Is this a must buy? Or am I missing something?

Take a look at this Toshiba Qosmio X500-149.

If you check all the UK retailers there really is nothing to compare.

Obviously my excitement is based on the specification on paper.

Is there a reason that this make or model could have problems and not be as good as it might seem on paper?

I want a laptop for basic business and web browsing but I love to play the occasional game and be able to admire high quality graphics. I am prepared to pay a premium for my occasional game but I like to get good value as well.

The 460m GPU looks like really good value here.

If you compare it to alienware.co.uk by selecting similar components its almost half price. And the Toshiba 3 year guarantee is £50!!!!!

Here is the full spec of the x500-149.

Is this a must buy or am I missing something?

It's certainly powerful enough for gaming at mid-high graphics settings. There are more powerful systems, but not too many - especially if the one you're looking at comes with the SSD as listed. Whether it's a good value or not depends on the price and what you're willing to pay. It's also really big, so I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to be lugging it around a lot or using it in confined spaces such as on an airplane.
