Best Overall Laptop

Published by OnlyBestLaptops, on Mar 27 2010, in the categories: General info, Purchasing tips





There are many good producers of laptops on the market and here are some of the best brands: Hewlett Packard, Asus, Dell, Acer, Toshiba, Lenovo, Sony, Fujitsu, MSI and Apple. Each of these companies is offering a wide variety of laptops for the customers and each of the companies has some “premium” notebooks. And by premium we understand a laptop that offers high end performance for demanding tasks, a quality design with an upgraded aspect, a very good graphics engine, around 4 GB of RAM memory (or even more) to allow multitasking and for some of the models a Blu ray disc to allow watching movies in High Definition.




Since there are some premium laptops in the offer of each big company, and each model has its own positive and negative aspects, we can’t tell you for sure which is the best overall laptop of all. But what we can do is present to you two models of premium notebooks from 2 different producers, and see which is the best. We’ll choose 2 models that both have a 13.3 inch display screen. First we’ll talk about the Toshiba Satellite with AMD Turion™ Neo X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor – Nova Black, that has a price of 600 dollars. We’ll skip the descriptions and give directly the complete technical details for each model, and then compare them. So here they are for the Toshiba model:

And we’ll compare this model with the HP – Pavilion Laptop with AMD Athlon™ Neo X2 Dual-Core Processor – Aluminum, which also has a display screen of 13.3 inch and a price slightly bigger – 649 dollars. And now let’s see what this model has to offer:

In terms of dimensions they are pretty much the same, and they are both ultraportable notebooks. Since one of them is black and the other is grey, it is up to you to decide which design you like the most. Both of the models have an AMD processor @ 1.6 Ghz and both have a 6 cell Lithium Ion battery.  Since they have the same size of the screen, they also have the same maximum resolution – 1366 x 768. They both have a RAM memory of 4 GB, but here is a difference : the Toshiba model can be upgraded to 8 GB while the HP model can’t. But the HP Pavilion recuperates the lost point in terms of the hard disk. Both of the laptops have a hard drive of 320 GB, but the HP Pavilion works @ 7200 rpm, compared to the Toshiba model that works at 5400 rpm. So the first hard drive will work a little better and faster. But the Toshiba Satellite takes the advantage again thanks to its video memory of 256 MB, compared to just 128 for the HP. Both of them have an integrated webcam and wireless technology, but the HP also has a Bluetooth technology. This technology, combined with the 4 USB ports that it has (compared to 3 for the Toshiba) allow us to say that it is again a situation of equality. Both of the models have a HDMI port, a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system, and they are both Energy Star qualified.

So the overall situation makes us to say that in terms in technical details they are almost equal. The only difference remains at the price, and the Toshiba Satellite is 50 dollars cheaper. So this allows us to declare it the winner of this confrontation.
