Toshiba Qosmio

Does the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q701 have space for an additional hard drive?

I was wondering if I could add an extra Hard drive or if I have to replace it.

The Q701 does not have a 2nd hard drive bay.

The Q725 does have a 2nd hard drive bay.

Tastatur

 

Das 15,6 Zoll Multimedia Notebook besitzt eine Tastatur die ebenso wie das Gehäuse mit einer Hochglanzoberfläche versehen ist.Toshiba PA3435U-1BAS Wie so vieles, hat auch dies seine Vor- und Nachteile, wobei wir der Meinung sind, dass die Nachteile hierbei überwiegen. Durch die Hochglanzlackierung sieht das Gerät zwar edler aus, allerdings sind diese Oberflächen bekannt dafür, sehr anfällig für Fingerabdrücke zu sein. Beim Displaydeckel könnte man die sichtbaren Fingerabdrücke mit viel Vorsicht auf ein Minimum beschränken, bei der Tastatur wird sich dies allerdings nicht vermeiden lassen.

Abgesehen davon scheint das Keyboard in Ordnung zu sein, auch wenn sich dieses unter Druck leicht durchbiegt. Der Druckpunkt ist deutlich spürbar und auch mit dem Gefühl beim Tippen sind wir zufrieden. 
Was die Geräuschkulisse betrifft, so kann es durchaus passieren, dass es bei energischerem Tippen etwas lauter wird. Ebenso war zu beobachten, dass das Display dabei etwas mitschwingt.

Alle Tasten sind da wo man sie auch bei einer Desktop Tastatur vermuten würde, womit das Ein- bzw. Umgewöhnen sich auf ein Minimum beschränken sollte. Ebenfalls mit an Bord ist ein vollständiger Zahlenblock in Originalgröße.

Touchpad

Das Touchpad befindet sich etwas links versetzt direkt unter der Tastatur. Gleich darunter sind zwei längliche Tasten aus Chrom auszumachen, die die Funktion der beiden Maustasten übernehmen.
Wie schon von duzenden Notebooks bekannt, besitzt das Qosmio F60-10X ein Multi-Gesture Touchpad, womit man durch bestimmte Bewegungen mit den Fingern, bestimmte Befehle ausführen kann. Beispiele dafür wären z.B. das Drehen oder das Raus- und Reinzoomen eines Bildes bzw. das Scrollen in allen vier Richtungen. Diese Funktionen gehen mit etwas Übung ohne Probleme von der Hand. Das Scrollen in Bildern, Internetseiten oder Texten geht allerdings mit dem Mousewheel nach wie vor besser, ebenso das Raus- und Reinzoomen.

Bei der eigentlichen Funktion als Mausersatz gibt es nichts zu kritisieren.Satellite a200 akku Sowohl das berührungsempfindliche Touchpad als auch die beiden Maustasten aus Chrom, erfüllen ihre Aufgaben sehr gut und präzise. Satellite a200 akku
Oberhalb des Touchpads befindet sich ein Knopf zum schnellen Ein- und Ausschalten desselbigen. Alternativ geht dies auch mit der Tastenkombination FN + F9, wobei ein länglicher beleuchteter Balken anzeigt, ob das Touchpad gerade on oder off ist

Keyboard Toshiba Qosmio

New acer laptop won't let me type without the cursor going everywhere and?

jumping all over the page. I was told this is because of my palm hitting the touch pad. I'm very careful and watch constantly and that's not it.
Could it be in the program?
Has anyone else had this problem? I typed this on Toshiba Qosmio and don't have any problems. The type that appears seems to lag behind the keyboard.
I don't want to get a wireless mouse and keyboard.
Mitch, thanks a whole great big bunch.
I set all the mouse controls to default and it is acting just like this Toshiba.
My son got his mom and me our own laptops so she wouldn't get after me for being on y/a all day and playing checkers. ha
thanks stain

does this only happen when you type?
if it DOESE'NT you might want to ask someone experienced, but...
If it DOES i think you should check for clashes/conflicts in: device manager/mouse/resources and device manager/keybord/resources, and if there are any conflicts, you should set both keybord and mouse resources to automatic, and if they are already on auto, you should check they're setting and make some changes.

hope this helps!!!

Toshiba Qosmio X505 Review

Aimed at both media enthusiasts and gamers,Sony VGP-BPS9 the Qosmio X505 is Toshiba's largest and most powerful desktop replacement machine featuring a quad core processor and a mid-range nVidia GPU. Does the X505 live up to expectations? Read our review to find out.

 

Our Toshiba Qosmio X505 review unit has the following specifications:

• Intel Core i7 720QM (1.6GHz, 6MB L2 Cache)
• Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit
• 18.4-inch WUXGA glossy screen (1920x1080)
• 6GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM
• 64GB Toshiba SSD
• 500GB Hitachi HDD
• nVidia GTS 360M, 1GB VRAM
• Internal fixed Blu-Ray optical drive.
• Realtek 802.11n Wi-Fi, Atheros Gigabit Ethernet
• LED Backlit Keyboard
• 12-cell 8000mAh battery
• One-year warranty
• Dimensions: 17.4 x 11.6 x 1.63 inches
• Weight: 10.5 pounds, not including the 2 pound power adapter

Build and Design
Our first impression of the Toshiba Qosmio X505 is that it is big, heavy and is a champion when it comes to build quality. When it comes to design, the X505 has a very sophisticated look. The piano black finish with metallic red highlights could appeal to people who never would have considered a "flashy" notebook. The glossy surface is a fingerprint magnet though.  Even the LEDs on the notebook match with the black and red theme.

