The fan makes a bit of noise, but only kicks in when a heavy demand is placed on the computer. It works via a small vent on the left side of the notebook, so if you place the computer on a surface that doesn t allow for venting beneath, the fan can still vent from the side.

By default, the hard drive was setup in one large NTFS partition. I was able to use Partition Magic without difficulty to split this up into 3 smaller partitions.

Toshiba supplied one Product recovery DVD-ROM, and one Express Media Player Recovery CD. The Recovery DVD-ROM gives you the option to either install individual drivers and applications, or to restore the original system default install.

To test and compare this notebooks processor performance to other notebooks I ran the program called Super Pi. This is a simple program that allows you to calculate the value Pi to a selected number of digits. When plugged in and running at full performance, the best time to calculate 2 million digits of accuracy for Pi was 2:17. When running on battery power (long life mode at 600 MHz), with the same programs running in the background, this time increased to 9:55. I only ran Super_Pi once under those conditions! So there is a great variance in performance, depending on how you have everything set-up in the Toshiba Power Saver program.

With my current set-up, startup and shutdown are quick (about 25 seconds for startup and 10 seconds for shutdown), however these would probably vary based on how many applications you have starting up and shutting down. Running McAfee Virus Scan in the background, for example, adds greatly to the shutdown time.

This notebook comes with a Toshiba one year standard warranty, which is also International. I haven t had any experience with customer support yet, so I can t comment on it. I m still not sure if I will extend to warranty for two additional years.

Overall, I really like this notebook. Although I did mention some cons above, there is nothing serious enough to warrant a disclaimer against buying this notebook. I would recommend it to anybody who wants a good all around notebook. It is a bit pricy, however, at full cost.

Gaming notebooks have been around for a few years now and getting a good one has been easy assuming you have heaping piles of cash. For those of us on a budget, we were stuck with mid-range GPUs and big compromises in the visual settings of our games until Gateway’s FX line came out last winter. Today we’ll be looking at Toshiba’s answer to higher performance on a budget, the Toshiba Qosmio X305/300 gaming notebook.HP Laptop Battery & Adapter Online Shopping Mall - new-laptopbattery.com http://www.new-laptopbattery.com/hp.html

It’s easy to say a notebook has game and the throw some vague slides on a company website (cough, Apple) but the nice thing about this segment is that imposters are quickly uncovered. Your notebook can either play a game as the developer intended (at or near max settings) or it cannot. Sure, you can suffer through some games with all the visual settings dialled-down on mainstream notebooks but that isn’t what this segment is about. These notebooks are extreme machines – “Sharks with freakin’ laser beams!”

Starting with the Satellite P30 series a few years ago, Toshiba has been easing themselves into the gaming notebook segment. Last year’s X200/205 was armed with dual GPUs in SLI and was a pretty big hit. The X305 has big shoes to fill in order to make the right impression – so Toshiba started by ramping up the looks.

While there is no accounting for taste, I think the X305’s hot rod inspired flames look appropriately hot. Its lid has multi-hued metallic red flames (Metallic Bordeaux Fire Shark according to Toshiba). Red plastics wrap around the chassis and extend around the keyboard. Near the hinge the plastic is translucent and backlit. The palm rests are black textured plastic. When placed on a flat surface, the X305 exhibits no warped plastics or chassis. Four large rubber feet raise the notebook about a quarter inch from the surface allowing plenty of room for air circulation.

Handling the X305 the second thing you will notice is that this notebook feels quite sturdy overall although there are some weak spots. The cool-looking lid feels thin and flimsy and the right palm rest flexes. Given the X305’s weight you might expect some chassis creaking as you carry it around, but there isn’t any. With the exception of the keyboard, that we will get to in a moment, everything else is pretty firm.

Like most notebooks these days, hinge tension works in place of an LCD latch mechanism. Mechanical hinge latches are not mechanisms that I miss – those were typically the first part to fail on a notebook. At 9.1 lb. and 2.5″ thick you won’t want to tote this around college campus. Width is 16.25″ and length is 12″ – a bright red manhole cover comes to mind when thinking about the X305’s portability. For its intended purpose of gaming, moving between rooms occasionally and being shown off at LAN Parties the weight won’t be an issue. Toshiba chose the LG Philips LPLA101 LCD panel for the X305. This 17.1″ display is bright with good contrast, color saturation and a 1440 x 900 resolution. This resolution is a good match for the 9700m GTS video card. You will be able to run most games at native resolution. The screen is usable at the lowest brightness setting but most people will probably settle on 50%. Horizontal viewing angles are good with no color inversion at really sharp angles. Vertical viewing angles were typical of TN panels with inversion of colors past a certain point – but that’s no a big deal, that is what the hinge is for. Above the display are the webcam and microphone.

Underneath the X305 there is a depressing lack of access panels. You will need to completely tear down the notebook to access its socketed CPU and MXM 3.0 module. If anyone from Toshiba reads this consider the following:Acer Laptop Battery & Adapter Online Shopping Mall - new-laptopbattery.com http://www.new-laptopbattery.com/acer.html

Most people keep their notebooks for 2-3 years. During this time Toshiba probably makes zero dollars off its existing clients. A simple-to-install MXM module for a notebook would provide a revenue opportunity. Gaming notebooks owners might buy a $300 GPU upgrade or two during the 2-3 year life of their notebook. Seems pretty simple to me – and the future proofing and novelty of this would be worth a press release and some juicy marketing bullet points. It would be nice if one of the big brand notebook makers would support this (Dell’s upgradable XPS line was rather half-hearted). A company like OCZ will probably beat them too it though with their D.I.Y. notebook line.

NVIDIA’s GeForce 9700m GTS GPU powers the X305. Many people will consider this the most important part. The 9700m GTS is based on the G94 GPU – a significantly more powerful part that is used in the 9800m series. Really, this should be considered part of the 9800m series. It delivers excellent gaming performance. Here are some of the salient points:

What do these bullet points mean? The core and shader speeds are faster than the 8800m GTS, but the 9700m GTS only has 48 unified shader units. This means (everything else being equal) the video system in the X305 delivers about 75-80% of the performance of an 8800m GTS or 9800m GS.You probably want to know how it plays games right? First the synthetic results – the X305 scores 7,325 points in 3DMark06. This is good score that puts the X305 in the same ballpark as rivals like the Gateway P-6860FX. 3DMark is easy to optimize for and does not really stress the GPUs as much as games do so let’s see how the X305 fares in the following games:All games were tested at the X305’s native LCD resolution 1440×900. Games were tested using FRAPs while playing through the first ten minutes to arrive at the minimum, average and maximum frame rates measured in frames per second. This will give you a good idea of what playing demanding games on the X305 will be like.
