So basicaly, the Toshiba has a bigger screen and faster processor, but the HP has a dedicated graphics card, faster HD, and more memory. Your guys' thoughts?

Satellite, it has the optical drive and bigger screen, if you are gonna buy the hp you might as well just buy a really good netbook

I've had a bad experience with HP.

Sister's laptop was HP Compaq, and the backlight to the screen went out after 2 months.

My monitor is made by HP, but I really like it.

Anyway, my brother's girlfriend has a Toshiba Satellite, not sure on the model as of now, but it's pretty solid.

Again, since laptops aren't upgradable, besides RAM and the HDD, it depends what you would be using it for.

The bigger screen/faster processor would benefit you more in stuff with videos;

The dedicated card, faster HD, and more memory would benefit you in like rendering shit.

If I were to choose, I'd probably say the HP for what I'd use it with.

Toshiba's suck balls. When I was workin' at an IT department this past summer we would get Toshiba Satellites all the time that were overheating and collecting dust like crazy. My grandpa has one to and its a bitch. HP makes great stuff. Go with the HP.

For you people voting for the Toshiba, care to explain why? I've had a lot of people explain and sway me over xfire for the HP, but none one for the Toshiba.

I just didnt vote the HP because its like a large netbook, if you want a real laptop go with the Toshiba otherwise stop being bookcurious

Faster GPU, Processor, Bigger screen... Only downside is its a lower res.
