Toshiba Launches Laptop With Three GPUs

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the battery-killers dept.

arcticstoat writes to mention that Toshiba's latest line of high-powered laptops has three GPUs included. Both the Qosmio X305-Q706 and Q708 come with an integrated GeForce 9400M for day-to-day processing tasks but have a pair of GeForce 9800Ms in SLI that kick in when you need the extra horsepower. "The [Qosmio] X305-Q706 costs $1,999 US (£1,257) in the US, although we haven't seen any UK pricing on the laptops yet. The system comes with a 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 and 4GB of RAM, while the costlier X305-Q708 comes with a quad-core 2.53GHz Core 2 Extreme QX9300 CPU."

      Actually no. But you can get that at the Autozone when you go to pick up the car battery you'll need.

      A three GPU notebook is actually Toshiba's way of making triple damn sure that nerds don't reproduce.

    Yes it can run Crysis, but you shouldn't put anything flammable near it while you play.

      The funny thing about that Onion piece, is the a couple years later Gillette really went and made a five-blade razor.

      Even funnier, they then went on to one-upped themselves and released one with SIX.

    Battery life is an amazing 2.4 seconds, but you can buy an extended battery and extend the life to 1 minute 15 seconds. Or, almost long enough for it to boot up.
