    I think its a ok machine however it only has an Intel HD video card which are not good for gaming, for other purposes it should do fine. I'll move this to the Laptops forum where you should get a better response :)

    It's absolutely fine for browsing and word processing.

    What else would you need to be doing with it?

    How about this, better processor and better integrated graphics and a larger hdd

    There's not a huge difference between the 2 processors to be honest and the graphics cards are probably the same so it's only the hard drive thats the difference plus the weight if thats important, and the delivery charge could push the price of the dabs device a bit higher too.

    The processors are quite different, the i3 2330m is about 25% faster.

    Plus the integrated graphics of the i3 2330m (intels hd 3000) is a lot faster than the older integrated graphics than the i3 370m.

    Plus the larger hdd, which all mean the lenovo is a far better laptop for the same price, dabs.ie have free delivery

    I still think you're talking about minute differences between both graphics cards and processors and certainly nothing that the average user would consider paying more for (delivery charge). That's just my opinion of course.

    Heres a site to compare the 2:

    Dabs.ie have free delivery so price is the same

    25% processor speed isn't minute plus the graphical performance increase is huge, more than 100%

    Not sure why you're defending the toshiba laptop (do you work for them :D), the laptop I showed is far better for the same price, just trying to help ANSI get a better laptop

    No actually I only buy dell :P
    But if there's no price difference at all then the Lenovo is better (lets not say far better ;) ).
