Potential gaming laptop on the market today, because imagination. On the one hand you have fans who never recognize the desktop that has the portability of notebook computers offer, on the other hand, the surface must be a player who can not understand why anyone would pay so much for something that costs half of what the desktop easy to play . However, the ability to play their favorite games or watching movies on Blu-ray, regardless of where the home is, and even if you're not at home at all, very interesting. As technology continues to improve and reduce the number of component manufacturers are now gaming notebook gaming has to offer a solution that will be immediately suspended the desktop brother.

Many manufacturers of gamers, such as laptops, MSI, Asus, Toshiba and scanning, there are now many opportunities for mobile players. After Toshiba X770 released in 2011, this specification Qosmio X870-119 offers improved 17inci screen, Full HD 3D with 16 GB RAM, i7 platform with the new Ivy Bridge, SSD, HDD, and NVIDIA GTX670M graphics card with a huge 3 gigabyte of VRAM. Toshiba said the X870 "turbo games and entertainment" and "designed for multimedia and gaming enthusiasts," and the first look at the specifications, it will probably fulfill the request. Clear specification does not tell the whole story, so take a closer look and see if Toshiba live in accordance with our expectations.

Summary

As on previous Toshiba X770 described, higher specification X870-119 is at ride an elephant in the room. Bottom line, the sale price PLN 1699.99 which is a very expensive proposition. Although it is not immediately cache prices, which are affected by a specific X770 with a similar computer from Alienware, Acer and MSI would cost about the same money, you get the impression that Toshiba is trying to create a machine that seems to cover all the bases. This makes it a good effort, but ultimately fell more fields.

Receive a 17 "3D Full HD 1080p Intel Core i7-3610QM processor, Nvidia GTX670M Ivybridge, graphics card with V-3 GB of RAM, 16 GB of RAM (yes, that's 16), 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD Blu-ray RW. Sounds all impressive and current requirements, but when I start to learn more aware of the limitations of machines. states that because 16 gigabytes of storage, providing up to 11 gigabytes of game GTX670M VRAM on the theory sounds great saint. graphics card, but it is not strong enough. these VRAM special in any way useful to soon begin Turn all the graphics settings in games such as Max Payne 3, for example, when it began to be used more than 3 GB of VRAM on the front of the low numbers of people - .. you really can forget the game unplayable in 3D modern gaming GPU is simply not strong enough to BF3 and Max Payne 3, for example, does not provide a high enough FPS to be even remotely only play Modern Warfare 3 contains the basic FPS. 32 actually Ein 3D mode to 2D mode., do not expect to play on high settings, and even in the media, with new games such as Max Payne is a third

As with the X770, but review the recent battery is a real problem with gaming laptops from Toshiba. Due to the small capacity to completely remove all the benefits they receive from the desktop and laptop. For example, if the battery is fully charged, you can not have time to watch the movie on Blu-ray - 58 minutes of battery life, it's all we have on Blu-ray and only 43 minutes to the Blu-ray 3D. Then, to play games and other worse Battlefield 3 gives a little 28 minutes into the game. Battery life is displayed as "up" 2 hours - maybe it's just idling, low-power devices and do nothing.

Other negative, are a bit strange and very annoying whining noise coming from the power supply. Given that you are connected most of the time, if you want to do something other than look for an area that gets on my nerves. The same can be said mouse, which only seems to work when he feels the system is cumbersome and F keys are labeled with other features. If you want, such as Alt + F4 to quickly close the program, along with many other useful shortcuts you need your fingers a little bit more than usual. Fortunately, setting the F key to restore normal operation (as described in the main review), but in reality, love is the default.

It's not so bad if you can see next to the price, battery life, weak GPU and the other items listed above, you can get a laptop looks pretty nice. Black and red sweet is Toshiba Qosmio styling along with a decent pair of Harmon / Kardon speakers, although Qosmio X770 subwoofer, which provides additional shock is not present on this model. 3D (with Nvidia glasses included) are very impressive, and the effect works well in tests, but only as it turned out positive and negative ripped seconds. When playing Blu-ray 3D laptop is too loud for comfort and for anything other than the most violent scenes can clearly hear the fans spinning away.

