Jump to unread Post a CommentIn conclusion, this is not bad, you could do a lot worse, but most of it is last years components bundled into a pretty poor case with VERY limited extra's (i.e. bluray, 900p/1080p screen), it's a good deal, and a decent price, just be aware of the shortcomings

Thought I would reply, I know quite a bit but I am no expert, it depends really on your needs, if you wish to play top end games like Battlefield this laptop would struggle but more basic games it will handle, I have the exact same card in the laptop I am typing on and have played NFS world on it, Battlefield 3 can be played but on low settings and a bit of tweaking as you can see on youtube videos, toshiba as a brand lasts forever I personally found that they are really high quality but then again I dont throw my laptop about, so yh what do you need it for?
Edit: Thought I would correct myself, I have the GT525M, this is the GT540M and as can be seen on youtube is fine for high or medium settings, and can manage ultra settings too

1, GT540m is middle class
2, HD resolution means that the GPU can deliver higher FPS than if it was HD+ or fullHD screen (not defending 768p resolution though)
oh and btw, your comment is pointless.
I guess for external screens? not sure if that works, thats a seriously good point
oops sorry thought it was buy it now, though if you can get it at that price still good.

You can use an external screen and increase the resolution.The GT540M is ok for gaming, it's not high end even for a laptop. Personally a GT 555M would be the minimum I would look for, for gaming on a laptop, but that's me.
The following site will give you a rough idea of its capabilities, you can also look at youtube videos of similar spec machines running games, but again that's a rough idea.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-540M.41715.0.html
Laptop gaming is severly restricted in comparison to desktop gaming, meaning you need to pay a lot more for a laptop with a decent GPU in comparison to a desktop with a decent GPU.
I guess more sites such as GaiKai and Onlive (Onlive been in the tech news recently due to being took over and financial woes) will become popular as you can play games on just about anything that has a screen and a fast net connection (controller restrictions apply e.g. controller, mouse , k/b). I can only see these sites being useful for single player currently, you're gonna get wasted in a multi player environment due to latency.

Toshiba as a brand doesn't last forever. Have you ever used a Toshiba C660 for example? Very cheap build. I can give you plenty of examples of Toshiba laptops where the left mouse button and DC Jack fail regularly. I speak as a laptop refurbisher. It's irritating when people speak about brands as a generalisation. Who here has owned an older Toshiba Qosmio with Nvidia GPU? Some in that series are a nightmare for going wrong.
