Cosmetics, the Qosmio looks like a piece of art technology under the hood, it’s even better. Whenever I get my hands on, I’m happy to buy it. I am from the X505-Q850 and the message that the review here too, since the 880 is essentially the same laptop and I thought that this review would be useful to people.
I had hoped to buy a new laptop, but the display on my old HP was not and I can not be justified in sinking money into obsolete technology. I am convinced that I was ready to live with funky stripes through my window for its sober, but every pixel is defective, it was clear that I had to quickly buy a replacement.
Fortunately, Amazon makes it easy for laptop features such as screen size, and the first laptop that came on my quest, the Qosmio X505-Q850 – the photos were more like a sports car or a stylish laptop – it’s love at first sight. The screen is less than 18.4 inches, it’s huge for a laptop, and to my surprise, there was even a backlit keyboard!
Can not easily find my perfect laptop that? “Calm yourself, I said,” that’s not all. “The price is not cheap, but almost half the cost of Alienware, it’s closest rival in specs and looks. Horny reading news, I’m happy for all
Qosmio features can be regarded as a brilliant inside and outside. ‘S latest quad core processor, a fast solid state drive for the OS, a second SATA disk, memory, 6 GB, the latest NVIDIA graphics card, Bluetooth, HDM and Blu-ray, the Qosmio indeed power.
Deeper, I learned this new Qosmio came out and is available in limited quantities. Even the outright purchase of Toshiba has been waiting two months. Amazon had a pair in stock, but was quickly exhausted. With more pixels disappear on my old HP, I kept a sharp lookout hope that someone could quickly get Qosmio stocks. I was hoping to buy on Amazon and triple points for their credit card (all 2500 points will give me a gift card for $ 25 and triple points on a laptop was around 6000!) But Unfortunately, another dealer in a small quantity, and although I hated to do, I cheated on Amazon and I made my purchase elsewhere.
When my Qosmio arrived, it was a euphoric experience. The box is red and black with a big red V on the same detailed design on the laptop itself. As I peeled the tab box to open the lid to the interior had little red letters that says: “Enjoy your laptop.” My heart beat, “I go, I told myself:” Do not worry. ” angelic harps reach their climax when I opened the box Qosmio. And there he was – through light beams emerging – with its glossy black finish gleaming, and points of light sparkling red metallic accents. I defy anyone to find a nicer looking laptop.
Okay, so literary embellishments aside, this is really a laptop. And Windows 7 is quite impressive. starting time is up quick relief stops 45 seconds from the moment I press the button and I can click on everything and go immediately. And this new processor is a beast all. Photoshop CS4 opens directly into the neighborhood. A backup of 100 GB has taken a little over an hour. Rendering and video editing is also ultra fast. I’m not a gamer, I have nothing to report there, but judging by everything else, he was quickly in this department.
“Gaming Laptop” is just a euphemism for Fast!
If you have a computer that is touted for “gamer” does not assume that everything is good for. “PC Gaming” means fair, fast and does not want a fast computer? I saw several reviews that the speed test between the Qosmio new compared to its competitors, and better than them with ease. While he was alone with this new processor and if others follow rate equations stabilizes.
Blu-Ray vs Roma
This means reads the ROM Blu-Ray, but does not burn. (Of course, burning and DVD +-RW.) Initially I was disappointed not Qosmio Blu-Ray. But I realized that I’d rather have my video files in MPEG4 or WMV directly look out MediaShare. I am using MediaShare to listen my music, so why not do the same thing with the video? It is convenient access to many more digital MP3 files to load a CD into a drive, because it is easier to backup with external hard drives instead of CDs. The digital files are simply faster and easier if a Blu-Ray may be meaningless for my purposes.
HDMI
One of my favorite features of the Qosmio is the ease with which it could be connected to my 50 “plasma! A single HDMI cable running from your computer to your plasma and it’s good! Audio is automatically switched off the laptop and the game on TV instead. And the picture is full 1080p HD! Play every video, surfing the Web or watching a Blu-ray all on your plasma! Very cool! Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the Qosmio is using a standard HDMI cable, not the size seen mini camcorders. Qosmio and automatically detects the HDMI signal and One Off switches on the external display automatically. You can use both screens are active at the same time, or choose between the two. Philips Wireless HDMI combined with my chain and all could not be simpler to use.