This can once again see the benefits of a gaming laptop - portability, the ability to play anywhere and do not have such a big box desktop computer in his room all positive. But after shelling zł 1700, and was not able to play for more than 30 minutes, a little response eliminates the main game on the road and points at the end is associated with power, in this case, you can also spend money on a computer. If you spend £ 1700 on a desktop computer should be able to get the latest equipment that can play anything you care to throw at it. Since we only recommend the Toshiba Qosmio X870-119th

3-D Display

Like previous models, you'll have a good Toshiba TruBrite ® Full HD 3D Vision LCD with LED backlight, which offers a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (16:9 aspect ratio) and 5 ms response time. This is one area that this laptop really shines and get the NVIDIA 3D glasses dim the brightness ensures high brightness shine more than compensate. For non-3D, you may want to decrease the brightness a bit, but overall the colors are strong and brave and true feeling that you are dealing with the quality of the screen here. This monitor Pass Mark test a few ideas on how to deal with color. Qosmio X870 screen is a good example of a modern laptop screen.

3D Playback

One of the major beneficial built laptop 3D. Using the NVIDIA 3D Vision active shutter glasses provide quality 3D Blu-ray in our test is very good at all. Trials of the same disk, you will probably see the difference compared to the previous model X770 3D will look a lot better. 3D has a lot of depth and are not too dark or too much loss of quality "HD". Nvidia glasses is very comfortable and easy to fit glasses if you wear them. Compared to other 3D tests, no settings to eliminate flicker peripheral vision and do not give the headache, which is nice. 3D on a laptop and will not be disappointed.

Construction

toshiba qosmio x870
Toshiba Qosmio X870 store styling model, but with some changes. Gone are the dark red on the X770, replaced by black and red bruise on the banks of the touch pad and courses. It is more elegant and simple design compared to the previous model, surfaced at the top and bottom of the keyboard and that's the same screen. You can still get a red backlit keyboard and the red light on the power button and the 3D, but that's it. No red light on the touch screen and keys that look different from the X770 model. In our opinion, it is a laptop, which is lovely and it is certainly one of the best in aesthetic strikes. Like Toshiba, striking design.

toshiba qosmio x870Toshiba did not disappoint in quality. The keys on the keyboard and everything feels well made and the X770 does not seem to be one of the courses caught when closing the lid of the wrong place - it was all very solid. But there are some negative. We're not sure what to do with Toshiba Power connection is still the same model of four branches, but for some reason it is very loose, with heavy traffic on the site. It does not seem to fit, but do not have the same sense of security as the previous model.

There have also been changes in the design of the keyboard and touchpad. First touchpad Gone are the separate left and right buttons, which are now included in the touchpad. It mostly works, but in contrast to the upper surface of the touchpad, and now everything is a click when you press it, nothing happens so often, it is expected that answer by clicking on the page, they do not come. Previous project touchpad with separate buttons on the mouse to the left and the right is much better. The touchpad also has multitouch functionality allows you to zoom, flip and scroll through, though very rarely, it works as planned.

On your keyboard, Toshiba eliminate a lot of buttons on the keyboard, which is located above the keyboard on the X770 and put function keys, sadly, it is now, if you're a fan of local F Windows keys found in all sorts of possibilities open that you do not intend to do so. Our favorite is the ALT + F4 to close the window, but first you'll have to use a third button to get a job. Fortunately, there is a way to solve F is a priority, but with plenty of space for the keyboard, I do not know why Toshiba has changed from the one that works very well with X770.

Mass

As a portable 17 "games, it is not surprising that it is quite a heavy piece of kit, especially when compared to the average laptop. Though it weighs 3.4 kg, it is not wrong, it is about 200 grams lighter than the previous model, you do not get your feet up and down, if you have it on your lap for too long in comparison with similar specifications for the Alienware gaming laptop (4.26 kg), scanning (3.9 kg) and Asus (4.5 kg) weight is definitely something that hard working to Toshiba. maintain at least balance the needs and specifications of the project.

