Phenominal laptop
- Pros: After shopping around for a gaming laptop I stumbled upon the Toshiba Qosmio Q706. The first thing that jumps out at you is the hardware under the hood (especially the dual 9800M GTS's). Having run sli in my desktops for years now I know the benefit of utilizing two graphics cards for gaming. I was considering purchasing a more expensive brand with a single 9800M GTX but knowing dual 9800M GTS's in sli mode outguns it attracted me to this Toshiba. The 320gb 7200rpm hdd is a nice touch and a step up from the usual 5400rpm drives you find in most laptops. 4 gigs of ddr3 memory is also a welcome addition as again most companies are still running ddr2. Sound system absolutely rocks with 4 Harmon Kardon speakers and a built in sub-woofer....nothing else out there even compares! The real treat comes in the form of a 17" WSXGA+ monitor. From the moment you fire this machine up the first thing you notice is how black the background is which makes the colors standout with such richness. Price.
- Cons: very few here but there are some. The 2.26ghz P8400 is a very capable processor for most applications but running some of todays graphically intense resourse hungry games tends to bog down the system. I've noticed some slow down and chugging while playing Far Cry 2 on high settings....this is not an issue on my desktop which sports a 3 ghz E8400 as well as dual 9800 GTX's in sli mode. In my opinion the 9800M GTS's are capable of handling this game but the cpu is what holds it back. Perhaps Toshiba should have put the faster 2.53ghz cpu in instead. Slight hestitations were also noticed while playing COD4 but immature drivers could be the reason for that and an update should fix it. Some might complain about the weight of this laptop but considering another name for a gaming laptop is a desktop replacement you're not going to be sporting this baby around town.
- Other Thoughts: This is by far and away one of the most strikingly beautiful laptops on the market.....kudos to Toshiba. From the moment you unpack this beauty you're treated to a custom ferrari red paintjob that sports flames on the outside cover of the monitor. Upon opening the lid ones jaw drops to the ground as you are treated to a visually stunning and breathtaking sight. The top panel is done up in a custom metallic red with gloss black trim that will send your friends home green with envy. Designer grill covers overlay the lower speaker array and the top speakers are adorned with red lights that light up when the system is turned on. I've seen many a laptop but none come close to this one in appearance. Toshiba sure has done it's homework and hit this one out of the park with it's Qosmio line. For power, looks and value.......you can't do any better than the Q706!
Close to perfection
- Pros: There is a pluthora of pros to list, so I'll keep it short:
*Dual 9800M GTS run cool yet hawt!
*DDR3... well.. just works great
*7200 RPM Drive outperforms other laptops
*Esata port for blazing backups
*HDMI output, a rarity on laptops
*TruBrite display is amazing
*Sound system impresses!
*Wireless N never fails
*Came from the Egg fast as always!
- Cons: Few cons here from my perspective:
*Weighs a ton (I do move it occasionally) ~10 lb.
*The flashing lights are a tad distracting while gaming
*Does get very hot after extended use (4+ hours)
*Lid paint job is too flashy for my taste, but this might be a pro for others (everyone stares)
*Price... it was a tough decision, but is totally worth it
*Not enough USB ports! My desk is a mess with cables and hubs for all my USB devices. I have to have my USB headset, mouse, keyboard, MP3 player, jump drive, camera and digital photo frame connections! The PSU in this baby can handle it, give us the ports!
- Other Thoughts: This is one of the only laptops I would honestly call a gaming system. Toshiba took this system in the right direction with the quality of the display, video processing power, audio quality, and top rate interfaces. I can't wait to see improvements in the future!

Killer Laptop that dominates all
- Pros: I have one just like this but a slightly older model. It will manhandle any high-end games like Crysis or World of Warcraft without a hitch. The sound on this laptop is amazing. Most people at the college crowed around it to gauk and watch whatever move i'm watching at the lounge due to its near tv like output. Most laptops have a low quality sound system.. this blows all the competition away.
Gaming performance is outstanding. 50+ FPS in Unreal Tournament 3, always above 30 FPS in WoW at any zone or instance on max graphics and shadows. Show's no signs at this time of being low to today's games.
Wireless downloading is pretty fast depending on what your downloading. Some bigger files take more than others however the biggest file i've downloaded was 3.6gb and it took about an hour and a half which imo is fast for wireless.
Battery life IMO is good if you use the right battery settings when needed. I get about a hour and a half gaming or watching a movie on battery.
- Cons: The lid color.. Im not a big fan of it but as someone stated before.. EVERYONE stares and gauks. Get's kind of annoying.
Other cons is the touch pad is kind of meh, you can't really scroll down like i could on a HP Laptop i used to own however, i don't REALLY use the touch pad as much as i do use my Logitech G5 laser.
- Other Thoughts: A bit to much gloss. Finger prints are SOOOO annoying. The two speakers on the bottom are a bit annoying sense my wrist always covers the left bottom speaker when i type...
Wish it came with a 500-750gb Hard Drive cause this just isn't enough space for me.. But! I guess when you install like... 15 games and about 30 movies.. somethings bound to happen.
The display drivers released by Toshiba suck but thanks to laptopvideo2go.com they make this comp murder the competion harder.
Awesome Gaming Notebook
- Pros: Boots quick, runs every game i throw at it.
- Cons: Heavy, Battery life is poor, but hey, it's a desktop replacement. The only reason I gave it a 4 is the battery life could be a little better.
- Other Thoughts: I'd buy it again.
