Toshib Qosmio F750-12P 15.6 inch Glasses-Free 3D Display Laptop (Intel Core i7-2670QM 2.2/3.1GHz, RAM 6GB, HDD 640GB, Bluetooth, Harman Kardon Speakers, Blu-ray, Windows 7 Home Premium) - Red

First off... this Laptop is not for the General or Business user - General users will find it difficult to justify the spend and business users will hate the battery life.

But for Gamers & Media buffs it ticks all the boxes - after you take a while to figure out how to use all the funky features - particularly the Glasses Free 3D.

I've used the Blu-ray burner to burn video I recorded on my HD camcorder - the results looked fantastic when played back with Blu-ray player on a 48" HD TV - the big plus is the fact that rewritable Blu-ray disks can hold so much memory - This laptop can bun up to 100GB on to certain Blu-ray disks.

Now for the Glasses Free 3D. Which was for me the main reason why I bought this machine. I took me a while to figure out how to use the 3D features - lots of searching on-line etc but once I got it the results were great - with the added benefit of making my friends green with envy.

It can also render ordinary DVD's onto 3D (but not Blu-ray). Watching old War and Western movies in 3D is quite surreal at times but I love it.

As for Games - it can pretty much handle anything but the real fun begins when playing Games in 3D - I've managed to get Civilization V, Halo 1, Medal of Honour (Allied Assault) and GTA Episodes from Liberty City all playing in 3D. The effect varies - so far GTA was the best.

One other point on the 3D - not everyone can see the effect. A brother of mine cant see it and likened the experience to being not able to see those pictures in news papers where if you look at the image a different way the picture changes totally.. not sure if that makes sense. There was one other person who had the same problem but everyone else can see it but initially it takes a little effort to focus on the image properly.

Other points - Loved the addition of a Number Keypad in the Keyboard, but would have liked to have had a backlit keyboard for a machine of this spec. The addition of a HDMI out port is really useful (this wont translate the 3D feature to a TV). The Speakers are quite good and all I need from a laptop but it's not going to let me get the best out of Mozart - Anyway I tend to use a good set of headphones. Oh - and you need to like RED - as far as i know it doesn't come in any other colour

Overall - for me is was a perfect buy, but that won't mean it's perfect for everyone

This is a great laptop with great spec. The only downfall is the hard drive speed but you can always upgrade to a faster one in the future. I personally don't like the shiny plastic design as nowadays they look nice in brushed aluminium but thats just personal taste but so far so good. 3D works great although you may get tired eyes if you watched a longer than average movie but it's still extremely clever how it works. It would be nice in the future if they do an update on the eye tracking software to enable tracking of two viewers rather than just one as standard but again your more likely to watch a film on a laptop alone.

I have had to send it back to the retailer because when I switched it on nothing appears on the screen. The screen was just like blank sheet of paper. I did not know where to start or what to do with it. There was no preloaded software programme installed on it. There was no icon, no software cd. All I got with the laptop was remote, 2 AAA batteries and the charger. The item was collected by the retailer courier service.

I am waiting for my full refund.
