Having reluctantly had to step away from employment due to managerial disagreement I am now in the position of having to return my company laptop at the end of the month.
This means I have to find a suitable laptop for my personal and possible future employment needs. Having used HP products because that was what the Company supplied I have not been too impressed and would not necessarily consider them for a personal purchase.
I have looked at the spec for two Toshiba products and they seem to meet my requirements:
L70-B-119 and C75
Both have 17" screen, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard disk, enough USB slots etc so it comes down to
L70 - 1.7Ghz / iCore 3 / roughly 6H battery life
C75 - 2.4 Ghz / iCore 3 / roughly 3-3.5H battery life
If anyone can share their thoughts or recommendations it would be very much appreciated.
Is the higher clock speed worth the reduced battery life
Is the 17" screen making things more complicated (cost). Would a 15.6" screen offer more options
I use Office and other Windows related software, do not watch movies, basic gaming etc
