Having just posted about Toshiba’s new R500-S5007V with 128GB SSD we couldn’t pass up on offering a brief heads up concerning Toshiba having officially announced their new Qosmio F50, G50 and X300 Quad Core laptops which, Toshiba claim, are capable of not only delivering HD quality movies that rival the quality offered by Blu-ray via standard DVD optical disks (thanks to dedicating one of the four processors to the task of processing the imagery) but which also offer gesture control.
If the prospect of pausing a movies by simply raising your hand in front of the laptop, and resuming the playing with a cursory sweep of the palm appeal to you – and it certainly appeals to us – Tobshiba’s new Quad Core HD Qosmio F50, G50 and X300 laptops are certainly worth keeping tabs on though, at the time of writing, there’s no word from Toshiba concerning either unit availability or pricing.
We’ll be watching developments closely once Toshiba’s men in suits allow these devices into the hands of impartial reviewers (and that’s certainly in mind of Toshiba’s rather bold claims concerning delivering better than Blu-ray quality film from standard DVD via dynamic upscaling).
