Laptop = surf and game wherever you want to in the house.]]>Dec 12th 2008 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/
Seth has a very good point. I also move quite a bit, and travel a lot to places where I will be for a couple of months at a time, so a laptop with desktop capabilities is important for me. It is also important to me to have a full size keyboard. It is nice to be able to pick up and move without paying to ship a truckload of stuff with me. I can simply throw this computer into my checked baggage if I pack it right. I can't do that with a desktop without using up almost an entire suitcase.]]>Dec 12th 2008 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/
Come on, be real. That brick ain't going anywhere. So, what, you're going to lug your brick of a "laptop" along with your computer speaker system, mouse and power brick over to the couch to do some gaming? Yeah, right. At most you could bring the laptop by itself to the couch to do some web surfing but with the savings you'd get from building your own desktop gaming rig, you could buy an extra small laptop just for surfing on the couch.]]>Dec 12th 2008 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/

Remember folks choose anyone, anything, but a Tooshitty Quasimotto, even their Satellite line is waaaayyy better.

Never had problems with DELL, HP, Voodoo, SONY, Asus, Lenovo, etc. etc.]]>Dec 12th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/
And its super easy to just pack it all up into a backpack whenever I'm moving somewhere new or traveling in general.

Sure I'm never exactly going to play it on one knee or win any rewards for battery life, but still it's pretty convenient.]]>Dec 12th 2008 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/
Are we looking at the same, hideously travel-UNFRIENDLY laptop right now?!]]>Dec 12th 2008 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/
In those situations I like having the option to just set up shop wherever, which is something I couldn't do with a desktop.

Although admittedly, I'm a gaming junkie... so while I'm sure plenty of people are content to browse the net or surfing youtube while traveling, I enjoy having the capability to play whatever new first-person shooter/online game I want regardless of where I happen to be with no real loss in performance.]]>Dec 12th 2008 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/
Let me get this right. You travel for work I would assume, so I am guessing you have a separate laptop for work. And you actually travel with BOTH of these laptops just so you can get a little gaming on in your hotel room? Have you ever heard of a PSP?]]>Dec 12th 2008 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/Dec 12th 2008 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/
Meanwhile I have also owned an Acer and two Compaqs in that time. The Acer is still around, but performed like crap before I modded it up (and replaced the cracked LCD). One of my Compaqs was in and out of the shop or getting fixed on a constant basis; the other still runs nicely for an XP machine.

Most of the problems people have with computers have to do with mistreating the hell out of them; I've broken a couple of LCD screens myself over time due to carelessness. Other times, as in the case of the Compaq's (and most recently, with my fiancee's Dell craptop), the laptops have been problem children right off the factory floor. But the Toshibas I've owned have served me fine. And chances are, most brands (save for Acer and Dell) are of good quality.

Methinks Edward that you may be unlucky -- or careless. Or both.]]>Dec 14th 2008 12:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/12/toshiba-goes-bonkers-with-qosmio-laptop-upgrades-gx-fx-and-spu/
