Toshiba Qosmio X775 Review

The Qosmio is Toshiba's top-end multimedia and gaming notebook line. This latest iteration sports a striking design, 1.5GB graphics card, and dual hard drives. Is it any better than previous generations? Read our review to find out.Our Toshiba Qosmio X775-Q7272 has the following specifications: The processor and graphics listed above are enthusiast-level specifications; this notebook is clearly designed for gaming and high-end multimedia use. The 500GB hard drives are relatively small considering 640GB, 750GB, and 1TB drives are becoming mainstream. The biggest issue with these specifications is the low 1600x900 screen resolution; a multimedia notebook, especially one with a Blu-ray drive, should have 1920x1080 (1080p) native resolution. As it stands, this notebook can't properly display Blu-rays as they are intended to be played. Build and DesignThe most objective way to describe the Qosmio X775's design is "controversial." I'm certain some potential buyers will love the non-traditional appearance of this notebook. That said, it's hard to imagine a majority of people would find such a look "attractive." The X775's shape is not as extreme as the previous-generation Qosmio X305, but what it lacks in curves it makes up for in bizarre colors.
