Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Toshiba Laptop Battery
Toshiba's Qosmio X875-Q7280 offers a decent overall 17-inch gaming laptop but it has one major issue and that is the display. Most gaming laptops in this price range offer a full 1080p capable display but Toshiba opted for a lower resolution one. They make up for this by including more memory and storage space than much of the competition but it misses the fact that the graphics and display are the two most critical components for a gaming system. Performance is good thanks to the Ivy Bridge quad core processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M graphics but at its price point, there are just better overall options for those looking to use it for gaming.
Pros
•Strong General and 3D Performance
•Greater Memory And Storage Space
Cons
•Lower Resolution Display That Can't Support 1080p Video
•Small Battery For Relatively Short Running Times

For a gaming laptop such as Toshiba PA2442UR Battery , Toshiba PA2441UR Battery , Toshiba Portege 300CT Battery , Toshiba PA2452UR Battery , Toshiba PA2497UR Battery , Toshiba PA2498UR Battery , Toshiba PA2452U Battery , Toshiba LBCTS11 Battery , Toshiba Libretto 20 Battery , Toshiba Libretto 50 Battery , Toshiba Libretto 60 Battery , Toshiba Libretto 70 Battery , the Toshiba Qosmio X875 is relatively light at seven and a half pounds. Much of this weight savings comes from the small 47WHr capacity battery pack used in the system. This is relatively small and more common with a typical 15 or 17-inch consumer laptop than a power hungry gaming laptop. In video playback testing, the system ran for just under two and a half hours before going into standby mode. Toshiba claims it could run up to 3.9 hours but this would be with very little use on the most conservative power settings. Obviously, a gaming laptop isn't going to be used like this much. It does beat out a couple of other gaming systems such as the ASUS G75VW and Samsung Series 7 Gamer but only by fifteen minutes. It falls well short of what the HP Pavilion dv7 can achieve with its battery that is twice the capacity of this one although it is a general purpose laptop.
With a price or roughly $1450, the Qosmio is priced within a number of other 17-inch gaming laptops including the ASUS G75VW, the base Alienware M17x and a number of MSI GT70 based laptops including the Cyberpower and iBUYPOWER. In each of these systems, they all offer a higher resolution display and generally better battery life. Both Alienware and ASUS are heavier while the MSI based systems offer a similar overall weight. Of course, each has less overall storage space and only the ASUS offers the same amount of RAM.
