  • FUCK VISTA

    

  • Im selling my toshiba qosmio x300 with a 500 harddrive upgrade but the video card is burnt or something i was told so if you want to buy its in toronto and can be shipped but you pay the exact shipping.

    pm me for more info

  • most people blow these up in 1 year.i have the older x205 version mines blew up right before the warranty was up my friend has an x305 same thing.its the video cards small intake solely from the bottom if you sit them on the bed or your carpet for a long period of time like any laptop it will blow just 10x faster.i know duh but alot of people get careless i was.since the repair 3 years ago its bulletproof.im on it now its used quite alot.

  • Pssh..this only works well for about a year and then it becomes a freakin' nightmare. Waste.of.money.

  • This is an old Qosmio from 2009 lol. the new one has some of these specs. Intel® Core™ i7-720QM Processor 4GB DDR3-1066 RAM 500GB 7,200RPM Hard Drive Blu-ray Disc ROM and Labelflash® SuperMulti DVD Drive Memory Card Reader NVIDIA® GeForce® GTS 360M 101/00/1000 Network 802.11b/g/n Wireless Bluetooth 2.1+EDR 18.4" Widescreen TruBrite Display Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) Omega Black
  • This is an old Qosmio guys the new ones have Windows 7 64-bit

  • I LOVE Volume Scrolling Knobs!

  • FUCK NORTON!

  • I like my Asus G73J

  • Alienware m17x/m15x is still better :)

  • I don't give a shit what this video is about and I didn't watch it, this was the first thing that came up when I looked up toshiba, I am using a friends toshiba laptop and I hate it so fucking much that I want to throw it out the fucking window every time the fucker doesn't turn on in the first 10 minuets and some random thing breaks on it for no reason but faulty manufacturing. never buy a toshiba ANYTHING.

  • hahahah i have one , but i also have ( Remote Controller in place of Express Card Slot , and i have a fingerprint under the mouse pad ??? why does this one have nothing ?

  • Well you should think about that, i'd rather have a normal dell laptop for £300 then one of them, and most of the gamers have xbox360...

  • Does it have connectivity doctor

  • fuck off! its like £2000 im not paying tht much :/

  • @TheObayo This is powerful laptop... what do expect it to cost the same as one the shitty walmart laptops?

  • AVOIDThings have gone from bad to worse. I have noticed to make some games stable I need to clock the card down even further. I've been playing half life 2 stable at 396mhz memory and 373mhz core (any faster and it crashes). This is completely unacceptable. If I wanted a video card with half the power (original mem clock was 799mhz) I could have saved myself about $1000

  • how much is this laptop???

  • @crappysiam13 get latest model, this one will not run latest games such as BFBC2 and Medal of Honour, will run MW2 good tho.

  • How much? Also I'm looking for a nice pretty cheap gaming laptop

  • @Beast2138 £2000 mate :/

  • Epic opening from Albert :)) Miss u a lot dude :D

  • ok how much does this cost?

  • I bet Asus would beat this computers ass. 

  • @kflores6 lol umm NO

  • I need help. Which is the better processor: Intel Core i5-2.26GHz or AMD Phenom 8550 Triple Core 2.2GHz?

  • 9700M GTS :-?? Fail GPU for Gaming :)) At least a 9800M GTS 

  • @MYMAnarchy agreed, i got this last year in February, it was top notch, but now its so so. still good by tho, great lid design xD

  • @HedAkeProDuctiOns Yeah, Toshiba do a great design on these Qosmio :D

  • Comment removed

  • i want to ask not for this laptop but for the ACER AS5740G-434G64MN:Does it work for gaming laptop like does it play Assassin's Creed 1 on maximum settings? Specs are Core I5 2.26GHZ 4GB RAM 1 GB VRAM HD5650 15.6 inch

  • i'm getting this laptop this summer. i dont even have to argue with Mac users, just pull it out of the bag, I dont even have to say anything

  • was i the only one who laughed at "girth"?

  • This model only has 1 Fan. I own it have have done a full teardown.

  • @jenveno it has 2

  • @HedAkeProDuctiOns You are correct, the model I own is a X305-Q705 which comes stock with only one fan - however i got all fancy and purchased the seconded one and added it in. The Q711 does come stock with 2.

  • Man i got the Harman kardon but not that one :P Mine is called satellite and is black :P only got 2 speakers doe -_-

  • It's funny how far laptops have come in just a year. My mainstream laptop has just about the same specs as this and this was a gaming laptop last year. Crazzzy.

  • @carsaregood911

    I'm going to buy a laptop next week or so, What laptop model do you have exactly ?

  • @0xoxol0

    Well I may have over exaggerated a little bit. My Toshiba Satellite L505-10X has a 2.1GHz processor whereas this is MUCH better. My laptop comes with a 400GB HDD but I installed a 500GB instead. Also my GPU is better than GeForce 9700M GT but it's just a bit worse than the 9700M GTS. In terms or ports, this thing monsters mine. Also the speakers, mine don't have the Harmon Kardon since I found them pointless.

