Notebooks I have used #1
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.

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)

Con:
- No overclocking

- 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

Re: Notebooks I have used #5
The painting on the Toshiba is really as bad as it could possibly be. I've never seen such a bad paintjob before
