Laptop Choice

[InvisibleDuncan]

A quick question for all you hardware gurus: if you had a choice between three laptops that were pretty much identical in terms of graphics, HDD, RAM etc, which of these three would you go for:

1. Toshiba with Intel Core i3 2328M 2.2GHz
2. Lenovo with Intel Pentium B970 2.3GHz (+£25 over Toshiba)
3. Acer with Intel Core i3 3110M 2.4GHz (+£49 over Toshiba)

Incidentally, the Lenovo comes with Windows 7; the other two have Windows 8.

Thanks…

i3 3110M is better than B970 according to this comparing
i3 3110M is better than i3 2328M according to this comparing

So Acer is the best but the choice is yours.

That's an incredibly helpful site - thanks!

According to this, it would seem that the i3 3110M is better than the i3 2328M which is better than the B970, so the Toshiba is better than the Lenovo despite being more expensive. I now need to decide whether the difference between the Toshiba and the Acer is worth £49.

Thanks for the pointer.

What is the exact model number of Toshiba and Acer? (a link to each PC will be better)

Toshiba is very recommended for life usage

Toshiba
Acer

It's for my son - 15 years old, used for homework etc.

I'd say Lenovo then you wouldn't have to learn a new operating system.

I now need to decide whether the difference between the Toshiba and the Acer is worth £49.

This price difference due to CPU and RAM as Toshiba is 4GB while Acer is 6GB

I think Acer is worth that price difference.

Bearing in mind that it'll only be used for homework and the like, I'm opting for the cheaper Toshiba. Thanks for the help, everyone.
