Reviews of the Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850

CNET Review
The Good: Top-of-the-line components, including Intel Core i7; second solid-state hard drive; massive 18-inch 1080p display.
The Bad: Expensive; tiny touch pad; surprisingly cramped keyboard; mute button beeps loudly when pressed.
The Bottom Line: Toshiba revives its Qosmio gaming line with the high-end X505. It has everything from Blu-ray to an Intel Core i7 CPU, but it also carries a premium price.
