Qosmio G50-129 - can I have it with Blu - ray?

I was looking for a laptop for a few weeks now and I fell on the Toshiba Qosmio G50-129. I had already seen the X 300 range, which had the quad processor, I prefer, but I did not like the colors of this laptop "boy racer".

I thought that the G50 was a reasonable compromise - the high-end core 2 duo processor 800 GB of disk space and lots of features. Only two issues I have with this machine is the 32-bit version of Vista (why don't they provide 64-bit - I'll never understand this) and the lack of Blu - ray.

Now, I'm not a fanatic of DVD or something else that I appreciate that the Blu - ray is the format that is there to stay. To this end, I have a small collection of DVD Blu - ray that I can play on my PS3 and my DVD Blu - ray player hooked up to my surround sound system.

Can someone please explain to me why Toshiba produced this stunning notebook G50 - 129, but for A £1 499 it does not include a Blu - ray player? Are they crazy? I don't like that they have lost the race format by backing the wrong horse, I expect to get the Blu - ray on A £1. 5K laptop!

Unfortunately, Toshiba you lost my business as a result of this omission. Too bad you didn't just accept that Blu - ray is here to stay and accept him as most of the other manufacturers.

Hello

As you know different notebooks from different manufacturers have different material combination.
Is that Qosmio G50 doesn't support Blu - Ray player, but this machine has other benefits.

It was equipped with the Toshiba Quad Core HD processor, that can turn ordinary DVDs in HD quality.
So you can play DVDs using the internal player and you will get an almost the same quality as a Bluray drive.
In this case you don't need to buy a new BluRay drive, but you can watch the DVD movies in HD quality!

However, I searched here in the forum for similar and found issues these topics:

It might be interesting for you.

Finally, I must say that I would not buy a laptop just because of the Blu - Ray player.
For me it s more interesting a CPU, graphics card, RAM, because these are the parts that are needed for games, multimedia, etc.
Of course, the blue ray player would be a nice extra but I have a PS3 too and it was already fitted blue ray player

If this player is not really necessary for me

Welcome them

  • Qosmio G50 129: can it be used/accessed by other DLNA products?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G50-129. I am looking to purchase a DLNA Certified TV but wanted to know if the laptop is compatible DLNA so that I can access the contents of my Qosmio on the TV or if it was all I needed to do the Qosmio "DLNA compatible?

    The http://www.dlna.org/digital_living/product_types/#pc_frame site advises the following:
    "Personal computers (PC).
    One who has a PC knows that they have powerful network capabilities built-in. Thus, their DLNA Certified potential is determined only by the type of software installed on them.

    DLNA Certified PC are able to act as a Digital Media Server (DMS), Digital Media Player (DMP), Digital Media Controller (DMC) or digital media converter (DMR). Most of the PC available today start with be certified as a DMS, since many of us keep most of our digital content on our PC. »

    There is also a section of research and correspondence on the site that does not have my model Qosmio. This mean that I can not, or is there a solution/work around for this?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    REkha

    As far as I know that any PC with a NIC (Ethernet or Wi - Fi) can become a DLNA device by installing DLNA software. In January 2010 the DLNA started a software certification program.

    As far as I know Toshiba will offer the new application in the future and make it more comfortable to use DLNA. Must be an interface for Windows Media Player.

    For now, you can try to use the standard features of Windows 7 which should be available in Windows media player (supplied with Windows 7) 12.
    To be honest I don't have any other DLNA device and can not test it, but very quickly I want to buy DLNA player Blu - ray with integrated WLAN and want to have access to my PC and watch movies on TV but portable saved on HARD drive.

    So look for some info on the DLNA on Windows media player 12 service and see how it works.

    Please be so kind and inform us of this.

  • Qosmio G50-129 no sound with HDMI connection

    Hello.

    I have a Quosmio G50-129. Recently, I tried plugging it into my Sony Bravia LCD TV via the HDMI connection.
    I have video output but there is no sound on the TV.

    I tried to set the HDMI as audio device as default and the sound level meter in the sound properties panel appears to show activity, but nothing comes out.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    I m not Qosmio G50 owner, I only have the small F50, but it must be identical to yours I think. So first of all, I must say that I never had a problem with the HDMI connection. Everything has worked perfectly since I used the HDMI connection, the first time

    In any case, if you connect your laptop to an external monitor or TV using the HDMI connection, connect the cable first. After this power on the TV and select the HDMI input right channel. Then go on your laptop and if you press FN + F5, you can change between the different options.

    Normally the HDMI output is automatically set as the default audio device, not to follow these workarounds with good screenshots:

  • My Qosmio G50 - 129 guard gal overheating, extreme

    I bought a Toshiba qosmio g50-129 and I got it for about 9-10 months.

    Now, whenever I play a game, it overheats and I get so far behind that he started 3-5 frames per second.

