TOSHIBA Qosmio X775-Q7380 Notebook Intel Core i5 2430M(2.40GHz) 17.3" 6GB Memory DDR3 1333 640GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M

Newegg Customer Review: "Pros: Fantastic value for the performance. I was simply looking for a gaming laptop that wasn't too expensive and could play my games at their medium settings. I wasn't expecting a laptop that could play my games at maximum settings at reasonable frame rates. Starcraft 2 plays excellently at extreme settings. Frame rates don't drop below 40 FPS and usually run at 60 FPS. The laptop is easy to setup and starts up very quickly."
