tech ping?
which ever one you get...a life savin feature not to miss IMHO is keys that light up .
A few years ago, I bought an HP Pavilion. It’s OK, but I do regret not buying one with a 10-key numbers pad. Probably important only if a person is used to production numeric data entry. Typing number the “old-fashioned way” sure cuts down on speed and accuracy.
I bought a low end Toshiba Satellite L-305 on purpose, but I wish it had more RAM and stuff now. Plus the hard drive crapped out and I now use Linux Ubuntu. I am going to install Windows 7 eventually and run Linux Ubuntu from the USB card.
I’ve had two Asus Gaming series laptops (a G72 and G74) and my wife uses a regular Asus and they are very good computers. I sold the G72 to a friend and he’s still using it.
I use Dells at work and they’re OK, but not great. I’ve had to replace quite a few of them over the last 10 years.
I’m very partial Asus for their quality and reliability.
tiger direct has a del i7 today for $699
just make sure it has backlight keyboard
If you are just cruising the web and blogs like FR, take a look at the tablet pc’s. Cheaper and batteries last a lot longer, less maintenance.
stay away from windows 8. try the windows 7 version.
or try this:

Windows 8 is not too different from 7 once you go to the desktop.
Samsung google computer. Lightning fast, cheap... Done.
I do not know which one you will buy but whichever one it is then just as soon as you get it, jam as much RAM into it as you can.
Once you go black, you’ll never go back...erp...I.mean Mac!
Play around with the checkbox selections on the right until you find one with the best processor/memory/drive size/etc. that you can get that will fit your budget.
Free shipping for one over (I think $400), so factor that into your calculations as well.
I bought my granddaughter an intel i3 based one a few years ago and she has been using it without a hitch since that time.
I bought myself an intel i7 based one a over a year ago, and other than an initial total fail when trying to use the first day (they paid shipping back, fixed it, and returned), it has operated flawlessly since then.
I bought my daughter an intel i3 based one a few months ago, and it also has had no problems so far. She didn't care about which operating system was on it, so she got Windows 8, while my granddaughter and myself both got Windows 7.
While you're there, look around at their returns/refurbs, as you can find some pretty impressive deals, and they carry the same 1 year guarantee as their new laptops do, and if you select one of those, you don't have to wait for it to be built, so you will get it quicker. My daughter's laptop was a return/refurb because she wanted it quickly.
Sorry I didn't answer your question specifically, but I thought I'd pass the Toshiba site on to you just in case it might be of value to you (or any other Freeper looking for a laptop).
Good luck on whatever your buy.
Apple Mac Pro.
I’m assuming both are WIndows DOS.
Save yourself the trouble, spend a little more and get a MacBook Pro (Retina display if you can afford it). There are too many features to go into with you here.
You won’t regret it.
Between those two I would grab the ASUS with Windows 7
If you are willing to spend just a little more you can pick up a much better machine though
I have a much higher end laptop with Windows 8 and would dump it instantly for ANY laptop with Windows 7 as long as it had a number keypad
Windows 8 is very hard on my carpel tunnel .
Linux Laptop.
ASUS Toshiba MSI ACER
