Gaming and Laptops have never sat too comfortable with each other, but check out the specifications on this latest beast from Toshiba, the Qosmio X300

A review will follow shortly from iTWire, but in the meantime here is the rhetoric and specifications straight from Toshiba on the new Qosmio X300.

For AU$3,999  the following lap warming rig can be yours.  These are the essential specifications – for the full list you can head over to the official site .
