The Toshiba Qosmio F50 is an amazing computer that offers different features that many people, gamers in particular are looking for. If you are a gamer and want to get into a notebook for a low price, the F50 model is just the type of computer that you need to be looking at.
The F50 model is one of the few models that is designed with the Vibe design elements. These design elements allow someone to feel as if they are really getting a nice laptop. Very few laptop models are given these special vibe elements. While the F50 can brag lots of specs, it can not brag on its size. It is a little bit heavier, and also is not as thin as many other computers.
One of the coolest things about owning the Toshiba Qosmio F50 is that it has one of the most unique boot up shows. Various white lights will pop up on the screen and allow you to feel as if you are floating through the process. The keyboard that is featured with the F50 is quite nice. However, there are two problems with it. First off, it is difficult to see what you are typing and it is more difficult to keep away fingerprints from it.
Some of the best things about this system are that it is meant to be a gaming and multimedia system. The latest processor, video card and sound cards are included to make sure you have some of the best experience. However, the design of the exterior of the computer does detract from it and make the Toshiba Qosmio F50 a little bit more difficult to use.
One of the biggest problems with Toshiba laptops in general, and the Toshiba Qosmio F50 as well is the time that it takes for it to boot up on the first time. It is pain painstakingly slow! However, after you boot up a few times, change some settings, remove unnecessary programs and do everything else in your power, you typically will be able to get everything to work out pretty well.
The heft weight of the power adapter, and sluggish battery time does not make this a very portable system. You will get around 1:45 minutes unplugged with high usage, and 2:30 with lower usage. Not really a leader in its class, but you can use it as a laptop if you have to.
The price of the Toshiba Qosmio F50 is palatable for people in all price ranges. It is on the higher end for entry laptops, lower end for gaming laptops and in the middle for multimedia systems.
