This is not about performance results (though some can be added if you really want). It is more a user experience feedback.

In my case I like to change my daily use system which is a notebook every say 5/6 months. Doing so I spend quite some time with it, see things that might be unseen when reviewing, move with it a lot, use it almost like Mr. anybody.


HP Folio 13-1050ez
Toshiba Protege Z830

CPU: Intel Core i5-2467M
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000
Memory: 1x4GB DDR3-1333 CL9-9-9-24
SSD: 128GB Samsung




Pro:
- Fast
- Boot time
- Design
- Battery Life
- Keyboard is good (multimedia and navigation keys)
- Touchpad is good
- Very solid/robust (use it for months and it looks like new)
- Brightness is ok but higher would have been better
- Audio Quality is ok
- Quality of the display (I have seen worse)


Con:
- No overclocking
- Fan is very noisy
- Glossy type display
- Loud when watching a movie or when heavy workload
- Only 2 USB (one USB2.0 and one USB3.0)
- The USB3.0 port doesn't see some peripherals at all like printers, some mice, iPhones etc and that's annoying

I will add some of my experience with notebooks here too

The painting on the Toshiba is really as bad as it could possibly be. I've never seen such a bad paintjob before