    This occurs every 1-2 minutes and lasts 30 to 45 seconds, it makes a lot of noise and makes my computer lag a lot.

    Is "broken"?
    I always he managed very carefully, never had a virus. I even formatted the C: drive to see if it the problem disappeared, he was gone for about 5 days, I only downloaded world of warcraft.

    What ive tried:

    Update all drivers.
    Close all other applications, all unnecessary processes.
    Graphic abseloutely reduction minimum.

    It has 512 MB graphic card, nvidia 9600 gmt or smthing.
    4 GB of ddr3 1 k mhz RAM memory
    2, 66 GHz processor. Intel core 2 duo t9550

    Hello

    What graphics card drivers did you use?
    You should always use the Toshiba graphics card driver since this driver supports protection against overheating!

    Last week, I read on the 3rd page of party that this original nVidia graphics card driver has been removed nvidia page because it caused overheating of the GPU
    I hope you didn t use the nVidia page graphics driver

    Second question;
    Do you use the latest BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, please update this!

  • 2 issues with Blu - ray authoring on CS5

    so first of all, how to make a menu animated seamless? just to get my feet wet on this first draft, I just want a song plays in the background, it goes through each of the pages of the chapter menu. I have not tested on a real player again, because I'm still tweaking menus, but in the still emulator box magazine, on every page the song starts again. isn't this part of the specification of blu - ray? animated seamless menus? Basically what I did I just put the song as audio from the menu query in the first main menu. and supported (you know what that makes me) who who would set the menu motion seamless... not so much... so is anyway to remedy this situation?

    one last thing. I have not yet create the context menu (probably will get to those this weekend), but I'm just brainstorming this and I was wondering if it can be done by specifying blu - ray (or even more precise by specifying EnCS5). the function has 43 chapters, then I put it in place where the pop-up is about 11340 px wide by 75-100 px of height, and scroll the menu off screen? or is the pop-up menu must be contained in the size of the screen? I was just consider make a pop-up menu that have a link to each chapter and was 43 links in all, and once you say the link 6 or so and press the right arrow, it is simply feed more options on the screen. or if I do just like 7 menu of basic text transparent in PS 1620 x 100, with 6 links per menu and have an arrow clickable at the end of each pop-up at the pop-up link depending on whether you press on enter (examply formulated like this:)
    Main menu Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4--> | < - Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 - > | < - Chapter 9 Chapter 10 chapter 11 Chapter 12 - > | etc., ect. )
    I would prefer that it to be just a long menu continuous, you can fly seamlessly through the (photo 'iPod cover flow' of the iPhone/iPod Touch app iPod), but if not in the specification, OR if its only compatible with BD - J, then is the second scenario (th one listed above) possible with yet?

    BTW: destination project is a BD - R DL because of how much I have pictures, I had to succumb to the DL, so menu size should not be a problem at all with regard to storage problems.

    I guess that's all for now.

I have not tested on a real player again, because I'm still tweaking menus, but in the still emulator box magazine, on every page the song starts again. isn't this part of the specification of blu - ray? animated seamless menus?

    You must have a menu of several page for seamless playback.

    Steps to follow:

    1. import your menu and open it in the Editor menu

    2. menu-> add new Page

    3. Add all the chapter buttons

    4 Cretae a previous button and the link on the page to home page

    (repeat step 2-4, if you want more chapter menus, you must add the following button and should be linked to the next page)

    4. now add your audio files in the menu

    -> You can download a reading without welding. Reminder Simulator does not support support overview of several pages, so you have to check this on any drive of BD only.

  • Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64-Bit Windows 7 updated - update the BIOS?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G50 that I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. My BIOS is unupdated for 6 months when I bought the machine.

    I went to update the BIOS, just to keep things updated, so I went through the pilot Online Assistant:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    And all information entered above, it provides:

    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090312131718.zip

    After having unpacked and P0060v210.exe running, he extracted, and then said:

    "The [error] BIOS update is not taken in charge of operating system. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. "(Word to all my friends of Googling!).

    Toshiba has an update of the BIOS for the Qosmio G50 is supported on Windows 7? Specifically for the 64-bit? They need to fix this glitch which orders to download this file when it is not clearly supported by Windows 7.

    Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it worked fine - but I was nervous about going through the update if it didn't initially support Windows 7, so I do not continue to the next prompt. Is it safe to do? Has anyone else in this situation he does without problems? I read the BIOS updates can go horribly wrong, if not careful, so I hesitate to update the BIOS by performing the update in compatibility mode when it doesn't support Windows 7 on its own!

    Thanks in advance for any help and Merry Christmas.

    Hello

    I agree with bljuzga_1.
    Because the BIOS is independent, it shouldn't be a problem with the update using Win 7 OS.
    The error must be linked to your installed Win 7 OS and not the BIOS bug.

    It would also be possible that your value added package for Win 7 is not installed correctly.
    This package contains the TOSHIBA components common driver which is an essential component of the Windows operating system. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.
