At first look, it seems rather similar to the Qosmio X775, released June of last year. However, it doesn’t seem as flashy. Sure, it still doesn’t look to appealing to parade around with, but at least the X875 doesn’t have a design that wont make users’ eyes ache with the red color that’s dangerously close to becoming neon, unlike the rest of the Qosmio line-up. This aluminum design is being called Black Widow, and it’s fitting with the laptop being mostly black.

Aside from the more demure looks, the X875 will also be carrying Ivy Bridge, a new Intel processor that will be out sometime in August. However, exact specs on this chip is still unknown, and understandably so, considering Intel hasn’t released any details on Ivy Bridge aside from having an built-in GPU, PCI Express support and other less important features. For those that aren’t interested in Ivy Bridge, there are options for the third-gen Intel Core chips with NVIDIA GTX 670M graphics.

What else Toshiba can say about the laptop though involves its display- 17.3 inches of HD+ TruBrute technology and 1600 x 900 resolution, with the option for a higher-end 1080p display with 3D capabilities and its own NVIDIA 3D and Lightboost kit. Additionally, it will have Harman Kardon quad speakers with Slipstream tech and SRS Premium Sound 3D to complement the graphics capacity.

The Qosmio X875 will start at $1,299 as its base model once it comes out on June 24, but additional features and configurations will obviously bring its price higher. Toshiba places the price cap at $2,499, which is obviously for the most customized model.

The Qosmio series has always been Toshiba’s most powerful line of laptops thanks to each unit’s capacity to play high-end multimedia and run graphic-intensive games, sometimes beating desktops performance-wise, and the X870 is expected to keep that up. At first, it looks a little bulky and strange, with bright red streaks across its black finish, but it’s what’s inside that counts.

Reports have been pretty vague on the processor and GPU side, but they all agree that the X870 will have next-gen chips from both Intel and NVIDIA, which could make for an interesting combination. It has a 17.3-inch HD screen with 1920 x 1080px of resolution, possibly to complement the high-end internals. Meanwhile, the display has a quick 5ms of response time, and both screen and keyboard also have LED backlights, with the keyboard’s being the same red color of the laptop itself.

The laptop is also said to carry a total of four USB 3.0 ports, two of which are enabled for Toshiba’s Sleep-and-Charge tech, which allows users to charge mobile gadgets even when the laptop isn’t in use. Along the same vein, the internal Harman Kardon Slip Stream speakers can also still be used even while in Sleep mode.

The price tag and release date for the Qosmio X870 are still unknown, but some list it as coming during the second quarter of the year, which would be in time for some of the most anticipated PC games.

Unveiled at the recent Toshiba 2012 Partner Summit, the P855 is a 15.6-inch laptop designed for 3D gaming as well as for Blu-Ray use. Design wise, it comes in an aluminum brushed metal chassis. Since its glasses free, it has the lenticular technology (there’s lenticular film on top of the screen) on. It is also equipped with the eye tracking technology found on the F750. In terms of its processor, graphics card, memory and storage, Toshiba has kept its mouth silent on these as the company likes to make people curious what it would offer.

Apart from those mentioned, the Satellite P855 comes with four (4) USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI out. It also has Intel WiDi responsible for Wi-Fi beaming of a 1080 pixel video to a larger screen. For audio, Toshiba decided to equip it with the Harmon Kardon speakers.

Availability is said to be by second quarter of the year. Price was also not disclosed by Toshiba but we could expect the price to be starting from $940 or £599 since this is the base for the Satellite portfolio.

This 13-inch, 1280×800 display tablet/laptop hybrid is a bit of a hassle for some of the consumers, though the specs and features are great. For one, the screen is flipped backward and completely covers the keyboard so it can be in tablet form. It is rather heavy though as it weighs at 4.2 pounds and is 1.1-inch thick but if this is not a problem for you, then maybe this hybrid device is perfect for you.

For now, there is no touchpad but it has a stylus that can be found at the back of the laptop that works well on the screen. There is also a pointing stick on the right edge of the hybrid device that two mouse buttons. The Toshiba Portege M930 is run by a Core i5 processor and Intel HD 3000 graphics. It has a RAM of 4GB and a solid-state drive of 256GB.

For now, there is no word yet on the price and availability of this hybrid device despite being display on the CES 2012. There is also a rumor that the release may not come at all…but we just have to wait and see about it. For now, if you’re interested on this, better watch out for news and updates.

The MK01GRRB and MK01GRRR are 3rd generation of its class boasting 15,000 RPM speed at 2.5-inch size. These are high performance drives with maximum storage capacity of up to 300 GB – which Toshiba claims is the highest in its category. In addition, it utilizes 6GB/s SAS interface to support intense computing applications needed by customers.

The 2 models share similar specs, except that the MK01GRRR units have built-in encryption which can be used extensively to protect super confidential documents and files. The encryption technology can be used for data security without affecting the drive’s performance or to “crypto-graphically” erase data securely, without undergoing complex overwrite operations.

Both drives feature what the company called “enhanced power condition state” that lowers the drive spin during idle states. In effect, this makes the hard drives consume less power and lower heat dissipation. The 2.5 inch enterprise drives proves to be more efficient compare to 3.5 inch HDD in terms of data density and inherent power. Both Toshiba enterprise HDD models will be available Q1 of 2012 in 147 GB and 300 GB variants for still an undisclosed price.

FYI, earlier this year, Seagate had released similar enterprise-grade 2.5-inch drives with 15K RPM spin speed called Savvio 15K Hard Drives. It comes in 2 variants that provide data encryption technology, 6-GB/s SAS interface and storage capacity ranging from 73.4 GB to 300 GB.

So now, you have 2 options to choose from. Take your pick!

It has a multitouch panel in 23-inch 1080p resolution. Under the hood is either a Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, 1Tb 7200 RPM hard drive and DDR RAM at 4Gb capacity. The Windows 7 PC has a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for its peripheral and a DVD drive, one USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports and HDMI jack for its externals. It blends perfectly well with TV entertainment featuring high-end audio, computing capabilities and video performance. It’s an All-in-One-PC with 23-inch multi-touch display and Full HD, a complete and ideal entertainment hub for every home.

The PC sits in a pedestal stand made of aluminum which can be manipulated to give proper viewing angles. The keyboard, which has 10-key numeric keypad, can be moved below the stand to maximize space. The HDMI port provides connectivity to gaming consoles, and the Onkyo stereo speakers feature unparalleled sound performance. It is also fitted with DVD SuperMulti Drive which, if used with Toshiba Technologies, allows the use of speakers in PC shutdown mode. It can also be configured with a TV tuner.

Best Buy stores initially offer Toshiba DX735 at a price of $956.99 starting October 2, 2011.

The smaller Thrive carries the same textured, rubberized signature back like its 10-inch sibling. Obviously, it’s more compact, weighing just 0.88 lbs and measures 1/2-inch thick. It is endowed with high resolution (1280 x 800) multi-touch panel, Android 3.2 OS, dual core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 5 megapixel rear camera with LED flash, 2 megapixel front-facing camera, WiFi, Bluetooth and comes in either 16GB or 32 GB storage capacity.

But unlike its big brother, the 7-inch Thrive sports a set of mini ports including a mini USB port, micro HDMI and a micro SD card slot. Meanwhile, users would be able to enjoy its other features like Toshiba’s Adaptive Display and Resolution+ 3 video enhancement technologies, stereo speakers and built-in GPS. Checking your emails, watching online videos and updating your social networking page is supported thanks to its built-in Adobe Flash Support. Pre-loaded Android apps are included and more can be downloaded via the Android Market.
