CNET Asia have published a review of the Toshiba Qosmio X500 (Core i7 720QM Processor 1.6GHz, 4GB RAM) notebook. 'With a massive 18-inch 1080p display, it's no surprise our review unit included a Blu-ray drive (a bandwagon Toshiba has been reluctant to hop onboard as it was the driving force behind HD-DVD). Those features (plus a second solid-state hard drive) make for a system that costs US$1,899--not much compared with the tricked-out Alienware laptops of old, but considered very high-end in today's Netbook-obsessed market. HP, Asus, and others also have Core i7 gaming rigs in the works, which may be worth considering if you want a Core i7 and high-end graphics without paying for Blu-ray, the SSD drive, and other pricey features.'