  • @0xoxol0 Hope that helped, again I over exaggerated quite a bit but I was just making a point that how far laptops have come in just a year.

  • @carsaregood911

    I see. But what did you find pointless with the speakers, do you use external or are the built in good enough ?

    Also, how's the fan's noise level, quiet enough I would assume ?

    Thanks for the replies btw.

  • @0xoxol0 Oh sorry, what I meant was is that I have very good desktop speakers so I just plug that into my laptop and use that. Actually the Harmon/Kardon speakers are THE best speakers you can get for any laptop. But the built in ones are fine I guess, as you should know, laptop speakers aren't very good in general but they get the job done fine.

  • @0xoxol0 Actually I haven't done any gaming as of yet so I can't tell you what that's like but while doing other things its completely quiet, you can only hear it if you put your ear close to the fan itself.

  • @carsaregood911

    That it's quiet in normal usage sounds good. Now I need to browse and browse the net until I settle on one model.

    Thanks again for the replies man, and good luck :)

  • @0xoxol0

    Sure thing, make sure you tell me which one you go for. I seem to know quite a bit about good specifications :)

  • @carsaregood911

    Well if I decide soon enough then I'll surely remember to inform you. Just to let you know I'm pending between Toshiba and Acer, and also between medium range and higher performance: I like to keep using the machine for a few years without it feeling too slow (I don't mind playing a few games, even though I don't play much), yet I don't wan't to pay *too much*.

  • @carsaregood911

    Say, I'm guessing you've watched quite some videos (movies etc..) on yours. I'd like to know how it performs when you play HD material, both hardware accelerated in native video-/media apps and in the browser (flash). I'd like to know info both for 720p and 1080p.

    Sorry for so many questions, but I'm always very nervous about buying things :D

  • @carsaregood911

    Oh and I'm sneaking at HP Pavilion DV-6+ series also ´_`

  • @0xoxol0

    LOL it's ok, well for your HD questions. Even machines with dedicated Intel HD graphics can play HD videos well, so mine definitely plays 720p perfectly on YT and it should also play with HD DVD's as well and I'm 100% sure it'll play 1080p perfectly as well as my GPU is more than capable. So again, most laptops on the market today can play HD videos normally.

    BTW, I was considering HP laptops as well but idk if u know but they have the highest failure rates of all windows laptops.

  • @carsaregood911

    Hmm good to hear that, since my P2.4 pentium desktop crawls slower than a turtle moves on anything over 480p.

    Regarding HP failures; do you mean they "break" ?

    So Toshiba are among the best it seems ? what few other manufacturers are recommended besides Sony (far too expensive, but slick design, what a shame) ?

  • @0xoxol0

    I got all my information about reliable or unreliable laptops from this article on cnet. Since I can't post URL's on YT, the article says that one in every 3 laptops are bound to fail. "Asus and Toshiba laptops have the lowest failure rates, while Acer, Gateway, and HP have higher than average failure rates. Additionally, two-thirds of those problems are hardware malfunctions, while the final third are classified as accidental damage."

  • @carsaregood911

    Very interesting, especially since I was recently browsing and considering Asus too. Of course I have known for years that Asus is among the very top mobo manufacturers, but as for laptop your information sure helps me drop including the consideration of acer and entirely decide between Toshiba and Asus.

    I'm reading that article right now, thanks again :)

  • @0xoxol0

    Glad I could help :)

    Feel free to ask away if something comes up.

  • Its like port overload.

  • how mutch ?

  • It should be around $3200 because here in the Philippines, it costs almost Php 160000.

  • thanks but must be less then  1800$

    let say 1500$

  • i don't really think that this laptop is great for gaming. I mean just have a look at the graphics; NVIDIA GeForce 9700m GTS. Well it's probably one of thc cheepest graphic cards on the internet. If you want serious gaming, have a look at alienware(dot)com

  • Fuck you.

  • it uses 9800 now.

  • 2 fans...not 3

  • wait i have X300

    HEY DO THE X300 HAVE THE 32 BIT 64BIT OPTION,.....HOW DO I CHANGE IN THAT CASE TO 64 BIT!?

  • You can't change a laptops bit system.., WTF

  • PC load letter WTF

  • mine has nvidia 9800 gtx and 750gb storage O.o

    and ive heard that you can switch 32 bit to 64 bit? HOW DO i do that on my qosmio?

  • What are you thoughts on the qosmio x500, there is a video on youtube

  • sorry I accidentally voted poor  lol I wanted to just comment

  • XD...funny white boy

  • man in romania we have it for 2000$ the cheapest qosmio fuck!!!!!

