    :eek:
    Hey Guys, only lately I take a good look at the upgraded Qosmio line,
    I can say that this thing would fit my needs almost perfectly:
    Qosmio x505-Q894
    Yet I could not find any recent review about it (only older model apprently)
    So I would like to know if anyone got it already D:
    I'm mostly curious about:
    How cool the screen is (I heard they aren't so good)
    How are the CPU/GPU tems
    How easy is to upgrade RAM/HDD (maybe with an SSD)
    Does it really come with one year international warranty? Cuz I'll be buying in from USA but then I'll move back in italy

    Thanks to anyone who'll help

    Usually international warranties apply when the computer is also sold in the other country. Are the X505s sold in Italy? If they are not, I think the warranty is pretty much useless, but I might be wrong. Contact a Toshiba representative to know for sure.

    You can read an user review of the Q893 here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/toshiba/526399-toshiba-qosmio-x505-q893-user-review.html

    If you are planning to buy from Toshiba Direct (there are several deals going on right now), don't forget to use the coupon GAMING100 to get $100 off.

    Toshiba "limited international warranty" applies internationally with exception that they could charge you for shipping of country-specific parts (ie if you repairing US model in Italy, even if its a warranty repair). How expensive this charge could be - no idea.
