Setting up the 3D is a simple two-minute task using Nvidia's software. We were watching 3D movies on the Toshiba Qosmio X770-107 in no time, and simultaneously taking abuse from co-workers over the dorky glasses.
Those glasses are a major repellent, and if you wear spectacles to correct your vision, the two definitely don't sit together comfortably. The biggest problem is the extra pressure around the bridge of the nose. We felt a migraine coming on after just a few minutes, and had to switch to contact lenses to continue.
Still, if your eyes aren't knackered like ours, you'll find the experience a lot more entertaining.
The 3D graphics are a good excuse to play classics such as Battlefield 2 all over again, and we were particularly impressed by driving games, where the 3D made it easier to judge corners and distances.
The Toshiba Qosmio X770-107 will also keep your sprogs quiet, thanks to the plethora of 3D cartoons and movies.
We've found that 3D-compatible screens are often rather dim, but this laptop's 17.3-inch display is a refreshing exception. Not only is it comfortably bright, it's also pleasingly vibrant. The full HD 1080p resolution means you can enjoy HD movies and the latest games with crystal-clear visuals.
We're often derogatory about laptop speakers, but the harman/kardon efforts built into the Toshiba Qosmio X770-107 are impressively powerful. The bass is especially strong, and our dubstep samples made the entire chassis vibrate.
Of course, music buffs are going to need a dedicated external pair to hear every note as it was intended, but for the purposes of films and games, you can't go wrong.
If you have a meaty collection of games and movies, you can carry a huge number around on the 1TB hard drive. The Toshiba Qosmio X770-107 might be a bulky machine, but at least you won't have to lug an external hard drive around too.
If you're carrying the laptop around during use, Toshiba's built-in HDD protection shuts the drive down so it doesn't get damaged. You also get a built-in Blu-ray drive, while an HDMI port lets you hook up a widescreen TV at home.
