    Looks like Toshiba is coming out with the next generation of Qosmios [not a x775 refresh]; I'm guessing it will launch with the Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs. Looks like us x775 and especially x505 owners are now obsolete :p

    Sir, I might just stick around with the Qosmio line after all. :) This looks wonderful! :)

    Well, it looks better than the current abomination, sure. I'm not entirely sold on it though.

    I'm guessing that thin body will still have problems with overheating.
    LED backlit, but still 17.3". Meh.
    Looks like metal, but probably textured plastic.
    Macbook style chiclet keyboard & touchpad...well, I think the touchpad is an improvement.
