Comments on Toshiba Qosmio G50-115 18.4in Entertainment Notebook

An interesting, generally well-built notebook with some unique features including top-class DVD upscaling and excellent speakers, the Toshiba G50-115 is tragically denied a potential Recommended Award by its poor screen. Other than this, however, it's a very good machine so if your budget stretches a little further and Blu-ray isn't of interest, one of the more expensive models with a better screen is worth serious consideration and should deliver the all-round multimedia excellence the Qosmio line has always been known for.

I've just bought one. I agree the picture could be better, however when moving a little further away from the screen than usual I found a vast improvement. I toyed with the idea of purchasing the G50-10H (+£300), but after receiving expert advice... G50-10H = 35W, G50-115 =25W the less heat a laptop generates the better... I went for the G50-115 but now regret not buying the full HD G50-10H. Oh well, no doubt it will all be out-dated in a month or so then I can hopefully convince the missus that it's essential I upgrade. My previous laptop, Toshiba Satellite P240 with it's much weaker T2400 processor displays an equal if not better quality picture, She's taken charge of it now. Hope my comments are of interest.

This computer also has Maxx Audio in here. For those who don’t know Maxx Audio is made by Waves. They make the coolest Studio software FX, if you like plying music on your computer – this is the one for you.
