Japanese company Toshiba has just sent out a press release announcing its new Qosmio gaming notebook line. The powerful mobile systems are powered by Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors.
The 17.3” model is called Qosmio X875 and also has a 3D version. The platform can handle up to 32 GB of DDR3 RAM, as the mainboard has four DIMM memory slots that already come equipped with 16 GB of RAM directly from the manufacturer.
The maximum working frequency for the memory modules is 1600 MHz.
The big 17.3” screen offers a 1600 x 900 resolution that is called HD+ by Toshiba and has TruBrite technology. It can also come with a FullHD panel with Nvidia 3D Vision 25 kit included with Lightboost.
The audio part is serviced by four Harman Kardon quality speakers with Toshiba’s Slipstream technology and SRS Premium Sound 3D capability.
It has an optical Blu-Ray drive and an HDMI port to output those FullHD images on an external device.
The video processing engine is powered by Nvidia’s Kepler generation GeForce 670M chip with 3GB of GDDR5 graphic memory.
Two HDD slots for up to 2 TB or storage are also available.
Although this might add to the weight of the device, it is good that it has two 2.5” bays because, this way, the user will be able to swap one of the HDDs for a fast SSD, and use it as the OS drive.
Connectivity is improved by means of four USB 3.0 ports, one VGA connector and an RJ45 LAN port. Also, the X875 has the standard headphones and microphone jack connectors along with the HDMI port.
The upper parts of the case are made of aluminum with a diamond-like texture. Just like older models, the X875 has a metallic red-and-black color scheme. The Qosmio logo on the top of the lid is glowing red just like the keyboard backlighting.
The pricing will start from 1,299 USD, but can easily reach 2,499 USD for the top configuration. This is around 995 EUR up to 1915 EUR for European buyers.
The Qosmio will start selling in Q3 2012, so Toshiba fans must wait quite a while before they’ll be able to get their hands on the Black Widow.
