Design and processing
The Qosmio F60-10X Toshiba has a lid in the alarm color red bear. He is like the palm rest and the keys provided with a gloss coating as well. Fingerprints are to be seen very clearly, however: The Qosmio F60-10X provides already worn out, therefore, after a short time if you do not remove the stains with a cleaning cloth.

The housing may strike at first sight, it is not stable processes: Even while pushing it creaked audibly. The lid opening was often annoying to hear a squeak

Speed
The Toshiba Qosmio F60-10X Core sits a i3-330M from Intel – and the multimedia notebook delivered in the speed tests also closely monitor the performance, which one processor must wait for this. In the system in 2007 achieved the benchmark Sysmark Qosmio F60-10X, for example, 126 points. Incidentally, as much as the nearly two-year-old Qosmio x300-11L managed with a Core 2 Duo P8600.

The 3D performance of the graphics card Nvidia Geforce GT330M enough for most DX9 games, but not for games that use DX10 effects when maximum resolution of notebook displays and high picture quality will play in the. DX11 supports NVidia graphics anyway. The integrated graphics processor in the unit has switched off Toshiba, switching between two graphics chips is not possible.

Equipment
The highlight of the Toshiba Qosmio F60-10X is the Blu-Ray burner: He describes single-layer Blu-ray discs with up to six times the speed. Even with CDs and DVDs of the burner worked fast. He also had no problems, even with high speed read scratched media.

When you get Qosmio F60-10X while a Blu-Ray burner: The hard drive is 320 GB but less than usual, with notebooks in this price range. The remaining equipment is neat: For external storage offers the Qosmio F60-10X four USB ports, one of them to let them e-SATA devices connects. Also for the network’s all there: Gigabit-LAN, WLAN and Bluetooth-11n. Toshiba also installed many software tools on the notebook: some of them are really useful for the network connection or perform a system check as to other; one could also do without you. The playback software for Blu-Ray and DVD + supports Resolution: This wills the Toshiba HD-DVD playback quality almost achieves.

Screen
The screen does not quite fit into a high-quality multimedia notebook: First, its resolution is only 1366 x 768 pixels, the screens can therefore only play back video in 720p natively, Full-HD movies he has on his resolution down sampling. He also shone not overly bright – we measured an average of 182 cd/m2. High-quality multimedia notebooks offer a brightness of 250 cd/m2 or more. The contrast was more than mediocre. In the laboratory, the display proved not to be excessively responsive: The subjective visual tests, but there were no problems with movie playback.

Battery life
The Toshiba Qosmio F60-10X is not particularly easy for a 15.6-inch notebook. For standard applications, it was with one charge by about three hours short. In practice this is not enough for a long Blu-ray movie when you film shows the brightness all the way up for the turn.

Keyboard
The Qosmio F60-10X keyboard was installed and stable, low voice. The pressure feedback of the keys was clear. Toshiba is building a number pad in the keyboard. Right over the keyboard to sits seven sensor buttons that can control the media playback for example.

Conclusion
Toshiba Qosmio F60-10X offers good facilities with the large extra Blu-Ray burner. However, it was in the test as a multimedia device is not entirely convincing: For this example, the display was too mediocre. Overall, the notebook left in the test a bad impression. Nevertheless, one must for this price, even apart from the Blu-Ray burner expect something more.

Not to be lack behind, the machine has been enhanced with Harman Kardon stereo speaker system, offering crystal clear audio level ideal to be used in both office and home environment. To make it a perfect multimedia solution, the Japanese PC maker has added Blu-ray player in the forecasts as it needs to have it in future mobile computing and even in existing market requirements.
