Toshiba Qosmio X500 Has Ferrari-Like Looks, Core i7 Speed
3:01AM Danny Allen | This big 18.4-incher with Windows 7 has plenty for gamers to drool over. A Core i7 mobile processor and 1GB Nvidia GeForce GTS 250M graphics should crunch out respectable framerates, and the Blu-ray drive and Harmon/Kardon speakers are nice, too. More »

2:02PM Nick Broughall | If you thought the Acer Predator gaming desktop looked powerful, then you’ll love the design of Toshiba’s new Qosmio X300.
According to Toshiba, this is Toshiba’s “fastest and most powerful notebook to date”, and comes with the latest components, including an Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9400, two hard drives (200GB and 320GB), 4GB DDR3 RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTX graphics card, Harman Kardon speakers and a heap of connections.
It naturally comes with Vista Ultimate, its 17-inch screen has a 1680 x 1050 resolution and it weighs in at 4.16kg.
There’s a heap more specs after the jump if you’re interested. Me, I just like to look at it. The $3,999 price tag isn’t cheap, but gosh-darnit that fire-engine red looks purty. Makes me want to go and buy a fast car. More »

Toshiba Qosmio G55 is First Laptop With Cell Processor Aboard
6:24PM Kit Eaton | Toshiba’s Qosmio G55 has popped up on Giz over the last couple of months, talking about its advanced gesture controls which rely on its use of the PS3’s Cell processor tech, and now it’s official. Toshiba’s calling it the “world’s first laptop with cell processor tech inside,” and concentrates on four functions it gives the machine. Upconvert/upconversion (basically 1080i upscaling,) transcoding of video formats, face-based video indexing and gesture control. The laptop will have a starting price of US$1,299.99.

Toshiba Qosmio Line Gets Cheaper, More Fun with GPS-Equipped F55, X305 Gamer and G55 with PS3 Cell Chip (Updated with Video)
11:25PM Wilson Rothman | Toshiba decided to divvy up its Qosmio line into three very different machines, with starting prices way below the US$3,000 that Qosmios previously cost. • The 15.4″ F55, with starting price at US$1,150, will include built-in GPS—with Garmin navigation and mapping software—while its US$1,750 configuration will have some reasonably decent gaming capability as well. • The already leaked (and leaked) 18.4″ monster G55 includes gesture-based controls—hand gestures in front of the camera—enabled by the Cell chip found in PS3s. This secondary processor also helps transcoding HD video and face tracking while editing video. It is priced from US$1,300 to US$1,550. • Toshiba has officially rolled its gaming systems into the Qosmio brand, starting with the X305 (which you may have seen). The 17″ gaming notebook will cost anywhere from US$1,550 (in retail configs) to US$3,500 with overclocked Core 2 Extreme processor, WSXGA resolution screen and two 7200-rpm drives. UPDATE: Video showing gestures, GPS interface and more below, along with gallery and press release. More »

Toshiba Qosmio X305 (Powerhouse Gaming Laptop) Leaked
2:53AM Mark Wilson | Here’s what looks like a pretty legit shot of Toshiba’s new gaming laptop, the Qosimo X305. Expected for a July 14th release, the new system features a 17-inch screen, 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX, 3Ghz intel processor and dual 7200RPM hard drives up to 500GB a pop. We also dig the HDMI out and 4 Harmon Kardon speakers. But since we turned 12, this Pontiac red plastic styling hasn’t really been our thing. Don’t let us taint you, though. Here’s a bonus shot: More »
