Among the string of laptops unveiled by Toshiba today at the Blue
Leaf at McKinley Hill is the Qosmio X870-100X Black Widow Design. This
gaming laptop is powered by an Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge processor
running at 2.30 GHz with 16.0 GB of RAM and 750 GB Solid State Hybrid
Drive. The Qomsio X870-100X runs on a GTX 670 graphics card with 3.0 GB
dedicated VRAM.
It sports a huge 17.3-inch screen and has 4 USB 3.0 ports. It’s
pretty thick and, as expected from a gaming notebook, the Qosmio
X870-100X is a bit heavy, weighing at 4.2 kg.
The Qosmio X870-100X throws in a special treat for gaming
enthusiasts—it has a 3D screen and comes with 3D glasses. It lets you
play games, view pictures and watch movies on 3D. Plus, it has a
built-in 3D webcam.
While trying out the game and a watching a few clips, I noticed that
the quad-core speakers were suitably loud and clear, making it perfect
for gamers who want to be immersed in their game through a supreme video
and audio experience. Additionally, it has a special Sleep and Music
function that allows you to play music from your music player with the
laptop closed.
Using the illuminated keyboard was far from uncomfortable, especially
since the keys were aptly elevated. The multi-touch touchpad was
pretty responsive when I tested the gaming notebook with the
pre-installed demo game, Battlefield 3.
No word yet on the exact date of release of the Qosmio, but it will
most probably be available by next month, priced at Php 129,990.
