    Here is the website:

    http://explore.toshiba.com/laptops/qosmio/X305


    Some models include
    Go at Gaming with Both Barrels.

    The combination of two NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800M GTX SLI® graphics cards, with 1GB DDR3 discrete graphics memory, multiplies your gaming performance. Enjoy unbelievably realistic textures, lighting and more, along with faster frame rates and near-split second response time on even the most demanding Direct X 10 games and applications.

    This is quite interesting, especially if it would be paired with an x9100 along with overclockability. Then, this machine would be absolutely blazing.


    Also, why is the x305-Q701 $50 more than the x305-Q705? It is the same thing but has a 320GB 7200 RPM HD instead of a 200GB one.

    Wow Toshiba is on a roll. Its always nice to see new faces in the gaming market. However they have a looong way ahead of them if u want to succeed in it. Everyone can put 2 GPUs together but making them stay cool is another problem so I m wondering how this will end up.

    PS.
    then again is says GTX SLI but u can only buy GTS SLI for now at least.

    You know its funny i had said a couple of days ago that toshiba was coming back and some guys here on NBR were like no. It just shows you how ignorant some people can be. But yes there is also rumor this notebook will have a quadcore option VERY INTERESTING the million dollar question is what are they gonna do with the display, are they gonna upgrade it? Some people complained the original X305 at Best Buy had a crappy screen.

    Yes: Id like to see:

    2.53ghz intel quad core qx9300 or 3.06ghz x9100 both overclockable
    or new Intel Nehalem i7 core
    4gb 1333mhz RAM or 8GB option
    2x 320gb 7200rpm hd
    17" 1920x1200 screen

    that would be sweet, probably $3000 +