Despite the X505's all-plastic design, build quality is superb. The base of the notebook uses high quality plastic that should brush off bumps and bruises easily. The palm rest and other areas of the notebook are satisfyingly firm and gives us the impression that the internal design and structure of the notebook was carefully planned. The LCD housing does a good job of protecting the screen as well. We were not able to produce distortions on the screen with poking or prodding on the back side of the LCD housing, and it also resisted twisting motions well.

A notebook this large has to have a solid screen hinge to support the weight of the LCD, and Toshiba delivers in that respect. The hinge is firm enough to keep the notebook closed and open when needed, but the screen wobbles a little when bumped and the hinge occasionally squeaks. It also takes some effort to open the notebook.

Screen and Speakers
The Toshiba Qosmio X505 comes with a glossy 18.4-inch CCFL backlit screen with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (the 16:9 equivalent of WUXGA). Colors are bright and vibrant, text is crisp and sharp and videos are smooth and clear. With a maximum measured brightness of about 141 nits, it is a little dim compared to LED backlit screens and will be unsuitable for outdoor use, but indoors (like on the desk that this notebook will rarely leave) the screen is stunning.

The X505 has eight distinct levels of screen brightness that can be adjusted by using Fn+F6 and Fn+F7 key combinations. The brightest settings on the notebook won't wash out colors or strain the eyes, and the dimmer settings for the screen are great for darkroom entertainment. During normal use, we would usually have to leave the screen at one of the four highest brightness levels for comfortable use.

Notebook screens tend to have poor vertical viewing angles, and the X505 is no exception. Colors and text fade fast when viewing the notebook screen from above or below.  Horizontal viewing angles are much better and are quite impressive.  Even at the far left or right field, the screen is still easily readable and the visual quality of text, images and videos were consistent throughout.

When we typically see that a notebook with Harman/Kardon speakers,there are high hopes that we are going to have a great listening experience. The two very large front speakers live up to our expectations with excellent audio in the treble range, but the bass range is non-existent. Music fades when there is low volume in the treble range. For a notebook this large, the lack of perceptible bass is a big disappointment.

Keyboard and Touchpad
The X505 has a comfortable keyboard that easily outperforms many other notebooks. The LED backlit keyboard uses a fairly standard layout and design that has a great amount of feedback but is just a hair too springy. The spacing and feel of the keyboard is just about right and we think many people will like it.

At first, the glossy finish on the keyboard was a drawback; the keys seemed to grab our fingers a little bit. After a day or two, with a sufficient amount of oil building up on the keys, that problem was resolved. The only unresolved problem that is that we cannot find a way to turn the LED backlight off on the keyboard...

The large amount of palm rest real estate on an 18.4-inch notebook means that the X505 has a full size keyboard, a number pad and a few inches to spare. Toshiba uses that space by including eight capacitive touch special function buttons to control media playback, volume and power settings on the notebook. It's a nice feature but there are two big problems with these buttons: they are easy to accidentally trigger and they always beep at you when you hit them. Even the mute button beeps at you when you hit it.

Like the keyboard, the touchpad requires a little bit of oil to build up for optimal use. At first we found ourselves running off of the flush touchpad, but we adapted quickly. The tactile feedback provided by the touchpad was excellent and its responsiveness was equally satisfying after we updated the touchpad drivers. The touchpad also has an on/off button (and a giant red LED indicating if that the pad is on or off) that you can deactivate if needed. The two large touchpad buttons are red and hard to miss, but they are also difficult to work with since they require a lot of force to get them to register a click.

The Synaptics touchpad on the X505 also has a few other productivity features like circular scrolling, multi-touch zoom and multi-touch rotation motions, and even two-finger scrolling, which required us to space our fingers uncomfortably far apart for the touchpad to acknowledge the gesture. The rest of the features worked well.

Ports and Features

Let us be real – this is an 18.4-inch desktop replacement machine. Toshiba has the room to put any type of port on this computer that they want, and they did a good job of including the essentials. With three USB ports, one combo eSATA/USB port, audio ports, a Firewire 400 port, SD card slot, Ethernet port, VGA out and HDMI outputs, the notebook has almost everything a user needs. The X505 also has an ExpressCard/54 slot above the optical drive so you can expand upon the notebook as you see fit.  There is even space for a DisplayPort connector on the notebook, but we are unsure why Toshiba chose to omit that feature. Our only complaint is that we wish there were more USB ports. The VGA port might baffle you a little, but Toshiba smartly figured that a lot of HDTVs have VGA ports dedicated for computer connections (and not all HDTVs have enough HDMI inputs). Let's have a quick look around the notebook.
