Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850


$1,900.00 Released January, 2009

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Speakers are fairly loud for a laptop. Battery lasts a reasonable amount of time before it needs a charge. Keyboard looks beautiful, nice finish on it, and is comfortably laid out.

The Cons:Doesn't always get a strong WiFi connection, depends on the router. Glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet, needs constant cleaning. Fairly heavy construction, a bit of a burden to carry around.
