    Hey guys i need help here about to order a Toshiba Qosmio X305, this machine is red hot sexy and it needs to be by myside when i walk into the board room to a meeting which should put a smile on my face.

    Do you guys recommend it?

    I have given up on my m15x the horrible troubles and quality has destroyed the glory of owning one. I will however buy a new Alienware Desktop direct from Alienwaren about 2 months time for my house. For now i need help with the Toshiba Qosmio X305, what do you think of it? Is it worth it to play games on?

    Yeah i do i just didnt want a bias answer :)

    I love the look of this x305 i might even buy the G50 just for the look alone.

    I have never played games on the m15x so i dont thnk i am bothered about the games but I knowToshiba is good quality.

    However i like AW support from experience they dont like to call back after hours or even the next working day but i have been dealing with Adam from Alienware and this guy really impressed me.

    Adam has been helping us since day 1 and has been doing a great job representing Alienware (i think he deserves a medal trying to fix my problematic m15x). He has been very sincere and a good listener I think that's the secret to good support (Just wished other AW CS would follow his lead our problems would get solved much faster and we would end up being a happy customer instead of a frustrated bees).

    If you carry it around a lot, look at the 15" F55, too. It's just as fast as the current X305 and it's smaller.

    I just checked it out from your recommendation, it would be perfect for my needs because i have to take my laptop on the chopper to fly to the oil rigs. Light weight means i could take more personal items on board with me.

    you can find that in 30s if need be. pick it up, shake it a bit, feel how solid it's build, try to twist it. done.
