Toshiba Qosmio G50-115 Notebook: Too expensive for its own good

Since the advent of Safari for Windows, practically all major PCs have become Safari compatible. When it comes to Safari compatible multimedia laptops there are few brands that can give Toshiba’s Qosmio range a decent competition. The latest from this exclusive range is the sophisticated and modern looking Qosmio G50-115 notebook, which is conspicuous for its powerful graphics, ultra-large display apart and host of high-end features.

The screen of this portable device is a real revelation and measures a cool 18.4 inches. You will get to view some of the most vivid, bright and true to life pictures that you have ever seen. The Toshiba Qosmio G50-115 however casts a shadow with its not so impressive image resolution capability of1680 x 945, which is a good distance adrift from what is provided by Full HD. The movie playback compatibility of the device nonetheless is rather solid, and is once again aided by the vivid colours on offer.

The device has also done away with the customary high-definition Blu-ray drive, and instead comes equipped with the company’s indigenously build Quad Core HD processor technology. The technology was sought to upscale standard DVD footage to HD quality, which is precisely the case if you want to watch movies on the laptop itself, as the images are pretty impressive and with a great degree of detail.

The downside of the device is that it costs a fortune, meaning that you can get similar other devices at that price but with the added benefit of a dual Blu-ray and HDMI that will allow you to connect the device to an external source to watch Blu-ray movies in their entirety.
