Leaked pics and specs were already on the Internet, but Toshiba has now confirmed, at a pan-European launch in London, the details of its latest gaming laptop.

The Qosmio X300 is built around the same Quad Core Processor as the Qosmio G50 and X50, which were also unveiled today, which is claimed to deliver HD capabilities (but without a Blu-ray drive).

But the focus really is gaming with this machine, from the red flame cover design, to the 17-inch screen, and tweeter speakers and GeForce Nvidia graphics processor units.

Red LED illumination highlights the multimedia bar, the touch pad and the tweeter speakers, while the bass speakers also feature the flame design.

In addition, each model features a textured glossy palm rest and a fully integrated touch pad, featuring metallic colored mouse buttons to deliver a "refined and tactile experience".

There's no price as yet, but in the meantime, here's some press images and snaps from the launch for you to study.