In contrast X770 heat exhausted from the right side of the machine. The boiler is always welcome on a laptop like this to help get rid of the feeling of your feet slowly cook for watching Blu-ray movies, for example. This is not to say that a lot of heat, but because the parts are not surprising and will always have an additional benefit in the vicinity of a warm place for cold days.

Interfaces

Toshiba is not skimped on the X870-119 connection. You get four USB 3.0 ports (two on each side), the two promoting her new "dream N Charge", in which you can connect a USB device to a laptop to charge mobile phones, as it is, and the laptop itself is turned off. At the same time you will get a standard headphone and microphone jack, a LAN port, RGB, VGA and HDMI out. No connection to the last line of the previous model, and future is only a memory card reader compatible with SD, miniSD, microSD, SDHC and MultiMedia Card SDXS.

Blu-ray Rewritable (BD-RE) in the left engine and the top of the keyboard is the power button and 3D. At the top of the screen contains the camera (3D HD 1280 x 800) with built-in microphone. Quick test for the camera has good image quality even in 3D, but not as 3D games and Blu-ray high number of visible flicker. In addition, from a personal point of view to look a bit like an idiot talking to someone in the camera with a big pair of 3D glasses on.

Summary

Our review copy came with Windows 7 installed, configured and ready to use. It is always worth spending a lot of time to update all the drivers and programs, you are likely to find updates and patches to fix the system as a whole, along with the number of Windows Update is available if you choose to install. This is where the benefits come built their own computers, you have a machine that has been upgraded with the latest drivers, software and BIOS meanings even when it is, you can start right away. But he says it can only work for 30 minutes to be up to date.

Very high specification with a balanced price, though less GPU department. You get the new Intel Core i7 3610QM Quad-Core Platform Ivybridge (or hex) CPU running at 2.3GHz or 3.3GHz in turbo mode (the system will automatically do it for you, if necessary) and 16 GB of DDR3 memory running at 1600MHz. With the Nvidia GTX670M graphics card (192-bit @ 598mhz). As already mentioned, the cost really want a graphical interface is much stronger, and the smallest Nvidia GTX680M and GTX670M low test really fun for the task, and not a lot of improvements over the previous model X770 shows GTX560M.

Qosmio X870 X100 with 128GB SanDisk SSD that promises read speeds of up to 500 MB / s and write speeds up to 355 Mb / s (check on the results of tests to see how it fares). The result is formatted 128 GB 101 GB of disk space, but because the program is installed, Toshiba really a lot of free space to 59.1 GB This system comes with only 43.1 GB of space, but that's because the paging file 16 gigabytes. system can be easily moved to another drive to save memory. In Windows typically uses about 12 GB 20 GB or more, and hiberfil.sys, which gives a sense of how much space is lifted Toshiba programs and other built-in functions. V, can be reduced even more, because they are about 6 GB Microsoft Office 2010, waiting to install (and activate only if you paid for it!) Screenshot shows TreeSize space, as you can see when you first turn the laptop.

With the SSD, but also get RPM HDD 1TB TOSHIBA 5400th total area to create a generous 931 GB in size and look at the laptop should be enough for most of what you want to do if faster 7200 rpm hard as we welcome you run out of space fast enough to DOS

Battery Life

The most surprising aspect of the X770 we described earlier bad battery, so we look forward to, as the new X870 model fared in comparison. Toshiba changed the estimate of the maximum battery "Up" 2 1/2 hours 2 hours X770 only with a new model and I fear the worst. For better implementation of catastrophic battery test games the previous model X870 fared very poorly. Play Battlefield 3 fully charged battery to only 28 minutes of playing time, but not enough time to start the game. It is recommended to fully charge the battery and let it only a few times, "optimistic" that the new that we are doing here, but the battery remains the same. PLN 1,700 to 28 minutes to download the game is what we call an attractive proposition. Of course, based on the requirements and specifications expect great battery life, but it would be nice to at least 1 hour.

