I wish to know which one of these two is better, the Toshiba Qosmio X70-AST3G26 Laptop or this one?

I own the Asus Rog and i can tell you that is a beast. It can run everithing, but is really big and heavy.If you want to game, the asus Rog is better.But if you want a portable laptop i think that Toshiba is easy to transalade.

The only difference is 500GB of non SD - extra storage and 16GB of exrra RAM. The Qosmio's are known to over heat and my ASUS (so far) hasn't overheated after 8 hours of continuous game play. The system runs quiet too. Despite the the fact it's pretty heavy (though not too heavy), the laptop is a solid choice. Also, the Nvidia 880M (4GB) is a very very good card and you can't go wrong with that. I would have to look at the screen definition. However my ROG is HD and I assume the Samsung is too. Good luck with your purchase!

Difficult question. I've never owned a Toshiba, and most people giving reviews here will likely be biased toward their own machine. I will say that a bit light research indicates: (1) ASUS NVIDIA GPU is later generation than Toshiba's and has an extra Gb of RAM, so you're going to get better graphical performance with ASUS; (2) the difference in i7-4700HQ (Asus) versus i700MQ (Toshiba) is negligible, per CPUBoss.com (slightly higher overclock capacity with Asus, if you're into that kind of thing). For the price difference, it might make sense to take a closer look at Toshiba. That said, this is my second Asus and they've both been amazing machines, so I have no regrets staying with this manufacturer.

The Asus would be my choice. I've hadToshiba laptops and they have been much lower quality on my experience.

I guess an owner of that laptop would be a better answer but as for me I have a TOSHIBA Qosmio X505-Q892. It has an 18.5 screen. It's tight but I can zip it with an iPad in the same compartment. I think the Asus has a 17.5 I guess it depends how they measure it. I originally got it because this was the only laptop bag big enough for my laptop. Not sure if that's helpful or not.

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 is rated higher than Samsung. It is the best decision I ever made in buying a computer equipment. It is reliable and efficient.

I looked on the properties and yes the prcessor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2,40 GHz not 3,2 GHz as you say it shows in amazon. The laptop works pretty fast and it doesn't overheat easily.

apparently not you, so why are you here?show me a laptop with similar quality screen, weight, and battery life that has a better processor, video, trackpad, OS, appearance and price, cause i need to buy one.

I did my homework and these were the two I came down to as well. Honestly, I think you'll be pleased with either. I haven't had the Asus in hand; I went with the Toshiba, as that's where my heart kept going back to. They're very close, feature/spec-wise. (I trust you're not expecting 720p+ video, because that does not play well on most netbooks.) Asus should have longer battery life, and it has built-in bluetooth. (Bluetooth USB adapter runs $20-25 otherwise.) The Toshiba is downright beautiful, and its texture won't pick up fingerprints. I don't know what the Asus screen is like; the Toshiba screen is excellent. I can vouch for Toshiba's multi-taskability, though I don't doubt Asus' capability at the same. I really think they'll both be loveable; what does your heart say?

On second thought, that Toshiba A3 recommendation seems kinda foolish now. Better to get what you want from the start...and not get derailed with a seemingly better deal.

I bought my wife the Toshiba R835 p56x - one of the many R835 models and she loves it. It is light, has great battery life, has a DVD, does everything you could want. http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Portege-R835-P84-Laptop/dp/B005Z5WDKK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1330816659&sr=8-4

BUY the extended warranty or use a credit card that will extend the manufacturer's product warranty! One of the USB 2 ports on my Qosmio X70_AST3GX1 stopped working 25 days after the 1-year warranty expired. Turns out other owners of Toshiba laptops (including the Qosmio) have had this very same problem.

yes, very good. i have no problems w/ this laptop. only problem i had was the touchpad. since i bought an optical mouse its works like a charm.

I currently have a Toshiba NB205-230 and the keys feel good, soft, and very quiet. My only complaint with the one a bought is Win7starter, but that is easily fixed. Even for what I used it for, which was long distance communication and holding data it was a great help to me.

Thanks Felix for that really helpful postI have Toshiba Qosmio and fasing the same issue here, the main thing that graped me to this one because ToshibaDirect.com has the same model number but different dimensionshttp://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=474654That what made me thin they are the same and it can fit 18.4 screen

Actually this is just a normal laptop. Almost same as the toshiba laptop, no different. the OS they provided is not that good, it bundled with a lot of useless software, you might want to install the WIN8 again. And it can't make any CD/DVD because there is no CD-ROM. It's energy save, that mean you can have a long battery life. But because of the energy save, the hard disk and the graphics card are not good enough for you play games. And that's weird they put a 24GB low quality SSD in the laptop, if they use these money to put a better hard disk in will be better.But it still a good laptop for doing paper work. For the iTunes, every laptop can work well with iTunes. Actually this is just a normal laptop.

Kind of sorry to hear that you won't be our guinea pig. :) I understand why you would chicken out.Honestly, I am one of the minority of IT people I know who actually likes Vista. Still, there has been a lot of backlash about Vista. I suspect Windows XP will be around a lot longer than MS wanted. Only time will tell.In any case, you must have Vista check out that HP 2133. *****As another side note, I am curious if you were leaning towards this MSI Wind for the larger screen? Or did you not know about the new HP model?Toshiba and Sony have some small models too, although I've only seen high end ones. Don't know if they make ones comparable to this one.Soon, all the companies will have versions of them.

Those are very similar HDs with capacity and performance: 750 GB, 5400 rpm 8 MB cache ... just brand difference and warranty issues - Toshiba vs Generic (unknown) manufacture

Well in reality there both good, but if you asked me id go with the i5 if I had the money, the i5 operates on 2.7ghz and the Intel Celeron well 1.9ghz. Right of the bat you can see the difference. Now if the money is not available for i5, I would not hesitate to take the Toshiba, its not that is slow or bad, its just there are better laptops out there. I hope this answered it.

Hi Amazon buyer, The Toshiba Satellite C55-A5302 is a 15.6 inches laptop with the following specifications: - Intel Pentium Processor 2020M ( Pedro's question ) - 6 GB DDR3 1600 Mhz Memory with Intel Integrated Graphics - 500 GB. HDD DVD super multidrive - Windows 8 This machine is running with high performance engineering and architectural software as AutoCad and it is running smoothly. Intel Processor and Integrated graphics plus the price make cost vs. benefit ratio very positive. DVD tray is not as good as other models. This is my fourth Toshiba Satellite I bought for me and my family and we're very happy with its performance. Hoping this will help to make a good decision . . .
