For $2,099 the Toshiba Qosmio F60/033 is a decently specced entertainment notebook that costs more than newer entertainment notebooks that have much better overall specs.

Apart from the 15.6in (1366x768 resolution) screen, you have a Blu-ray burner and a TV tuner that lets you watch or record TV directly on your notebook. Watching Blu-ray movies is one thing, but being able to rip them to your hard drive is a great feature. The computing power needed to watch and burn Blu-ray movies is aptly provided by the Intel Core i7-740QM (1.73GHz) processor. If you want to play games there’s an NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics card that can run modern games like StarCraft 2 on medium settings.

A 750GB hard drive is very large, and you’ll definitely be thankful for it when you start burning your Blu-ray movies. The graphics card is paired with 4GB of RAM, so overall you’ve got a very versatile notebook. It’s a bit above average for weight at 2.8kg, and it’s mildly bigger than normal with a width of 387.6mm, depth of 266.8mm, and thickness of 34.8mm.
