Toshiba Releases Glasses-Free 3D Laptop To Much Rejoicing

Qosmio_F755_3D

The Qosmio F755 3D laptop is now available for those who wish to live in the 2D world but – and only occasionally – may also want to view things in 3D. The laptop uses a “15.6-inch diagonal full HD TruBrite® display with Active Lens” to display both 2D and 3D images (sample shown here may not represent actual display, your results may vary, consult a doctor before playing 3D games, 3D gaming could cause headaches, nausea, a feeling that 3D is BS, the croup, accidental ingestion of your wedding ring, dance, Gary Oldman’s Disease, vestigial tail growth).

The laptop runs a Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce 540M and allows for HD video and Blu-Ray playback.

The laptop will start at $1,700 when it is available mid-August. Click through for the full press release. → Read More

Toshiba Notebook First To Simultaneously Display 2D And 3D Images On One Screen

Toshiba’s Regza tablet wasn’t the only computer-related device the company introduced today: the dynabook Qosmio T851/D8CR is what big T says the world’s first notebook that can produce 2D and 3D images simultaneously, on one screen. The 2D images have 1,920×1,080 resolution, while users can view pictures in 3D in 1,366×768 resolution – no glasses required. → Read More

Toshiba's Dynabook Qosmio V65 is a high-end laptop, Blu-ray player and DTV in one

Toshiba in Japan announced [JP] a new Qosmio laptop today, the Dynabook Qosmio V65. The main selling point of the device (of all Qosmios, in fact) is the “multi-media” capability: Toshiba promises that the laptop produces high-quality images, thanks to the SpursEngine coprocessor (that Toshiba has been using in its CELL TV and Qosmio laptops since 2008), LED backlight, and the 15.6-inch “Clear SuperView LED” HD TFT screen with 1,366×768 resolution. → Read More

Toshiba Japan intros two new Qosmio laptops

Toshiba today announced a number of new laptops in its Dynabook and Qosmio series [JP] in Japan. More notable than the Dynabook models are two Qosmio notebooks that are geared towards the heavy gamer segment and will go on sale in Japan at the end of this month and at the beginning of January, respectively. The Qosmio FX (15.4- inch screen) and the Qosmio GX (18.4-inch screen) are equipped with a Core 2 Duo P8600 CPU (2.4 GHz), 4 GB of RAM, a 320 GB HDD, NVIDIA’s GeForce 9600M GT graphic card, 4 USB ports, a fingerprint sensor, WiFi, a DVD SuperMulti Drive and one HDMI port. → Read More

Toshiba Qosmio announces X305-Q708 notebook powered by quad-core Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU

Just when you thought that the sun had set on using the word “extreme” for everything, here comes a verbal solar flare to light it all right back up. Buzzwords aside, it’s almost certain that the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q708 is exponentially more powerful than whatever computer you’re using at this very moment. It should be, too, with an MSRP of just under $4,200 (my first car cost $4,000). Toshiba says it’s available from ToshibaDirect.com and a variety of retailers, but I’m unable to find it at the moment. I’m guessing it’ll surface soon, though. → Read More

Toshiba Booth Tour

I love the Qosmio line of Toshiba laptops and this collection of Gigabeats, phones, and cameras made me pee a little. Essentially the entire laptop line is very slick with unique touches like HDDVD playback and odd applications for music and photo viewing. → Read More

Toshiba Releases Several Laptops, One of Which Has HD DVD Drive

I love it when companies release a bunch of products simultaneously. That either means 1) they want to flood the airwaves with news of their products or 2) none of the products are all that hot, so they release them all at the same time to dull the pain. My opinion, not anyone else’s here. Right, so, Toshiba just announced an HD DVD-having Qosmio and a few new Satellites. The Qosmio F45-AV412, henceforth the AV412, is a multimedia workhorse, with the aforementioned HD DVD drive, as well as an HDMI output and roomy 250GB hard drive, albeit one that spins at only 4,200RPM. It also has 802.11n. Righteous! → Read More
