(More customer reviews)This laptop, with the one of the best intel mobile processors available, one of the best graphic chips available and its fast, huge storage, is the ultimate gaming and entertainment solution. What makes it better than other gaming laptops is, firstly, its relatively reasonable price. It's probably the best machine $1400 can buy. Secondly, its design is a major advantage. It's not as monstrous or exaggerated as some other gaming laptops are, but it is just impressive and nice-looking.
It's really easy to use once you receive the product, it took 5 minutes of mine to boot and set the computer. It also comes with a good set of software, like Google Chrome or an activated 30-days Norton Internet Security. Furthermore, Toshiba's own set of software is also very useful. The PC health monitor shows you values like Fan Speed, CPU temperature,Battery Health, power consumption and HDD status.The eco utility gives you a power consumption graph and your "green score", your energy efficiency.
Apart from these, the gaming performance of the laptop seems very satisfying. I only had a chance to play Battlefield Bad Company 2 with it, but it was impressive. I set all the settings to the highest value possible and I had 32x antialiasing and 16x vsync, I played on 1600x900 resolution. The game was really fluent in both single and multiplayer modes and the display was really good.
One of the most important elements of such entertainment and gaming laptops is the audio and I must say the sound system of this laptop is quite satisfying. Toshiba's long-time partner harman/kardon is a very good sound hardware producer and their laptop speakers are as good as laptop speakers can be. Even though the subwoofer cannot handle high-volume deep-basses really good, still, it is more than enough for gaming and quite pleasing for music. I'm a Pink Floyd fan and even the most complex songs of the band sound really good until VERY high volume levels.
The keyboard is one of the things I liked the most about the laptop. I'm an apple keyboard fan and I find those keyboards really comfortable and easy to use, but the keyboard of this computer is much better than them. The backlit keys are usable under all conditions and they press so nicely. I wrote a 1400 words long essay with it, during a 3 hours long marathon and it was really comfortable to use this keyboard.
The mousepad is also very responsive and useful with its multitouch feature. The click keys are a bit noisy, but I prefer tapping and the noise they cause is not a big problem to me.
The first of my concerns is about the Blu-Ray drive. I just bought a copy of Black Swan and when I inserted the disc, Toshiba Media Player showed up, but it wouldn't play the disc. So, I opened "Computer" and right clicked the disc, to play with the Corel software. The computer became really slow, windows changed its color scheme to basic and the computer stopped responding for a few minutes. I had to try shutting down through the task manager but then it suddenly started responding again. I ejected and re-inserted the disc and this time,opened it directly with the Corel software. It played flawlessly and without problems. I guess the problem was caused because Corel was running for the first time and I don't think there are any hardware problems with the computer.
The second of my concerns, before buying the computer, was about mobility. I of course didn't expect this to be as portable as a normal 15.6 inches multimedia laptop, but I was afraid it would be too heavy and large. It wasn't. Of course it is heavy, of course it is large, but it's also quite portable. I used it several times on my lap and it was very comfortable. It never got hot and didn't feel so heavy.
When using on a table, size became an advantage as the bigger display, combined with the good graphics card created a great visual experience. Also the fact that the laptop is thicker on its battery, giving it a ramp-like form when it's on a table. This is sometimes classified as a design flaw but I think it's an advantage. It makes the keys face you making writing much more comfortable and it also makes the speakers face you, augmenting the sound. One more advantage of this is that it helps cooling the laptop. This is very important because one of the potential problems of high performance gaming is that the computer may become really hot. This computer doesn't.
After all, I can say that I really love this computer. It excels in nearly all categories. It satisfies me with all its features and makes me glad I have bought this one. I have known Toshiba computers for their durability and stability, and I am sure this future-proof computer, with its components like the Bluetooth 3.0, USB 3.0' won't fail me or my gaming experience for the next few years.
Even if you are not a gamer but only some one looking for a multimedia computer or a computer to use for graphics design, consider this one.
If you're sure that you're fine with a relatively heavy and big computer, and if you have 1400 bucks that you can spend, I recommend this product to you without hesitating.
