Notebook PCs were never intended for hardcore 3D gaming initially. But thanks to the advancement in technology, current breed of laptops can support some of the latest hardware intensive games like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Crysis. While the offerings of such systems aren’t that many in the market now, it is just a matter of time before we see more of these gaming notebooks. We take a look at Toshiba’s recently launched gaming notebook with red and pink metallic flames a blazing, the Qosmio X300.

The Toshiba Qosmio X300 claims to be the ultimate portable gaming machine that is comparable to a desktop gaming PC. It is equipped with a fast Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53GHz) processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory and the sweet Nvidia GeForce 9700M GTS (512MB DDR3) graphics card. The graphics card is what makes this beast provide high frame rates so you are on the winning side destroying your opponents.

Toshiba Satellite P105-S6177 laptop, which provides great DVD viewing as well as immersive gaming graphics thanks to the 17-inch TruBrite display and the Intel GMA 950 video card with up to 196 MB of dynamically allocated shared video memory. You can easily use this laptop as an entertainment center, with Toshiba’s unique Express Media Player enabling you to bypass the system and access CDs and DVDs with a touch of button. It’s powered by Intel’s 1.73 GHz Core Duo T2250 processor, which provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved gaming and multitasking performance and efficient power consumption. This laptop also features a 120 GB hard drive, 2 GB of installed DDR2 RAM (4 GB maximum), tri-mode Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11a/b/g), built-in Harman Kardon speakers, multi-format/dual-layer DVD burner, ExpressCard slot, and multi-format memory card reader.

Toshiba Satellite P105-S6177 comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you’ll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV).

Toshiba Satellite P105-S6177 laptop has a 17-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels. It also provides TruBrite technology, which makes images brighter and more vivid thanks to its anti-glare feature. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides up to 196 MB of shared video memory. It offers both VGA and S-Video output connections for connecting to monitors and TVs. You’ll enjoy crisp sound via the built-in Harman Kardon stereo speakers, and it has standard headphone and microphone jacks.

Toshiba Satellite P105-S6177 Features

* Powerful multimedia, gaming PC with 17-inch LCD; 1.73 GHz Core Duo T2250 processor
* 120 GB hard drive, 2 GB installed RAM (4 GB max), multi-format/dual-layer DVD drive (8x DVD+/-R)
* Connectivity: 4 USB, 1 FireWire, 1 VGA, 1 S-Video, 1 ExpressCard, 1 PCMCIA, 5-in-1 memory card reader
* Tri-mode Wi-Fi LAN (802.11a/b/g), 10/100 Ethernet, Intel GMA 950 video card with up to 256 MB of shared memory
* Pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium (with Media Center capabilities)
* Toshiba Satellite P105-S6177 notebook measures 15.5 x 10.8 x 1.65 inches and weighs 7.1 pounds.

* Processor: The Intel Core Duo T2250 processor is built with the Mobile Intel 945PM Express chipset, and it has a 1.73 GHz processor speed, fast 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system’s performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)The Intel Core Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It’s optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the next version of Microsoft Windows, code-named Vista. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications–such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications–while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. It’s more efficient, thanks to Intel’s Power Coordination and Deeper Sleep, which help to transfer power only to those areas of the processor that need it. It also features Intel’s Digital Media Boost, which delivers enhanced performance on floating point-intensive applications such as CAD tools, 3-D and 2-D modeling, video editing, digital music, digital photography and gaming.
* Hard Drive: The 120 GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 RPM) is above average in size for notebook PCs. It provides more than enough capacity for storing documents, digital media files, and productivity software. This SATA hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data–akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
* Memory: The 2 GB of built-in memory (PC4200, DDR2 SDRAM) is a very good start for power users, and it offers a decently fast 533 MHz speed. It has two memory slots, enabling you to add up to 4 GB of RAM for smooth DVD playback and 3-D gaming. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
* DVD/CD Drive: The double-layer DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats, including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data–great for backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It features the following speeds: 2.4x DVD+R DL, 2x DVD-R DL, 8x for both single-layer DVD+R/-R, 4x DVD+RW, 4x DVD-RW, 5x DVD-RAM, and 24x/10x for CD-R/RW. It reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.
* Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 103-key keyboard and electro-static two-button touchpad. It also offers a launch button for the Express CD/DVD media player and control buttons (play, stop, next, previous) as well as a volume control dial.
