This is all the info that I find the most important. Otherwise everything else is unimportant.

Me, too.

The specs are just more compelling.
Maybe you want to share the price of both systems in the store you'll buy from?

Toshiba its smaller , weighs less  and like everything is better.

4th in a row... Toshiba! Very very good quality from them.

Blah. I hate toshiba.

I hate HP for the most part too.....



Go buy a dell and be happy.

toshiba
everything better but cpu. unless you play alot of gamez, no need for the 2.8

- CPU speed is lower (although the more memory can compensate this; depends on how you set up both PC's)
- Graphics are worse (it contains version "1.0", while the other is "2.0"; although for all you know the Toshiba could also be 'SE', to know this exactly you need the actual detailed specs and not the advertised stuff.)

Another thing I would like to know before buying any of them: What are the HDD speeds? (random seeking time, access time, spinning RPM, cache amount) These are often the most critical factor in overall speed-tables as the HDD is almost always the slowest component.

Also, what type and speed of RAM is that 512MB or that 1GB. One can be seriously slower than the other, etc...

In other words, before I say Toshiba or HP, I would like to see the exact, detailed and complete specs of all the components and not just the advertised stuff or the stuff you find important

(edit: and of course the price )

HP, need to see the price

Ok, heres the information about the Toshiba and HP.
The thing is- I want to play games. Games like:

Guild Wars
Warcraft(not world of warcraft)
Diablo II
Sims 2
and maybe even The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. But I'm not in that big of a hurry to get it.

So I'm not looking for the most über grahpics, just enough to keep me company. Also, my price range is very, very limited.  1,799.99 is basically pushing the limit here. But I'm willing.

Heres the links, finally.

HP       Toshiba

Keep in mind that I'm looking for good performance and good graphics. For my price range atleast.