The bad news is that still when I try to watch Blu-ray movies. Again, with a fully charged battery, or is it time to watch the whole movie, in a very short time! Standard Blu-ray only 58 minutes of battery life, and Blu-ray 3D only get 43 minutes. The battery indicator is also the most useless. You can look in one place and he said that you have 90 minutes left, 10 minutes later you look back and say that you have only 40 minutes to the end, so do not take it as gospel, it seems that it is very inaccurate. From a short battery life, if you do some casual web browsing, or just looking for a desktop will probably need to make sure that the computer is connected to a network, or from other sources, to the hand.

Like the X770, the system has a feature called the Toshiba Eco Utility, which notebooks put the most cost-effective way to reduce energy consumption. Although the function is useless for gaming or watching Blu-ray movies because it reduces everything, including light, so I can see what you're doing. It seems that one of the items that you can turn it on and see how much energy actually used, rather than long-term use. Power generates only a very annoying whine and do not forget that you need to be connected most of the time, it will really start to get on my nerves. We hope that this is just a problem with our sample browser, but if the power X870 models are so Toshiba may be a problem.

Sound

Switch to sound, to get the X870 4-speaker Harmon / Kardon (including height), by Slip Stream Toshiba technology "(no, we do not know what is good) and" 3D SRS Premium Sound. "Toshiba claims that it offers" a rich, high-quality stereo "and" Life as in music. "Before we go, if the sound quality is excellent and far superior to what can be expected from the size of the speakers. Clear and rich sound, not the sound of tin that bothers normal laptop. Unfortunately, for some reason, X770 subwoofer will remove the audio device in the model so as not to get Dolby Advanced Audio. therefore it can be seen that there is no bass and no sound Be strong in the X770. should imagine most people will use the headphones with the laptop, if you do not want the public or interfere with others but if you use sound board, regardless of the speaker, the disappointment is in line with what you would expect from this laptop.

Software

In contrast to desktop, notebook manufacturers, it seems that they need more users to other software, allowing them to get the most from your computer, which often leads to a large number of programs that are not in use, and only to space. In fact, most of them are producers of their own versions of Windows as well. Normally this would be fine, but if you have a SSD with a lot less power than regular HDD will be a problem. Toshiba is no different, and the number of pre-installed software includes many tools for your own (which I will come to old age) and as Skype, Google Chrome, McAfee Anti-Virus and abbreviations BBC iPlayer desktop to your favorite sites, and Toshiba online music, video and games downloads store .

Preinstalled WildTangent Games Console to access the online system, which includes 11 games already on the laptop (but waiting for the purchase and installation), and many others that you can buy and download the game .. Most of the game is one of those things that are on the iPad or Android tablets that nothing special, but they look good with 3D enabled. It must also have an Internet connection goes down, everything will still work.

Toshiba software, you will find many applications in all aspects of the laptop. To be fair to them, Toshiba eased her most of the software that came with the previous models X770, and not constantly bombarded with messages again. When prompted, simply check the box and never again. For example, when you move the Toshiba HDD Protection Software appears that the transfer of the disk drive head in a safe place, you can simply turn off the message. Other applications, such as Toshiba TEMPRO reports any warnings related to the system, such as health problems, and BIOS software and Toshiba at service stations. It's basically a version of himself Toshiba Windows Update notifies you when new updates are available in the software installed on the Toshiba.

Other software installed on the Toshiba Blu-ray player, camera applications PC Health Monitor and Hi-Speed ​​Run. This is the last to create your own virtual Toshiba sleep / hibernate when closing the system to run faster. There are many more applications than can be found listed here, but the last one worth mentioning is the installation of HW. It is a fast access to a variety of settings, such as changing the key features of the equipment back to the traditional keyboard settings so that when you press F1. It also manages to add a password or change the boot priority, for example. As mentioned above, most of these applications is their own version of people, Toshiba, that can be installed on Windows, and if you are in the middle or an experienced computer user probably would not want one of them, but some of them are to use them. However, because it is a "game", a laptop and wants to get as much juice out of it, it would be wise to remove everything that is not used can be easily removed if necessary.
Attempts game

Qosmio X870 is equipped with a NVIDIA GTX 670 m with 3 GB of RAM and 10 GB of RAM, with the help of video 16 GB of RAM. Do not be fooled into thinking the same as the GTX670 graphics card for desktop computers is not clear. GTX670M chip is equivalent in terms of space GTX4600 Nvidia. As the cost of 1,700 pounds and stand out from the crowd, Toshiba really are better equipped than 680 mm.

