Which of these 2 laptops would you pick ?

[Rnbin]

Hi, I want to buy a new laptop and campus offers 2 models at a fairly good price (compared to the shop price in my country). The Lenovo is 749 eur, the Toshiba 729 eur. These are the models:


Lenovo Z50-70-01418
15,6", Intel Core i7-4510U, 8GB, 1TB SSHD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 840M, DVD
(processor has got 2 cores and clock speed of 2 GHz and boost 3.1 GHz; and has SSHD and full HD)

Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1C7
15,6", Intel Core i7-4700MQ, 8GB, 1TB, NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M, DVD
(processor has got 4 cores and clock speed of 2.4 GHz and boost 3.4 GHz; has HDD)

(i'm sorry, couldn't find an english version of the site)

Specs look nearly the same, but I'm absolutely no expert when it comes to GPU and CPU so i'm not sure. I don't need a laptop for mining but I want a moderate/good performer on all levels (graphics and speed; gaming and basic programs...). Which laptop looks like the best buy ? Which one looks like the best performer and which of these 2 brands is the most recommended in general ?

Thanks in advance !

Personally, I would always stick with apple. If your a microsoft person, it takes awhile to get a hang of it but in the end, it is much smoother.

I'd go with the Toshiba myself. I used to use a Toshiba laptop a while back and I never had trouble with it. It's got the better processor of the two as well, plus it's a bit cheaper than the Lenovo.

I would go for the Toshiba.

I prefer toshiba laptop..

I have not used either brand but Toshiba one looks good as it has slightly better specs from the Lenovo one plus I think Toshiba brand is more subtle and durable.

toshiba is better..........

[tekke]

The toshiba has a more powerful CPU but the Lenovo has a slightly better GPU + the battery will last longer since the cpu consume half of the toshiba

I used to have Toshiba and it was OK.

I think would also prefer Toshiba, I think it has higher cpu power. I would also prefer more on Japanese made than Chinese made for now.

Wow, wasn't expecting so much responses it was all very helpful ! I think Toshiba is the clear winner, it was my first choice aswell. Was only considering Lenovo because i read on a few sites that this brand scores better than Toshiba, but other sites mention the opposite so... Gonna go for Toshiba.

Thank you all very much !

Go with Toshiba I would as it should have a better batery life and the other things which people have mentioned. Lenovo probably does score better because it a whole I think they are run by a better company.

Depends if you trust the Japanese not to put NSA spy gadgets inside the Toshiba laptop since they are allied with the US.

I prefer 4 cores but I have some Lenovo's and work perfectly.
All the computers that I've used with 4 cores are better than the ones with 2 and for me It's very important...

mmm... IMAO, Toshiba is not as good as Lenovo nowadays but they're both ok.

[ssaillenss]

i will pick up Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1C7

[the_K_man]

I think you made the right choice with the Toshiba

[Fakhoury]

[Sindelar1938]
