    I'm thinking of getting a Toshiba Qosmio G50. I wonder if there are people here who already own one. It will come out end of august in The Netherlands, where I am.

    From what I could gather the 102 version will have the intel P8600 (2,4 ghz), 4GB RAM, 640GB HDD and nVidia 9700M GTS 512 MB for a price around 1400 -1600 euros.

    Anyone have some experiences with this notebook? How is the build quality? The sound? General impressions?

    Info would be welcome. Thanks!

    Toshiba told me that the G50 models will be out end of august, so 15 - 20 august will be highly unlikely. If you google for Toshiba G50 in Dutch, you'll only find online shops stating they will carry the laptop. For what I could tell it will feature the cell processor.
