Toshiba's 17-inch WXW with GeForce 8700M GT graphics -- a first

Toshiba brings it in bulk today with their latest Dynabook, the Santa Rosa-based Satellite WXW. At 8.6-pounds and more than 2-inches thick, this 17.1-inch sled packs 256MB of DirectX 10-capable GeForce 8700M GT graphics -- the new top-o-the-line 8M-series GPU from NVIDIA. The display touts a 1,680 x 1,050 pixel resolution with a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo T7300, ±R dual-layer DVD burner and loads of in-and-outs under its glossy red finish. Yes, even HDMI for a quick digital-out to your new flat panel television. Available starting today in Japan with 1GB DDR2 / 120GB disk configurations starting at ¥219,800 or about $1,805.

They sound great but Toshibas quality control and service is crappy. I've gone thru two of their notebooks in the past year, and they wouldn't fix them under warranty, they just stopped working - both with motherboard failure.

17" or not, there's no excuse for how THICK it is. They could have easily stuffed all of that into about half the thickness with just as good cooling. If it's anything like the 7600vs7700 then there's not much to look forward to performance wise over the 8600.
