit, with a little skeptism, but all my software has worked perfectly. I could have done without the red and the flames, but it grows on you. My wife loves the color. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that doesn't have to have prolonged battery life. That is, if you can still find one.

I'm a medical coder who works from home. My last two computers have both had issues with overheating and shutting down. So, after I lost two hours worth of work when my old computer shut down and didn't save as it usually did, I decided that enough was enough. I was going to buy a new gaming computer, because if any computer needs to stay cool it's one that's meant for games. This is the absolute best computer I've ever owned. Before I bought it, I researched and found that the price was fantastic when you add in all of the "perks" this computer has. (I bought it on sale.) I'm positive that I don't use this computer to its fullest potential, but, even with all of the images I scan through, I'm definitely not worried about it overheating. It stays cool....always. The battery doesn't last long and I'm not crazy about the flame design on the front, but, since this one has the processor speed, memory, screen size, and FANS that I need I guess I can handle a little "gansta" as my children call it. lol I also work with it plugged in...so the battery is no problem. I guess another problem is the electrical plug in the back. It comes loose and disconnects very easily. Once again, not a big deal, but it does get annoying having to plug it back in all the time. All in all it's an awesome buy and an awesome computer. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!! I LOVE mine!!!

Great desktop replacement and a very nice gamming laptop, you can’t beat the value you get for the price you pay. I was looking for some a laptop that would let me play my games while at the same time not costing me an arm and a leg and the QosmioX305 fit the bill just right. It Plays games just as well as my friends Alienware laptop and coast half as much as his did, he was not very happy about that part. Pros: Good Video display / graphic card combo. Decent Intel Chip and the option to install Vista 32 or 64 bit OS was a very nice touch. The flame paint job (might not be for everyone). Cons: Battery Life (one Hour) and Weight (9 lbs.) make true on the go gamming a bit hard. (That’s why I consider this bad boy a desktop replacement). I am very happy with this laptop.

Wow is what any gamer will say when they see this laptop in action. the GPU is amazing, the CPU might not seem like a lot but it is very powerful. The speakers combined with the subwoofer will give any expensive sound system run for its money. The laptop is quiet, powerful and good looking. The first test for the laptop was running crysis. It ran the game on half very high rest on high without a single fps of lag. This is an amazing deal for a laptop with such performance. Truly an amazing piece of equipment. The battery life is a bit short but for a reason. The cooling itself of this machine probably requires a lot of power. The speakers also take a lot not to say the beautiful screen that this work of art comes with.

I've only had this laptop for two weeks and I absolutely love it. It's a very powerful machine, easily handling all my business and personal needs. For business, I use it for email, MS Word, MS Excel and Quickbooks. My family and I have also been using it to play games, watch DVD's/digital movies, and listen to mp3's. The battery life is comparable with similar laptops. Simply a great machine at a great price. i'm thinking of picking up a second machine for my wife.
