Toshiba’s Qosmio X500 gaming laptop got a modest update earlier this year within the kind of the X505 , but it’s now getting a correct successor with the company’s new X770 model. As well as boasting a more metallic enclosure, this one actually shrinks the display from 18.4 inches to a rather more portable 17.3 inches (still 1920 x 1080), however it expectedly doesn’t compromise much in relation to other specs — the usual config offers a Core i7-2630QM processor, 8GB of RAM, 1.25TB of storage from a couple of hard drives, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M graphics. Also available is a separate X770 3D model, which adds a 3D webcam to the equation, together with a couple of active shutter glasses. Search for both to be available within the following couple of weeks, with prices starting at €1,300 (or roughly $1,850).
