Toshiba Qosmio X775-3DV80 17.3-Inch 3D Gaming Laptop - Fusion X2 Finish in Red Horizon

I purchased this laptop a little over a month ago and I am really happy with some aspects and disappointed with others. The 3D works great. The movies look good and so do the games played in 3D. It has some upconvert abilities when it comes to the 3D. It will upconvert DVDs only and not blurays or so far as I can tell. I could never get standard blurays to play in 3D but I'm sure you can find software that will do it. The PC runs great for normal activities but when it comes to gaming it does not run so great. The PC runs hotter than most as it is, although nothing too bad under normal use, however, when you try to play a game you get stutter for maybe 30 seconds where the frame rate drops significantly. This happens about every minute or two so it is annoying. The graphics are great but this stutter is a major issue that has not been addressed by Toshiba yet. For me even when I lower the graphics the stutter still occurs so it doesn't seem to matter. If you look this issue up on the Toshiba forum you will find several people having the same problem without an apparent solution. If Toshiba puts out an update to fix this problem I would give it 5 stars and recommend it but as it stands I would only recommend this computer if you don't plan on gaming. Weird that this laptop is advertised for gaming but yet has such a problem with doing the very thing it was marketed to do. **UPDATE** I forgot to revise my review but after the BIOS update the games play fine now without any stutter. I give the laptop 5 stars now.

Let me just say this is my first 3d capable laptop I have seen other 3d capable devices and was not impressed. Even considered them gimmicks. All that changed once this laptop showed up for my door.

This laptop is replacing my asus g73 Gaming laptop while a great laptop I do believe the Toshiba trumps it in several categories

Obviously this is the 2nd gen Intel Sandy bridge and blows away the other i7 chip in the asus

it also has the GTX 560m 3d capable video card. Which was a nice upgrade

The screen size remained the same but the Toshiba pulls off a win here as its a bit nicer quality the true 1080p resolution capabilities prob. help it in this categorize

Really It dominates the Asus except for the following in my opinion

I think the Asus design is more appealing

I think the keyboard is much nicer on the asus from a touch and input perspective.

the touch pad buttons are huge steps up from the Toshiba buttons.

So far i love this laptop and looks like its going to work out for a long time to come.

I bought a Qosmio X775-3Dv80 after Xmas from Amazon in 2011. Screen went bad the first week. Amazon sent me a new one. 3D and display card went south 2 weeks later on the second one. Amazon sent me another replacement.

Kudos for Amazon!!!

Wifi went out 3 weeks later on the 3rd one. Called Toshiba instead of Amazon. Toshiba repaired it (reinserted the wifi card).

5 months later, wifi crapped out again. Sent back to Toshiba. Toshiba repaired and sent it back.

However, upon reception back from the repair, I found a 2-inch long crack on one corner & a chip on the top cover, prying marks inside (trying to get the keyboard out?), and keyboard not seated all the way in. The shipping package undamaged

I contacted Toshiba again and was promised a "complementary" one (I didn't ask for it)

Days later when I called them about it, Tosh rep said NO such RECORD, but told me to send it back for repair.

I did so and got an email from Toshiba saying warranty doesn't cover cracks, and wanting $175.99 to fix it. What???? They broke it.

Called them again and got transferred to a case manager. I spent 30min with him explaining that Toshiba wanted to charge me for damage cause by the repairman, etc. He just kept repeating "Toshiba's warranty policy does not cover physical damages.", and " is there anything else I can help you with?" no matter what I tried to explain.

The previous rep told me to send it back in for repair instead of sending me a different unit???

I was so discussed that I told him "just send it back". It took them 5 weeks to send the damaged laptop back to me.

I am happy with my purchase. I have no real complaints about this laptop, the only problem I have had is with the 3D viewing falling out of synch after a few minutes of viewing with the 3D glasses, which tech support tells me will be resolved with a BIOS update which they will walk me through. Very fast, beautiful large display, handles anything I have thrown at it. Highly recommended.

Want Toshiba Qosmio X775-3DV80 17.3-Inch 3D Gaming Laptop - Fusion X2 Finish in Red Horizon Discount?

I have had this computer for about a year when it started shutting down without warning. No error message, no blue screen of death, no kernel dump. It just shuts down completely and doesn't come back up again. So I did a search on the internet and found that this is a common problem with the model and many people have experienced it. Apparently the only cure is to have the unit replaced with a different model. If you get the same model, the same issue will crop up sooner or later. Toshiba is aware of this issue but still continues to sell a defective product. Before you decide to purchase this product, just do a search on the internet using the model name and 'shutdown' and you'll see what I mean.
