I'm aware of who Johnkss is. Thank you very much. He also posts around here, or used to at any rate. And how is the 9700M GTS is better than the 9800M GTS or 8800M GTS? The 9800M GTX is, but you pay a lot more. $2,200 is not exactly bargain gaming.
Secondly, the new iteration of the FX series is supposed to come with the P8400, 4GB DDR3 RAM 200 GB 7200 RPM, 1920 x 1200 and 9800M GTS for 1450. How does that NOT kick the living crap out of the Toshiba for price/performance? Even if it doesn't come with the 1920 x 1200 screen (which I suspect might be the case as the earlier FX series all came with 1440 x 900), it still beats the Q701 substantially for price/performance.
When not on sale, even the Q701 is more expensive than the new FX. The Q702 is $2,199. That's $750 more for the 9800M GTX, harmon kardon speakers, 1 less GB of DDR3 RAM, and a lower resolution screen. That doesn't seem to be quite worth it.
Here's the page for the Q702. Google cache.

The question about the screen was that my understanding was that the X305 suffered from a lid that flexed while opening it. No one is asking you or expecting you to be carrying it with the screen.

Compared to what, would it not be a bargain? You throw the GTX in any current config, which you won't receive til september, and how much would you spend with the new Chipset and ddr3?
Secondly, not sure where you're finding info on the new FX..cause I havent wasted the time to look. But, if you were looking at x305 stats a month ago you'd expect a 400GM HDD, and a GTX, and it's not out for another month or so.. when is this "supposed" to happen with the FX?
How much would it cost if you were to purchase the FX and upgrade the RAM, GPU(if even possible), and add a decent sound system? BTW, the Q702 won't be $2200 when finally released. Expect it for approx $300 less.
As I said before, I've never opened a laptop and never had flex. The idea is to make "lightweight" products for portability..right? If ya wanted a SOLID screen, you'd hook up to your TV.

Try using a business model laptop. Heck, even my 4 year old Inspiron doesn't flex when opening.
My point was that the 7811 FX comes with almost the same details as the Q702, except for the harmon kardon and 9800M GTX. You get more RAM and a higher resolution screen with the 7811FX. While I'm not wholly convinced the sheet as being completely accurate, as the sheet says WXGA and puts (1900 x 1200), hence why I mentioned my doubts about the screen in the earlier post.
Like I mentioned earlier, there's no guarantee that the spec sheet is accurate, however, the current price is supposed to be $1450 and available on August 14th. Even at $300 than 2,200, that's still $450 more than the FX. You're paying $450 for the speakers/GTX. A screen upgrade for the X305 will cost you about 200-300. As I recall the X305's first pricing mentioned $3,500, 1GB card, 400GB drives.
By the way, why do you say the Q702 will come out about $300 cheaper than BB's current price? -
