    Ok. I got really impressed with this laptop, and i know that Toshiba is a very reliable brand.
    I would like to know if they are considering to release a version with an Nvidia 9800 GTS/GT/GTX since i am considering in getting one.

    Do you guys know if Toshiba offers worldwide warranty?
    I'll be moving to Europe in 5 months and want to know if i can get support there in case something happens...

    About if they'll release a laptop with and 9800, who knows, maybe yes, maybe no, they didn't release any with a 8800 so probs are they won't...

    About the worldwide warranty... Yes they do offer warranty around the globe... Just go to their website / service & support... There you'll find a nearby service center... But look for the ones marked with I (international warranty)... I'm in venezuela and even here they have service centers... So i'm sure they'll have several centers in Europe...

    They already offer the X300 with the 9800M GTX in Europe. Hopefully soon it will be offered here in the USA. I hope this helps. God Bless :)

    As we are talking about the x305, anyone know its gaming capabilities, as it has the 9700 GTS.

    Just need to know because for 1399CAD its is quite affordable for my Canadian Location (Importing/Buying Laptops over-borders is Tax-Heavy and very complicated/Difficult).

    And this is the best "High-End" Laptop BestBuy Canada has to offer...i know, Canada has it bad....we don't even get the Gateway FX's

    Hi
    This should come with an international warranty. I bought and X205 last year when I was visiting the States and when I got it home to Blighty the disk tray failed (kept popping open at random times). I phoned the U.S support desk who in turn gave me the number for the U.K support desk, I registered the laptop here and Toshiba sent a courier picked it up and repaired it and sent it back within a week with no charge!

    The above reason is why i'm thinking about the X305 myself when I visit the U.S in October knowing that if it goes tits up when I bring it home I can have it repaired. The only thing holding up my decsion is that the Gateway P7811FX looks a tasty machine so i'll have to wait and see!

    (P.S there is going to be a X305 with a 9800GTX released some time its called the X305-Q702 and if this releases by the time i cross the pond its going to be a no brainer for me!) ;)

    Your not the only one over here in the UK i cant find the gateway laptops anywhere except a couple of low models, The Qosmio has different name (in stead of x305) over here but i am really considering it, its between that or a rockdirect laptop
