On the Toshiba website you CAN configure a Portege R30-A1320 laptop that is the almost equivalent of the Dell and Apple I was comparing. . . but the 1366x768 screen resolution (720P) of the Toshiba Portage is not even close to the Apple's 2304 x 1440 Retina display, the battery life of 6-7 hours is no where close to the 14 hours you get with the Apple, its weight is far heavier at 3.37lbs than the Apple's 2 lbs, . . . but Toshiba at $1599 without software, IS $100 more expensive than the Apple with a full suite of software. . . WOW! What a bargain. LOL!

Hey AppleBot!!! Hey Robot!! Still making comparisons that have nothing to do with reality. That 85% of laptop buyers don't need your overspeced, overpriced Apple laptops. Are you always on automatic??
Toshiba quality on their $500 laptops is very good. The world has progressed while you get left eating dust with your ill informed putdowns of other manufacturers. That only when you spend quadruple for an Apple lap top will you get a quality build. That is a lie and just more Apple fanbot arrogance. SILLY and PATHETIC!

AH! i am willing to bet that your friend's Toshiba doesn't have a 256GB SSD, nor did it weigh under 2 lbs, as did both of the compared laptops I was looking at in my comparison.

Lol....my friend needs none of that and certainly is not going to blow another $2000 on an Apple laptop that does. My friend lives in the real world of websurfing and light office applications. His new $500 Toshiba will do the trick. With 8gb ram and i5 processor he is all set. .
