In a galaxy full of Millennium Falcons, this notebook is the Death Star — massive, powerful, and capable of putting on one hell of a light show.

The rig's ample entertainment features and low price (for what Toshiba touts as a desktop replacement) makes for a dynamic machine that's difficult resist.
