It's a matter of which features matter to you most
By Petit Prince
The first thing I noticed after setting up this laptop is its weight.
At a whopping 7.5 pounds, you really notice its weight when it's
sitting on your lap. I wasn't sure I was ever going to get used to it,
but it seems better now. I should say that I had recently returned an
HP DV7-6199 laptop because of a hardware issue, so I'm in a position of
comparing the two, since their prices are comparable. The DV7 that I
ordered had an i7 quad core. This has an i5 dual core. On Novabench's
benchmark test, the CPU on the Toshiba still scored in the low
"high-end" range. So it's plenty fast for most applications. I don't
do any gaming, so I can't comment on how it performs on those tasks.
Both video cards scored the same. This machine only has 6Gb of RAM
while the HP had 8 Gb. I think the main differences are going to come
down to features.
The Toshiba has a back-lit keyboard. This is nice at night when you are typing in a dark room. The HP keyboard is hard to see unless the room is brightly lit. The Toshiba also has amazing sound for a laptop. I thought it was even better than what I was getting through my headphones. I also like the fact that you can easily turn off the touchpad on the Toshiba. I was having the "cursor jumping around" problem on the HP, which might be related to the touchpad. The function button features can be changed via an on-screen display and your mouse/touchpad. That's a real nice feature. But there are also shortcut keys for sound +/-, wireless, etc. too. I'd also have to give a slight nod to the Toshiba on graphics. Crisp and clear and bright. The only thing that I wish was that it would have a greater range for dimming. It doesn't get as dim as I'd like, especially at night. This only has a standard DVD drive while the HP has a blu-ray player. It's not a feature I would use, so it's not a big deal to me.
The Toshiba's power supply is quite large, but the cord is pretty long. However, the power connector could come loose over time. It's OK now, but I worry about the future. It's a big multiple-prong connector that doesn't have great depth. (Take a hint from MacBook, people)
I think as far as performance, the HP scores higher, but I think the Toshiba scores higher on features.
Pros:
Great graphics
Great sound
Features: back-lit keyboard/on-screen controls/quiet keyboard
Cons:
Weight
Industrial sized power supply
Power connector may come loose over time
No blu-ray player
Could be more streamlined
Short battery life
EDIT: OK, so it's day three now. Now that I'm getting used to the Toshiba's features, I'm really starting to like it. Higher end models have 3D capabilities, although the Toshiba DVD player that comes with this model apparently has the ability to create a pseudo 3D from 2D DVD's on the fly. I haven't tried it yet, though. I barely notice the weight now. I enjoy watching Netflix from the nice screen size. The other thing I didn't like about the HP was its cold metal body. It wasn't too appealing to rest your hands on it after it had cooled off