  • You are paying for more then what you are getting, I'd rather buy a Alienware then this... Qosmio X305-Q712 - Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P7350 4GB DDR3 memory 320GB hard drive (7200rpm) NVIDIA® GeForce 9700M graphics (512MB) 10/100/1000 Ethernet Integrated webcam & FM tuner Or you can have... Intel® Core™2 Extreme Quad ATI CrossFireX™ Dual Graphics 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 Memory 1TB Hard Drive Capacity Extreme High Def Video and Audio Full-size Illuminated Keyboard
  • At what settings do you guys think it can run Grand theft auto 4?

  • Full of course hell i can run on a 8600 gts full settings. . .

  • omg im getting it nxt month...CANT WAIT :O

  • Dude these things are over priced, if you want a computer that has twice the power for $400 cheaper look up the Alienware M17... That thing is a monster, it has: Quad, CrossFireX Dual Graphics, 8GB 1066MHz DDR3, 1TB HD. The Qosmio only has a dual core, 4 gigs of DDR3 ram, 9700 GeForce 512 mb graphics card.. So it's up to you but if you want to save $400 and get double the performances get the M17

  • Srry I mean a Quad core CPU lol

  • da is bére

  • sick laptop!!!

  • 1st mistake there is not 3 colling fans,

    1st is the fan then then the subwofer then the air intake (not a fan)

    But its a great laptop, only needs an additional cooling stand if you wanna use it to its fullest potential

  • I have a Qosmio X305 too and I can't notice any cooling problems or something else. The cooling system is enough and I'm wondering how good it is for this high end hardware. Furthermore it doesn't get so hot as the most other notebooks. I like my Qosmio :)

  • My Qosmio X300 15R will FINALLY be here this wednesday and I CANNOT wait... seriously :D

  • i would rather buy and i7 dell xps

  • Whats the best Qosimo laptop for heavy spec requiring games like Crysis and ArmA2?

  • i am planning at buying a qosmio x305 but not sure which version is best for gaming and not very expensive i think q711 is a nice choice but if you have any suggestions i am happy to listen :D

  • Bought this laptop in September of 2008, and use it every day for hours. Never overheats. For games, I use it with the n52te speed pad and a Logitech gaming mouse. It is power hungry so I also have an external Notebook Battery if there are no outlets around. Its great for watching DVDs or streaming internet movies through the HDMI port on a 32" LCD. I recently switched from Vista 32 to Vista 64, because I can, and my gaming went up. Now I'm sometimes accused of hacking and I don't hack. Love it!

  • I would buy if for the my home assignments, making You tube videos, play music,gaming, watching DVD's , saving a lot of pictures use it for, design some great Managa Comic book and chatting on the internet. I wonder how memory will be still left after using it for all that.loll. Would properly spend some high amount of money for a new hard drive. The only negative side to this computer they good have made it like a Panasonic tough book to with stand and conditions. That would have been cool.

  • i am probably gonna get this my old shit dell laptop broke so.

  • what is the windows experience index? is it above 5.0

  • I have a X305-705, windows xperience 5.0, because of the processor(2.0ghz)!!

  • stop it at 1:50, you can see that the whole keyboard sinks in

  • How much is this :( 1299?

  • begin by 10000

  • Hi! I have a Qosmio X300 too and I'm very satisfied with it. I love the red design because it's not the same boring design as on the most other notebooks. Furthermore the notebook is really fast and I can play all my games on it - Great! But I can't agree that the notebook is overheating. No problems as yet and the notebook is "cool". I don't want another notebook anymore.

  • i will consider this one for the laptop i plan to buy, also i agrre with krauser979, " this is the one toshiba i would buy" .

  • Looks like an awesome laptop, I might be getting it soon, im still trying to decide on getting the alienware m17 over this one.

  • GET THE m17 THESE LAPTOPS OVER HEAT SO MUCH

  • this looks like the best laptop i have ever seen perfect for what i like to do. (to bad its 9 lbs :(_)

  • this is the one toshiba i would buy

  • i have this notebook and i LOVE IT!!! mine has 2 x 320gb drives :D

  • i wanna get this 1 but i wanted the 1 in black. but i got an hp. also good but the other 1 would have been better.

  • Goddamn, Albert tries SO hard to be humorous but it just doesn't fit him. He's best when he's formal

    i payed 1,200 with cash and rebates and gift cards brought it down to about... 928.58 ^.^ i love it to death. Great multi tasking pc and great for gaming ^.^

  • ya i got one about 8 months ago and it is AMAZING, works amazing and plays any games i have with really high graphics. the only things i dont like are the keyboard witch getts really fingerprinted and were the disk drive is placed in the front of the computer.

  • too bad this laptop has the worst keyboard ever¡¡¡

  • isnt the new Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725 Laptop has Core 2 Quad processor?

  • i got one, and the only bad thing is that the battery is about 45 minutes long

  • what are the specs?

  • yeh true

  • if this wasn't so ugly I'd buy it

  • Ugly? It looks fuckign amaziing.

    Aswell as it's powerful :P
