But more importantly can I shell out $$$ for the extra crappy ServiceNET extended warranty that will prolong my torturous run-a-rounds?

I'll stick with DELL, HP, SONY, ACER, SAMSUNG, PANASONIC, ASUS, APPLE, MSI, NEC, FUJITSU...

in short, ANYBODY BUT TOSHITTY!]]>Oct 22nd 2008 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/Oct 21st 2008 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/
I did come here to give Engadget crap for dissing the red color scheme...I thought it looked nice...

...untill I clicked through and saw the cover. FUGLY AS HELL. They should have left it solid red, and it would have been great.

Also, funny how Toshiba is still poting about HD-DVD...no Blu-Ray on a 4k laptop?

Seriously, I just feel more energetic after having stared at it.

TOSHIBA JUST SOLVED THE ENERGY CRISIS.

Sure, pretty games are more fun to look at, but cranking down the shadows/fog/smoke/sfx etc lets you get a much clearer view of what's going on. The Romanian kid kicking your ass in C&C 3 is probably playing on a 4 year old system with 7300/128MB graphics card on a 17" monitor. No amount of SLI/Max AA/Watercooling etc can make a bad player good.

TLDR: '80 FPS on Ultra High' != skilled player.

Not that I have anything against gay people (especially since I am bi) but damn that's a little over the top even for me.

The lid on mine is more understated than that fugly red flame crap! Mine is a nice black and dark read wood/marble pattern. The only thing that draws attention in public is the large screen and number pad.

It kept me excited till I reached the price. You can get:

1) The same specs, better looks, still overpriced but $500 less from Alienware.
2) Same specs, bland plain looks, for $1100 less at Sager notebooks.]]>Oct 21st 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/Oct 21st 2008 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/Oct 21st 2008 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/Oct 21st 2008 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/Oct 21st 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/21/toshiba-gets-serious-with-4k-qosmio-x305-q708-gaming-laptop/
