14 DAY TRIAL // As you probably remember, we’ve just presented Toshiba’s new Qosmio X875 here. Today, the Japanese electronics manufacturer is reportedly launching their Qosmio X870 model.
This is also a 17” model with a 3D screen. The Toshiba Black Widow theme is also present along with two high quality Harman Kardon speakers, just like all the other Qosmio models build in the last years.
As a notebook that addresses the needs and desires of the gaming enthusiasts, the X870 is powered by the third-generation Intel Quad-Core processor using Ivy Bridge architecture, and uses Nvidia’s Fermi-based (not Kepler-based) GTX670M graphics with 3GB GDDR5 VRAM. All these should be sufficient to handle most intensive applications and games.
The 17” screen is, as we said, 3D-enabled and sports a full high definition (HD) resolution. It supports the latest Nvidia 3D Vision active shutter glasses and Nvidia LightBoost technology for immersive 3D viewing experience.
The Qosmio X870 also comes equipped with a Blu-ray disc player and HDMI connector that lets you stream 3D content from the portable machine to a 3D-capable TV.
The high quality finish is just what Toshiba presented us in all the latest Qosmio models.
There will be 2TB of hard drive space or a hybrid SSD option, four USB 3.0 ports (two Sleep-and-Charge USB ports), Gigabit LAN, Bluetooth, a Full HD webcam with Face Recognition technology, and a red backlit keyboard.
As we can see in the pictures, the X870 comes with a large trackpad with multi-touch control that’s perfect for the gaming enthusiasts.
The Harman Kardon stereo speakers come with Slip Stream technology and SRS Premium Sound 3D and the price will be around $3,699.
That’s around €2,815 for the European gamers, but as we all know, all the manufacturers love to overcharge us so we expect the new Qosmio model price to be over €3,000.
