There are four new models to look at in this new range, which make the best of the Spurs Engine Technology that is used for encoding HD video at lightning speed in either YouTube HD mode or Blu-ray video. This is quite a bit of technology to handle and would not be worth the outlay if this technology is not used.

My Qosmio is junk. It is not windows compatable, and if you put any OS besides VISTA on it, including win 7, it voids the warranty, or at least that is what “Mon” the tech support guy told me. You can not upgrade the nVidia drivers because the install package says “You have no compatable nVidia hardware”. In SLI mode, black triangles fly around the screen when gaming. Finally, Toshiba’s idea of laptop support is to have the offshore guy tell you to hold ’0′ and restore the laptop to the out of box condition. They refuse to do anything else. Then after you spend your first two weeks reinstalling VISTA, Toshiba tells you it is too late to return this incomparable “PC” for a refund. It is shiny though. If it don’t work, chrome it.
Get yourself a PALM phone, much superior computer than the Qosmio.
