Toshiba announced two "enthusiast-class" laptops today, built for gaming and media creation: the Qosmio X770 and Satellite P700 series. Both series offer optional 3D models, NVIDIA discrete graphics, HD displays, and, for these specs, attractive prices starting at $1,200 for the gaming Qosmio and $630 for the Satellite P700 series.

The Qosmio X770 and X770 3D are designed for large-screen gaming and multi-media consumption, with a 17.3-inch 1080p HD display and Blu-ray configuration options.

According to Toshiba's , the Qosmio X770 is one of the first laptops to use the Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M graphics processor with 1.5GB of graphics memory. The 3D model uses NVIDIA 3D Vision technology and can output to a 3D TV. (If you haven't noticed yet, Toshiba is big on 3D. The Qosmio X770 3D doesn't do simultaneous 2D and glasses-free 3D, however, like the ). The 3D version also adds a 1.25 TB hybrid hard drive and rewritable Blu-Ray, but costs $1,899.99 compared to the non-3D model's $1,199.99 price tag.

Both will be available later this month with a choice of second-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, up to 8GB of RAM, and red LED backlighting for the keyboard.
