1. Design, keyboard, sound
Design
Toshiba Qosmio X500-size 4.43 x 2.95 x 41.5 mm, weighing 4.58 kg with 12 cell battery included. This model is made of plastic shell of the ball should be quite easy to stick when using fingerprints. However, the design is still sinking, the red rim around the Qosmio logo stand out, make a good impression with computer users first sight.
This model is equipped with almost all the connections, but with fairly wide area, it seems that in the next three USB ports and one USB / eSATA is a bit less for a machine system such as X500.
Right side of the machine is Kensington lock, power jack, VGA, two USB ports, headphone and microphone jacks. The left side is the LAN port, eSATA / USB combo, USB, HDMI, FireWire, Express Card slot, and Blu-ray optical drive. Meanwhile, front side only memory card reader / off switch and wireless connectivity are integrated.
Are replaced by the desktop so this model looks quite bulky and heavy but this is an understandable and "feel" for X500 directed to a different customer segment.
Keyboard and Touchpad.
Owned by screen size and large machines X500 spacious keyboard, plus the numeric keypad on the side for convenient text manipulation. The keyboard is designed for Toshiba characteristics of a good bounce and the distance the keys have a reasonable action should rarely be confused.
This model is equipped with multimedia keys on the left touch keyboard. The buttons are quite sensitive but in the process of always making the keyboard press the wrong key. In addition, tests during games, manipulating the sound off or increase or decrease the volume by the shortcut, the program was automatically ejected and was quite inconvenient.
X500 touchpad support for manipulating multi-point sensitivity and accuracy despite its tiny size. The mouse buttons below the same sensitivity, while pressing for definitive sense.
Sound.
Because laptops line replace desktops should be directed to entertainment X500 speaker system is equipped with "brand name" Harman / Kardon. Quality almost nothing to discuss with excellent sound, clear treble and bass are good to experiment with high-quality music files.
Only one thing is regrettable that the volume is not large as expected although much larger in comparison with other advanced laptops. This system enough to hear in the room over 30 m2.

3. Radiator and battery.
Radiator
Toshiba Qosmio X500 does not have heat vents in the side. Instead, the producers arranged face down all the machines. Therefore, the machine to heat up pretty fast when on a desk. However, because the alternative models to heat the underside of the table should not affect too many people to use. In addition, heat generated also in the acceptable level, except the game a long time need to arrange an additional heat sink base bottom.
Meanwhile, if using only normal to watching movies or listening to music, very difficult to feel the heat of the machine in hand on the keyboard and touchpad.
Battery
Toshiba Qosmio X500 is equipped with 12-cell battery included. When installed on your computer, battery and did not fit into the back or convex-down machine.
With high-capacity battery, but due to the big screen, discrete graphics using the computer rather should "eat" batteries. If you increase the screen brightness to maximum and watch videos continuously, the machine was running only about less than 2 hours. This level is higher than "Supper laptop" and Asus Alienware M17x W90Vp for use only for an hour.
If to the average brightness, keyboard backlight off, turn on Wi-Fi, listening to music and using normal office functions, the model for using time about 3 hours continuously.
However, with a machine to replace a desktop, the battery is still at quite so long battery life was never the focus of manufacturers for this laptop.
