Reviews of the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q706

  • 6.9

    CNET Review

    January 21, 2009

    The Good: Nvidia SLI graphics; great speakers; touch-sensitive media controls; HDMI and eSATA ports; charges USB devices, even when off.

    The Bad: Gigantic; love-it-or-hate-it design; not configurable; low-resolution display for a 17-inch gaming rig.

    The Bottom Line: The Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q706 offers some of the latest high-end components in an enormous, flashy package, but its performance doesn't outshine the competition.

    Review Summary: While the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725's fiery design may not appeal to everyone, its quad-core processor and an Nvidia GTX graphics card are parts that extreme gamers yearn for.
