Toshiba P50t with Haswell

Toshiba P50t looks pretty good in the link below. Most noticeable part look like the cooling system on the left hand side, would make it pretty good for gaming on without burning your ASDW fingers and hand. I haven't really had any Toshiba's, especially recent ones, the look of them has not really appealed to me, and they usually feel a little bulky

The one I am looking at is spec with a i7-4700MQ, 1080p touch screen and a 745M GPU, do you think that the GPU will be GDDR5, if not will it be the crippled GK208 core?

Toshiba usually isn't into offering "gimped" versions of hardware [unless there is only a DDR3 or DDR5 version, not both]; hopefully it is the real deal.

 

Thanks for the reply, at to moment I am considering the new Toshiba over a new HP Envy 15-JXXX. Can you tell me what you think of this model, most importantly if you think the GPU will have GDDR5, click on the specs tab. Don't worry about the price,the entire country gets ripped off on prices here.

I cannot find anything on that Toshiba model regarding the DDR of the GPU [DDR5 vs DDR3].
I would wait until more details are released to confirm it does in fact have DDR5; you may have to call Toshiba to verify.

Other than the GPU, the specs look good.


Good luck

 

Uses Toshiba of GK107 core on P50T with 740M? Says nothing about DDR3 or GDDR5 but I suppose it is DDR3. Find nothing on Google ... : (
