Toshiba has updated its Satellite consumer notebook portfolio and readied Australia for a less impressive version of the Qosmio F750 than the glasses-free 3D version that the UK awaits.

While the freshly announced Qosmio F750 sports all the internal and external bells and whistles of the F750 3D announced over in the UK, the glasses-free 3D screen with eye-tracking software to constantly optimise the viewer experience is a missing feature.
What it has instead is 2D to 3D conversion for pushing 2D content from the laptop onto a 3D TV via HDMI.
The Qosmio F750 3D still has an uncertain future outside of the UK.
The multimedia laptop leads the pack of Toshiba’s refreshed catalogue as a HD gaming notebook that features an Intel Core i7 quad core processor and the latest in Nvidia graphics sitting next to 8GB RAM. There’s also 750GB of hard drive storage and USB 3.0 ports.
The F750 also features a 15.6 inch LED backlit display and harmon kardon speakers to complete the cinematic experience, with a TV tuner in-built to add a little icing to the cake.
This new model comes out in a red finish at $1,699.
The Satellite series of notebooks has also seen refreshes, including updates to the C665, L730, L750 and P750.
The budget $699 C665 runs an Intel Core i3 processor with a host of basic features.
The L730 also bears the sub-thousand dollar price tag, though is still a little dear for a compact 13 incher. This compact all-rounder sits in at $899.
There’s also the step up with the L750, built for entertainment and retailing at $999.
Higher up in the updated range is the P750, which bears a few similar specs to the F750 like 3D output via HDMI to 3D TVs and in-built TV tuner. This high performance notebook runs in at $1,799.
