Qosmio X505-Q850 is basically Black in color with a grey crosshatch pattern along with metallic red accents. The entire feature is very attractive including the keyboard. The keyboard contains large flattened keys which makes user feel comfortable except a shortened space bar. It also includes mute button, a button meant for launching the system’s “Eco” mode, volume button which is touch sensitive etc.

An odd thing is that it has a very small touch pad which takes very little space of the large wrist rest area. It has an aspect ratio of 16:9 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Big screen looks attractive during HD video play. Price of this Qosmio X505-Q850 is approximately $1899.

Performance

It’s access time is very less due to a 64GB NAND Solid state flash drive. Data Transfer rate is also high because of 320 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive, and a pre-installed Microsoft Windows 7 creates homely network, helpful in sharing photos, videos and music. It also supports excellent 3D gaming network.
