Toshiba has officially unveiled the refreshed X500 gaming machine. Featuring plenty under the hood to get any PC gamer excited, the laptop features a rich black and red casing to attract the eye of any passer-by. But, as with everything that we enjoy, with high-end specifications, come the high-end price tag, and Toshiba has certainly followed that rule with the Qosmio X500.

Specifications wise, the Qosmio X500 doesn’t slouch. Featuring NVIDIA’s high-end GTX 460M discrete graphics, DirectX 11, Optimus technology, and 3D support, the X500 covers all the bases right off the bat. The display is a monstrous 18.4-inches, and you can choose to have up to 8GB of RAM tucked away inside. Toshiba is giving you plenty of options in the SSD range, and you can choose from Intel’s Core i5 or Core i7 processors.

Rounding it out, you’ll get simulated 5.1 surround sound thanks to the Harmon Kardon speakers, and you’ll even get a backlit keyboard. As for that price tag, Toshiba is asking for an MSRP of $1,300. Not as bad as it could be, surely, but it’s enough to make anyone blink twice. You’ll be able to get your hands on it, once you decide to spend the cash, on September 26th.
