5.0 out of 5 starsGood For Gaming After BIOS Update

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

I purchased this laptop a little over a month ago and I am really happy with some aspects and disappointed with others.The 3D works great.The movies look good and so do the games played in 3D.It has some upconvert abilities when it comes to the 3D.It will upconvert DVDs only and not blurays or so far as I can tell.I could never get standard blurays to play in 3D but I'm sure you can find software that will do it.The PC runs great for normal activities but when it comes to gaming it does not run so great.The PC runs hotter than most as it is, although nothing too bad under normal use, however, when you try to play a game you get stutter for maybe 30 seconds where the frame rate drops significantly.This happens about every minute or two so it is annoying.The graphics are great but this stutter is a major issue that has not been addressed by Toshiba yet.For me even when I lower the graphics the stutter still occurs so it doesn't seem to matter.If you look this issue up on the Toshiba forum you will find several people having the same problem without an apparent solution.If Toshiba puts out an update to fix this problem I would give it 5 stars and recommend it but as it stands I would only recommend this computer if you don't plan on gaming.Weird that this laptop is advertised for gaming but yet has such a problem with doing the very thing it was marketed to do.**UPDATE**I forgot to revise my review but after the BIOS update the games play fine now without any stutter.I give the laptop 5 stars now.

1.0 out of 5 starsNothing but problems! And shame on Toshiba!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

I bought a Qosmio X775-3Dv80 after Xmas from Amazon in 2011. Screen went bad the first week. Amazon sent me a new one. 3D and display card went south 2 weeks later on the second one. Amazon sent me another replacement.

Kudos for Amazon!!!

Wifi went out 3 weeks later on the 3rd one. Called Toshiba instead of Amazon. Toshiba repaired it (reinserted the wifi card).
5 months later, wifi crapped out again. Sent back to Toshiba. Toshiba repaired and sent it back.
However, upon reception back from the repair, I found a 2-inch long crack on one corner & a chip on the top cover, prying marks inside (trying to get the keyboard out?), and keyboard not seated all the way in. The shipping package undamaged
I contacted Toshiba again and was promised a "complementary" one (I didn't ask for it)
Days later when I called them about it, Tosh rep said NO such RECORD, but told me to send it back for repair.
I did so and got an email from Toshiba saying warranty doesn't cover cracks, and wanting $175.99 to fix it. What???? They broke it.
Called them again and got transferred to a case manager. I spent 30min with him explaining that Toshiba wanted to charge me for damage cause by the repairman, etc. He just kept repeating "Toshiba's warranty policy does not cover physical damages.", and " is there anything else I can help you with?" no matter what I tried to explain.
The previous rep told me to send it back in for repair instead of sending me a different unit???

I was so discussed that I told him "just send it back". It took them 5 weeks to send the damaged laptop back to me.

1.0 out of 5 starsUnusable anymore for gaming

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

1) The graphics card and/or poor fan performance causes lag with newer video games which leads to overheating and auto shut off (!) within 10 minutes of playing. Some say this is the Power Membrane defect (whatever that vague prognosis means) but it seems to at least partially be an auto switch off when it gets too hot. After 5-10 minutes I can turn it back on. As it gets older it has been doing this more - I now put a desk fan facing it if it's a particularly hot day and it seems to help, but that's highly impractical year round.

1200 dollars and within 2 years I'm unable to play any video games for more than 10 minutes without this issue arising, not sure I'll buy any more Toshibas.

2) The wifi card seems to be affected by the heat and/or auto switch off. I've had to reset it after the above auto shut-down several times (just take the battery out, hold power button for 30 seconds, put battery back in and turn on). Now I'm getting regular wifi connection issues though, which can be a financial liability with my at home business!

This is by far the greatest laptop I have ever owned or have even known anyone to own. There's simply nothing it can't handle with lightening speed and my iPad's retina display isn't even this crystal clear. With the 3D glasses, I have been able to play Diablo 3 IN ACTUAL 3D!! Movies . . . IN 3D!! iTunes menus, certain websites, online gaming, games from disc . . . . IN 3D!! And with the convenient on/off 3D button above the keyboard, I can easily turn the 3D off if I want to play or watch something in it's normal format.

With two hard drives installed, I also have had more than enough space to store Diablo 3, Star Wars: The Old Republic, World of Warcraft, various other flash games, 11,834 songs, 213 movies, Pro Tools 10, and hundreds of pictures and home videos and still have just over 1TB of free space left.

***CAUTION*** When playing labor intensive games, this baby will get very toasty. So DO NOT buy this without a cooling pad. I use the Cooler Master CM Storm SF-19 Strike Force and it keeps my rig at a constant safe level.

I'm loving this laptop. I got this primarilly for 3-d gaming and movies. If you put most games in the extreme mode, turn off things like antialiasing, ambient occlusion, 1080p 3d can render around 30fps. 2d game @ 1080p can render 60+ fps with same settings. Screen is beautiful, 1080p @ 120hz, this machine can give many desktops a run for their money(I got this on sale for $1299). My only complaint is share by many others, the battery is useless.

