5 out of 5 stars   Awesome machine - words cannot describe!

Review submitted for Toshiba 18.4" / 4GB DDR3 500GB HD 7200rpm Blu-Ray NVIDIA GeForce 360M i7 740 QM (TBX505Q888)
Pros: Powerful, Fast, Faster than my netbook, Unbelkieveable screen, Awesome power
Cons: Some crudware as always, Bit bigger than myNetbook
Other Comments: Disclaimer:I am PC techie with 20 years on every PC and Windows out there. So my wife says I'm stoopid. What does she know? This is an awesome laptop. Huge. I mean frackin HUGE. fantastic display. I could read it blindfolded. Like lookinbg at a 50in Plasma at 15 ft. Only clearer. Everything about it works well and is well designed. 2 Drive slots, 8gb memory(I upgraded to GSkill), eSata. What more could you want...? Maybe a brain transplant and looks like McDreamy... wait that's mutually exclusive, I'll stick with what I got. Definitely my desktop replacement, can do anything and I mean ANYTHING on this beast. Video encoding just flies. Just remember that any 18 inch laptop is NOT going to be portable unless you're Arnold, and your lap will look like Chernobyl if you're gaming on the sofa, and if you put it down on your bed it will catch fire as the vents are on the bottom, and you'll underestand. I have it on an Alto Connect Stand and it vents just fine and is solid. There are Gadgets out there to monitor heat and usage on your desktop. Don't buy one if you're an eedjet, as the bad reviews are misleading - Clean off the stuff you don't want, update the BIOS and CERTIFIED drivers for everything from Toshiba's website, and it'll run like the wind. I am constantly amazed how companies like Toshiba cease production of their best products and replace them with worse products every year-to me that's crazy-to them it's a new product and growth in bottom line, I suppose. This is one machine that should never have been EOL'd. It's just that good. Going for Peace. Out.

4 out of 5 stars   Replace your desktop

Review submitted for Toshiba 18.4" / 4GB DDR3 500GB HD 7200rpm Blu-Ray NVIDIA GeForce 360M i7 740 QM (TBX505Q888)
Pros: Surprisingly quiet, Great Speakers, Room for another 25 HD, Beautiful Big Screen, 12 apps open no problem, Fastest machine I've had
Cons: Multimedia key placement, Bloatware
Other Comments: Our home business requires a constant mix of right brain and left brain challenges. With the right software this machine could handle just about anything. I just wish hardware companies would give options on what they put on our hard drives. Spending so much time removing the "bloatware" was not a good use of my time.

3 out of 5 stars   Okay but could be better
By Ramboski on March 14, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Toshiba 18.4" / 4GB DDR3 500GB HD 7200rpm Blu-Ray NVIDIA GeForce 360M i7 740 QM (TBX505Q888)
Pros: Screen
Cons: Multimedia buttons, Battery life
Other Comments: Its the perfect desktop replacement. The resolution isn't what I expected, it isn't so great. The Battery life wont last you abit. When typing, the multimedia buttons are close enough to be accidentially hit while working with other programs and it brings up windows media which is annoying. I would have bought the x505-q894 if I were to do it again.

5 out of 5 stars   Gamer Pro - highly recommended
By MassiveCodpiece on March 08, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Toshiba 18.4" / 4GB DDR3 500GB HD 7200rpm Blu-Ray NVIDIA GeForce 360M i7 740 QM (TBX505Q888)
Pros: High performance, Game-worthy, Huge display
Cons: Poorly located media keys
Other Comments: WoW / MMORPGs run great, of course CoD:MW2 runs great with decent settings COD:Black Ops run like a champ - I let the game choose optimal video and it was screaming out of the box. I like the size of the screen, but the laptop is not very portable. It also creaks a little when opening and closing the lid, so I'm not sure about how that will be in the long-run. ONLY CON: To disable the touch-sensitive buttons to the left of the keyboard, you can run "hwsetup" but the problem is that you have to reboot to enable or disable them - so they pretty much stay disabled for me, unless I reboot specifically for watching a movie. My old Toshiba Satellite has those buttons above the number keys, and the only time I ever risked hitting them was when I was dusting. Overall a solid machine and it was everything I wanted at the right price.

Pros: Great machine, Great quality
Cons: Heavy
Other Comments: I use it for my business. The big screen is a plus. Also the keyboard is large and comfortable. You have to keep in mind that this laptop is heavy, so is no so good in portability.