Game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3
Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3

Released shortly after Battlefield 3 in November 2011, Modern Warfare 3, the latest annual report from the Call of Duty series. This is not a hard game at all and like most Call of Duty games will work well on most computers. Disappointment is improving almost every FPS in this game, as we saw in the previous X770 models. With all that high (even permitted MW3) 74 FPS looks very good and a perfect game, but continue to fight in 3D mode only allows FPS thirty-second of the game, even as light as it really emphasizes that you should not expect to play in modern 3D games with this laptop, if you want something other than a very low setting and frame rate is very poor.

Game Battlefield 3

Battlefield 3
Battlefield 3

Released in October 2011, Battlefield 3 is the long awaited sequel to the hugely popular Battlefield 2 Construction of the original frostbite engine used in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Frostbite 2.0, in order to monitor the hardware to its full potential. I7-3610QM of processor, even in turbo mode, only up to 3.3 GHz, NVIDIA GTX670M in the system who are struggling. The use of high sensitivity is almost unplayable game gives only 21 frames per second in 3D mode and rooms.

After setting the carrier frequency have an image that is at least playable. Refresh rate of 34 medium and 50 in the better in the low level, you can at least find a way that allows you to 1920x1080 and the game is still relatively smooth. The result is a significant improvement over the previous model, and in fact, it's in 3D is playing, which is only 15 FPS, even in power saving mode.

Game Max Payne 3

Max Payne 3
Max Payne 3

Released for the PC in June 2012 and ends in bullet time feature is great, it is one of the first-person shooter critics that these systems are at least a whore. With three games to test the system, which provides the most demanding workout. Unfortunately, it was too much effort. 3D can be played on all settings of 1920 x 1080, with each one set to the lowest 27 FPS reported only play betting limit. Reduce the resolution, of course, will increase the playback speed, it is clear that the game is starting to look worse when you do. Even in 3D, not learned the refresh rate supported up to 800 x 600 resolution used is not something that should be fun.

Failure to Max Payne 3 as well as to test and play to deal with a small number of frames per second in BF3 in 3D, so the game looks impressive and the 3D works well with a real depth to it, and without loss of clarity and quality. Our only problem is the small icon in the screen does not work well when in 3D. But in the first 3D shooter game is probably not something to sit for long, because although it is nice to see, can promote headaches in the long run. Nvidia 3D Vision system works perfectly, no problems, easy to turn on and off in a quick shortcut on the keyboard.

Home Cinema and Blu-Ray

All modern PCs today, you can easily connect the HDMI cable to the system and you can go. Windows 7 has become very easy to automatically clone a laptop equipped with an HDMI cable and the sound automatically went for it, without changing any settings. With pre installed Toshiba Blu-ray player, no problems with video playback and everything went without stuttering or other problems. The only problem is the sound. Unfortunately, Toshiba does not mean that HD output signals, the PCM signal is detected to disappoint my amplifier. The amendment is to download a trial version of Power DVD 12 and quickly change the audio amplifier reported True HD and DTS-HD MA in all its glory.

Bluray Player Software, based laptops, such as Power DVD, 12, and even Toshiba Bluray player software, you'll get a faster loading time and again function. Although depending on the disc, if available, fully functional, even if the hard drive and turn it off. Testing with our usual Transformers, Thor and Star Trek Blu-ray without any problems at all playing 1080p 24 frames per second. Images are sharp and clear, without stuttering, slow down or crash. As mentioned above, the increase in noise, but it's more noticeable when you have them on your lap or in their vicinity. Probably, if you use it as part of a home theater system at a distance from you, so that the noise is less of a problem. Associated with my Windows 7 HomeGroup, streaming audio and video files, economic, and Windows Media Center, video clips, pictures or anything that can be played with ease.