1.0 out of 5 starsTerrible, Defective Product -- Beware!

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

This laptop has been the worst laptop purchase I have ever made. I have owned approximately 20 laptops in the past. I have lost all faith in Toshiba and will never, ever buy another one of their products.

1) The screen hinge cracked within several weeks of light use. This created a 1/4" gap in the frame and exposed the motherboard and other circuitry to additional damage. The crack is worsening with time and makes it difficult to carry the device, because the screen flops wildly due to the broken hinge.

2) The touchpad no longer works. I can only use the laptop with an external mouse.

3) The laptop freezes and locks up frequently. Sometimes this issue occurs after only a few minutes of use. Factory resetting did not solve this problem. The laptop is almost impossible to use at least half of the time.

4) I've also experienced issues with the wireless card. Connection is dropped frequently, sometimes every several minutes. For example, I had to reconnect to my router four times just to write this short review. My other laptop (also running Windows 8) did not experience any of these problems during the same time.

Please do not buy this product -- other purchasers are suffering from similar problems. The Toshiba support leaves something to be desired and willnot resolve these problems without much grief. Do support a company who designs and produces an item of this low quality.

===========
Update -- Customer Service nightmare. Toshiba has the poorest customer service and warranty support I have seen in the industry. It's a scam -- you can never speak to a supervisor. Someone will promise to call you back and they either will 1) fail to call you back or 2) call you back at a much different time than you expected, with no callback number or way to return the message. It almost appears that the goal is to shut down customer grievances and needs.

I spent literally HOURS of time contacting warranty support. They charged me to ship my faulty computer out for repair. When it arrived back about two weeks later, the problem had not been fixed. I might as well have had the computer repaired locally. I called and left messages with several "supervisors," who promised to call me back and never did. This revolving door consumed about two hours of my time. Finally I reached someone who was willing to speak to me, but she called me later than our scheduled time and I missed the call. I will never, ever buy another Toshiba product and I encourage to find a better company for your purchases too.

I was initially please with the computer, actually the software works as expected, it's quite nice. BUT! the hardware is the wrost, I mean it, do not buy this pc it will breake. I bought two of this. One of the hinges broke and now I can't close my computer and the touchscreen doesn't work, the other computer I got literally got a piece separated from the main keyboard pad. I know I'm not the first one with this problem over this computer, only by reading the comments you can see that at several other costumers have a problem with the hinges. I'm so sad, and the Toshiba service department is impossible to reach. For real, think it twice before buying this.

The computer is pretty nice and works fine but in all my years using a laptop, this is the first time I have to upgrade the BIOS that soon after I purchase it (less than 2 months)... might have be a coincidence but this was for my wife who is not that familiar with computers and little by little she was seeing some complications, like getting disconnected from the WI-FI or the computer would have simply get stuck... I did the simple BIOS upgrade and everything was back to normal but my wife wanted to send it back... changed her mind after I explained all to her :)

This laptop is decent, but I definitely recommend others to make upgrades and adjustments to the laptop to better accommodate your needs.

NOTE! The laptop is not all white as displayed in the listing gallery, but instead the bezel around the screen is black. Don't be deceived by the high gloss white either.

Pros:
1. Flexibility when it comes to upgrades (ex: Hard Drive, RAM)
2. Taking it apart is extremely easy and it only has 11 screws after that just pop off the back
3. At the price of $649.00 I purchased it a month ago I consider it a steal
4. The Intel Core i5-4210U Processor (1.7 stock speed) to (2.7 GHz overclock) is decent for basic internet browsing and downloading, but by no means meant for gaming. i5 processors are slightly outdated as i7 processors are running up to 3.5 and above stock so... For students and business it is considered sufficient.

Cons:
1. The touch pad is way to sensitive and unbearable, so I recommend buying a wireless mouse especially if your working with Excel Spreadsheets, because you'll be frustrated by the reckless touch pad.

2. The touchscreen capability is still very raw and way behind Apple's caliber when it comes to touchscreen capability and function. Lackluster and frustrating is all I can say.

3. Sticker with false system information on the right of the touch pad (8 GB of Memory?! 1 TB Hard Drive?!). Toshiba definitely needs to fix this sticker, because it doesn't match the correct system or advertised stats. It only has 6 GB of memory and a 750 GB hard drive probably at a speed of 5400 RPM. UPGRADE it!

4. The battery life falls behind and is still not on par with Apple's Macbook Pro or Macbook Air when it comes to battery life and long hourly usage. I still don't understand why these competitors aren't downsizing the weight and length of AC Adapters to match the portability of AC Adapters Apple laptops require. I feel like I'm carrying around nun chucks when I carry Toshiba's AC Adapters around school or work.

5. Mobile Intel HD graphics seriously? Toshiba needs to at least put a Nvidia 650 ti or 660 ti, because I feel like customers are being short changed when it comes to graphic cards now a days. I'm not expecting a high end graphics card, but at least a half decent outdated one.

Takes a little getting used to the touch screen, but now I expect all my laptops to perform the same! Great!
