Well you don't list what video chip the toshiba uses, but it looks like the better in all the other stats. From what I've seen of the intel graphics, its pretty horrible for games.
 
agree. toshiba looks better.

But in all honesty....your not going to be playing any recent games unless it has a decent mobile GPU. Im talking 6600 or better. Maybe a x600 mobility...maybe Intel "extreme" is not going to play anything recent.
 
Toshy all the way!!! especialy if its using quality gpu like atk says.. plus you dont need to pay the extra $ for pro, home's good enuf
 
I would get a CyberPower laptop w/ a AMD 64 cpu and the ATI x700 GPU. You can get this baby for under 1500 bucks easy. This is if you are buying the laptop for gaiming.
 
cool
