Toshiba Qosmio G55, Qosmio X305 and Qosmio F55 Announced

Toshiba’s expanded its multimedia powerhouse Qosmio brand with three new notebooks today. The Qosmio G55, Qosmio X305 and Qosmio F55 are specifically designed for gamers and multimedia enthusiasts.

The Qosmio G55 is the largest of the three, sporting a huge 18.4-inch display, and the best suited for gamers. It utilizes a Cell processor, which is best known as the chip that powers the Sony Playstation 3, to power through high-def content. This is the first notebook to use a parallel media co-processor.

While HD camcorders are becoming more and more popular, working with these files is painfully slow, even on notebooks with fast processors. The Cell technology will dramatically decrease the time it takes to import, edit and export high definition video.

The Qosmio has long been the standard of excellence in the multimedia laptop space, in both styling and entertainment capabilities,” said Jeff Barney, vice president and general manager, Digital Products Division, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. In an effort to take this standard to the next level for gamers and multimedia enthusiasts alike, the three new Qosmio models have been tailored specifically towards their personal interests, while staying true to the incredible user-experience that the Qosmio family is known for.”
