Right, we had quite enough of all those slender and ‘almost’ powerful laptops from Samsung and HP and Apple, so let’s have a look at something more monolithic awhile, shall we? Toshiba’s Qosmio X500 gaming laptop got a modest update earlier this year in the form of the X505, but it’s now getting a proper successor with the company’s new X770 model. Call it a facelift before a proper new generation, though that facelift is short lived.

Besides slapping on a more metallic enclosure, this one actually shrinks the display from 18.4 inches to a slightly more portable 17.3 inches but still retaining the awesome 1920 x 1080. The standard configuration offered here is a powerful Core i7-2630QM processor, along with gigantic and meaty 8GB of RAM, a whopping 1.25TB of storage from a pair of hard drives, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M graphics. Also available is a separate X770 3D model, which adds a 3D webcam to the equation, along with a pair of active shutter glasses, and some very 3D price tag as well.

Both will be available in the next few weeks, with prices starting at €1,300 (or roughly $1,850).
