    Toshiba or Samsung laptop??
    My old Toshiba laptop recently broke and I really need a new one soon. Have been doing some research and have narrowed it down to either toshiba A300-1MC or Samsung R510.

    They are pretty much identical spec but the Samsung looks much prettier. But my old toshiba was really good so I feel I should maybe stick with them, and don't want to buy something just because it looks better!

    If anyone has any advice about which brand might be better then i would really appreciate it.

    Thanks

    samsung prettier
    i nearly bought a samsung till i realised it would be too heavy to carry about
    my flatmate has a samsung and said never buy one... so ummm
    i guess toshiba better but samsung prettier...
    personally id get the samsung but i did base the decision on whether or not to buy this one on the fact it had cool blue lights.... lol

    I actually think the Toshiba looks better, but maybe (and more than likely) I just have no sense of style? (Speaking from the fact I am currently wearing grey socks with red stars on them) :p:

    All I can say in relation to the laptops is that I have a Toshiba currently and have had no problems with it so far (After 8 months). Both are highly reputable brands in the laptop market so you shouldn't really have any problems with them.
