    Im a pretty big Toshiba fan myself, but between those two i'd choose the Asus. I like the full 15.6" screen and the number pad. Im not a fan of the 14" screen form factor.

    Also, the clock speed on the i5 in the Asus is quite a bit faster. Given they both have the same size battery the smaller Toshiba probably has a longer battery life though.

    What do you know about keyboard issues on the Toshiba laptops?


    I was thinking of the toshiba because it is more portable and my wife will occasionally use it on her lunch break. I'm like you, I like the larger screen on the Asus as we always take a laptop on vacation with us to watch movies and such.

    Clock speed is an issue, but I'm not sure it is a deal breaker. There wont be anything too heavy being done with this. No gaming or video editing that uses up a lot of resources.


    Do you know of any other laptops I should be looking at?