Illuminated Keyboard
I read some forums where people were angry against the keyboard will not stay lit all the time and then after so many seconds. This is not true – the keyboard can be set to stay all the time. Your Qosmio, go to> Home> Toshiba> Utilities> hwsetup> Lighting> then under “keyboard backlight”, click the radio button “Fn” and then check the “Enabled”. After restarting, you will be able to see the keyboard and off using the “Fn” + Z “keys. Personally, I keep my keyboard is all the time, of course, and off automatically when the computer is off. It is also interesting to note that the keyboard itself is very smooth and quiet! I do not know about you, but clackety-clack keyboards make me mad! No reason why they can not all be virtually silent when the Qosmio. I have to strain to hear a sound – perfect!
No crapware
I hate when I buy a new computer and is responsible for waste programs which makes the amount of advertising clutter on my new hard drive. Fortunately, Qosmio comes with garbage company little under the hood – a process of Microsoft Office, QuickBooks Online Backup Toshiba – Oh, shit that Norton and I got rid of my first start. Otherwise, it’s actually a clean installation with only the necessary and I am grateful. I will install my own programs, Thanks! In addition, Toshiba has a good job of including a number of useful tools and a decent life DVD / CD burning software, so Kudos there.
Harman / Kardon
No, they will not blow anyone a room or fill it again, but compared to other laptops I have encountered, these speakers are great! When I’m on the road, they are good enough and powerful. But when I’m home, I plugin a set of Altec Lansing for richer, dynamic sound. But to be honest, I did not listen to music from my laptop. But I am connected to my receiver DirecTV and listen to music on my home theater system through Media Share. There’s nothing like it !
Eco-Fashion
I am especially pleased to Toshiba for this function, but it’s nothing that I will never use. Basically, this function can make the touch of a button, you Qosmio save energy and you can feel good about reducing your carbon footprint. That is fine, but I have not spent 2 Grand for a slow computer. I paid for the speed and the speed I want, I’ll go with my carbon footprint elsewhere. I take the bus most places so I do most of the people there. I’ll burn my laptop as fast as I want, Thank you very much.
Face Recognition Login
Yes, you heard me right – the Qosmio has a built-in webcam, which is good for video calls via Skype, but also the other – the integrated webcam is also possible to use facial recognition software instead of a password to log in! Cool!
Fingerprints
The high gloss finish of the Qosmio is wonderful, but it takes fingerprints easily. Personally, I do not mind. I do not want to sacrifice luxury Qosmio look and do not mind wiping to keep shiny and clean. Besides, we all reports say that the keyboards of people have more germs on them than to have public restrooms so it’sa good idea to wipe your laptop often anything.
Solid State Drive
I Qosmio credit for wanting to be on the cutting edge, but the solid state drive this thing is far too small – only 64 GB. He has a second SATA 320 GB beats most competitors because it runs at 7200 rpm. But the SSD is still low for my taste. To make matters worse, as do scores of 47gb of usable space. The rest is allocated to a partition recovery and a hidden partition as the backup image to restore your computer from the box contains. This is useful when you’re on and something happens, but I have my DVD backup and for good measure. I do not mind how the scores are, I need a bigger SSD and a plan to upgrade once the price falls from the stratosphere to something reasonable. But that being said, the speed of this disc is amazing so I’ll be happy to do in the meantime. I installed my most applications of tax on SSDs and all my documents moved to the second SATA. Fortunately, Toshiba includes a simple utility that allows users to migrate files on the secondary drive is to help save space on the SSD.
Windows 7 64 bit – 32 bit NOT
The description says 32 bit, but it’s actually Windows 7 64bit Home Premium. I upgraded to Ultimate with ease and it takes less than 10 minutes as advertised.

Bottom Line:
There are too many opportunities pass by all, but suffice it to say that the Qosmio X505-Q850 is really at the cutting edge. I give my highest recommendation and I am completely satisfied with it in all directions. If you have a fast laptop that often, and looks great, Qosmio is your winner!
