Toshiba Qosmio X870 keeps users guessing

Toshiba has very recently announced their latest laptop model termed as Qosmio X870. Usually when a laptop or a computer is launched there is a tendency for the manufacturer to flaunt the processor in which it is working. But it seems like Toshiba wants to challenge the norms by keeping mum about the same.

However all the other listed specs of the device is very impressive. This device is marketed as a gaming laptop so the other specs are on par with other high end gaming laptops.Features and specifications of Toshiba Qosmio X870:

• 17.3 inch TruBrite full high definition LED screen


• 16:9 aspect ratio


• 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution

• HDD or hybrid drive storage option


• USB 3.0 ports


• HDMI connectivity


• Wi-Fi


• Bluetooth 4.0


• Optical drive( Blue-ray or DVD Super Multi drive)

The device follows the usual laptop design criteria but stand apart in the fact that it adds in some very vibrant colours to it. This emphasises the fact that this in fact a gaming laptop. The outer covering is given a subtle patterning to it. The sides of the laptop as well as the keyboards are highlighted with contrast colour like red. This dual colour combo gives the device a very appealing look. There is a full numerical keypad in the side and the keys are sufficiently large and comfortable to use.

The screen is of 17.3 inches and offers full HD resolution. It supports 3D contents too but you will have to use specially designed 3D glasses to enjoy the same. There is a built in HD web camera just above the screen. The camera is provided with face recognition capabilities. There is no word on the processor used or the system memory of the device. The speculation is that Toshiba is waiting for latest generation Ivy Bridge processors to roll out. It will be paired with the latest graphics card form Nvidia and this is some serious treat for the hardcore gamers.
