Toshiba unleashes the Qosmio X305 gaming laptop

For those of you dreaming of a super-fast gaming laptop that's also adorned with a chic red and pink "flame" pattern, your days of searching are over. Enter the Qosmio X305, Toshiba's entry into the lap-cooking gamer notebook market. The X305 features a 3GHz dual-core Intel CPU, a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics chipset, dual 7200RPM 200GB hard drives, up to 4GB of RAM, and sports a 17-inch 1680 x 1050 LCD display. Of course it's also kitted out with a whopping four-speaker Harmon Kardon sound system as well as S/PDIF and HDMI ports. The pink powerhouse is set to launch July 14th, no word on price just yet.

I still don't see who buys these... I mean if you REALLY wanna game at hi-res that badly, buy/build a desktop for half as much that will put this thing to shame. And if you need mobility, grab a decent little laptop as a companion to the gaming desktop. If you need portability and gaming in one system, get a Fragbox. Either way, no one NEEDS to game @ crazy resolutions on a laptop... 12x10 isn't going to kill you. And this thing is FUUUUUUUGLY. and heavy. and battery life... LOL. And what the hell is the point of a laptop this expensive without a 19x12 display? Just buy an XPS or a Gateway or a MBP. Save MONEYS ----> get a better laptop.

The reason I bought a gaming laptop was because my desktop is in a bad location. Maybe I wanna sit at my coffee table, watch some TV and do a little fragging instead of sitting in the corner at my desktop. I have a studio so that is the only place it could really go. I used to swear I would never be a laptop guy but after using one for work I got used to it and would never go back. My previous laptop was not good for gaming and since I was looking for a new laptop I got Toshiba's X205-SLI5 and I love it. It is reasonably affordable as far as gaming laptops go. Sure I could have built a very decent gaming desktop for that price (better than the laptop) but I am not a hard-core PC gamer, I have my PS3 and XBox360 for gaming but I enjoy some PC exclusive title as well like Flight Simulator
