Today is February 14, Valentine’s Day, and that can only mean one thing….chocolate! Just kidding but of course it is a significant day of the year for showing that special someone just how much you care. If you share your life with an enthusiastic gamer what could be a better gift idea than a gaming laptop, even if it has a rather special price. The Toshiba nb200 battery Qosmio X770 is a laptop that could fit the exact bill.

Although initially the price of AU$2299 might seem rather steep the Qosmio X770 packs a punch for the money. This is a 3D gaming laptop with a 17.3-inch gloss display and a resolution of 1920×1080 that supports 3D. You’ll need 3D glasses for 3D gaming (included) and you’ll be able to watch modern games at maximum settings without 3D although you won’t be able to play games at the highest settings when using 3D according to this article. The Qosmio X770 comes with a very impressive set of features and specs though, including an Intel 2nd Gen Core i7-2630QM 2GHz processor that will easily cope with the demands of gaming. When required, Turbo Boost 2.0 Technology can power it up to 2.9GHz.

Add in a high-end Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M graphics card that can cope with high to ultra-high settings and you’re well on your way to an impressive laptop for gaming purposes. Other inclusions are 8GB of RAM, a 750GB hard disk drive for plenty of content storage, and also a 500GB hybrid hard disk drive with small SSD. It runs on Windows 7 Home Premium and also features premium harman/kardon speakers, webcam, touchpad with gesture control, VGA and HDMI ports, three USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port, SD slot and much more.

You can see a video below this story for a closer look at the Qosmio X770. When not being used for gaming the Blu-ray burner means you can enjoy viewing 3D Blu-ray movies. Looks-wise it’s all wrapped up in a burgundy colored brushed metal chassis that’s pretty stylish. This laptop is pretty hefty though so may not be the perfect choice for those who want something for on the go, but we reckon most gamers wouldn’t let it stray too far from their desks. It weighs 3.4 kg and dimensions are 413.6mm x 274mm x 28.0/43.9mm (wdh).

You can see the Toshiba product page for the Qosmio X770 here where you’ll see the price listed at AU$2699 with full specifications and overview but this supplier is currently selling it for AU$2299. Ultimately this really is an elite gaming machine and certainly a great choice for avid gamers. We’d like to hear your thoughts on the Toshiba Qosmio X770. Do you think the high-end specs and features make the price reasonable? Maybe you already have the X770 and would recommend it to our readers?
