Toshiba Qosmio F55 features integrated GPS
Toshiba recently announced Qosmio F55 laptop series, usually referred to as “gaming laptop” thanks to its Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and NVIDIA GPUs. What makes Qosmio F55s a little more interesting than the rest of the laptops is that they come with built-in GPS receiver Garmin mapping software. This makes Toshiba one of the first main stream computer manufacturers to embed a GPS receiver inside a laptop. This feature was mostly offered by government military contractors which made products such as the Getac B300, GoBook MR-1, SwitchBack, XR-1, and Catcher.
Another nice feature of the Qosmio series include the face recognition software that uses the built-in webcam to allow or deny access to users.
