Laptops: Choosing between 2 models

I can't decide between these two:
* Asus F6A0-X2
* Toshiba M305
Here's a link to the compare page:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=cat13504&type=page&pageIdentity=searchDriven&useProductSt... 
I currently have an HP with a 14" screen and I'm satisfied with the size and weight.  The Toshiba is the same size, but the Asus has a 13" screen and is lighter by about a pound. 
Here are my thoughts on the two:
Asus F6A:
PROS: is getting very good reviews, very light and portable, 4hrs battery life, good chipset
CONS: not sure about the brand, and the look and quality
Toshiba M305: 
PROS: also getting good reviews, Toshiba brand, faster RAM, cheaper by $10, good speakers (?)
CONS: heavier, shorter battery life (3hrs), 
So pretty much the main draw of the Asus is portability and battery life, but I'm not sure if I would like using a 13". In fact if I don't like the Asus I would gladly spend a little more for the slightly higher-end Toshibas.
The problem would be solved if I could test the units in person, but I called and BestBuy says these are not available in any store.
My thanks to anyone who can help out.

I would go with the Toshiba. Larger screen, faster memory, better known brand name. Asus makes a great motherboard but I have no experiance with actually using any of their laptops.

  • Difference between models G20 and G25

    Hi folks!
    I've been seeking a laptop and I was amazed with Qosmio.
    When I was going to order it, i noticed that there are lots of G20 models with different specifications. I also found G25 on internet searches and found no difference between G25 and G20 except that G25 TV receiver is NTSC and G20 was out on March and G25 was on June. They've the same specifications instead for the hard drive.
    I live in Portugal and the only Qosmio model I can find here is G20-118. I was looking for the model that has 2x100Gb SATA HD but can't figured it out.
    On internet researches i found Qosmio G20-111 that has 2x100Gb SATA HD but on the web page mentioned that it was a Pentium III processor (ridicule, isn't it?). I was looking for more reliable information.
    Already searched toshiba pages and didn't find specifications for all models that i found on web searches such as G20-102, 105, 106, 108, 109, 111, 118, 123,490LS, ...
    Can anyone help me with this? Is there any reliable web page where i can see the differences between models? is there any .pdf or anyone that can please give me some tips?
    Money is no problem at this time to acquire the laptop, i am only looking for the higgest performance laptop!
    Best Regards
    Joo Pereira

    Hi
    Its very difficult to say which unit is the best, because there are many models with different parts.
    Nevertheless I found page with G20 and G25 description.
    Take a look at this link.

  • How to get rid of the attention to choose between my wifi network or the apple tv? That appears in the screen saver

    When the screen saver is on appears an message where ask me to choose between my wi fi network or my Apple Tv in order to get the signal from my PC. There is something I must do to set up the Airplay, if so, what I have to do and where?

    If you are talking about the header bar of the Message Pane the only way to get rid of it completely is to close the message pane by pressing F8.
    There is a add on called Compact Header that will let you make it smaller.

  • How to choose between different audio output in different programs

    I want to choose between the audio outputs in different programs.
    For example; I want to hear spotify/iTunes with my plugged-in speakers and skype with the build-in/intern speakers.
    It is possiple to control this on Windows but can I do it on Mac?
    Does anyone know an app for this problem?
    Thanks for help!

    I'd assume you'd want to set the sequence to "slur" notes and then just calculate the notes between a top & bottom value based on a float and generate NOTE_ON messages appropriately.
    The pitch bend is designed to emulate / support the bend wheel found on sound keyboards...and it just modifies the pitch associated with a given note. A pitch bend of +2 would turn an A into B, etc...
    So, you'd want to do...
    SET_SLUR (however you do that, I'm not a MIDI expert)
    pitch = bottom_pitch + ((top_pitch-bottom_pitch) * sliderValue);
    NOTE_ON(pitch)

  • Help me choose between a G4 867 DP or 1.33 G4 Mac mini

    What would be better to use for me? I do simple desktop publishing with Indesign and Photoshop CS, I need to choose between a MDD Dual 867 with 2 gig of ram, ATI 8500 video card, airport card and two SATA hard drives with a total of 360 GB of storage or a Mac mini 1.33 GHz G4 with 1 gig of ram, bluetooth & airport extreme with a external 160 GB mini stack. I like the MDD because its upgradeable but is it worth putting more money in it? The mac mini I am stuck with the 1 gig of ram & 32 mb video card. I need help with this decision so your input would be very appreciated.

    No NO!!! Go with the Mini! The mini is much better as its so small and cute and doesn't take up all that room compared to that mighty MDD machine!
    JUST KIDDING!!!!
    No, seriously go with the MDD. Its more stable, rock solid, and would show the mini a thing or two. My dual 1.25 simply rocks!
    The DP 1.6 and 1.8 LACK L3 CACHE!!! remember, L3 CACHE is the backbone as to why the G4s are still fighting to hang on!! No, I would rather keep my dual 1.25 with 2MB L3 then go with a sonnet upgrade which doesn't have L3. Unless, someone can honestly tell me if its really worth my money(of which I have, and can get things at wholesale price) to pop in the 1.8DP or 1.6dp and see DRAMATIC speed performance and speed bumps.

  • Can I set FIREFOX to choose between two different homepages or websites?

    I know that Firefox will open any number of web sites when you start it. I want to have the ability to choose between opening a preset number of sites and just one. For instance at the beginning of the day I want all my banking sites available when I start. Later in the day I want to open only say, Google. Is there any way to have Firefox do that?

  • Okay so i have been trying to contact apple for days now but i was just thinking why do we have to only choose between white or black for the digitizer? would i be able to send my ipod into apple to get it customized to a different color besides that?

    Apple does not offer custom colors. I'd suggest you get a skin for your iPod. Those are available in hundreds of colors and patterns and since they're not permanent, they don't affect the iPod's warranty and you can change if you ever get tired of the skin you chose.

  • Rigging a pop-up and a check box to choose between 8 snapshots?

    I'm having a problem working out how to create the hierarchical rigs to choose between 8 snapshots.
    I have two sets of four snapshots: A, B, C, D and a, b, c, d
    I'd like to have a pop-up menu with four options: A, B, C, D
    I'd like a check box that is marked 'Upper case'
    These two controls would give the option to choose between A, B, C and D - and defining whether the snapshot is 'upper case' or 'lower case'.
    Any idea how to rig this?

    Would this work for what you want?
    -create 4 layers (lower case a,b,c,d)
    -Create a new rig and add a pop-up and a checkbox.
    -To the Pop up, add layers and set the layer opacity as needed for each options (a,b,c,d).
    -To the checkbox, add the text parameter "All Caps".  Check each letter.
    This is only 4 items you have to deal with.  It's the fastest, easiest way to achieve what it sounds like you are trying to create.

  • I am going to buy a macbook pro 15" but i can't choose between glossy or anti-glare

    i am going to buy a macbook pro 15" with the 8gb ram and all that jazz but i can't choose between the glossy or anti glare they both will apply to my daily use but i cannot decide. is it possible to pick lets ay the glossy one then if i dont like it switch to the anti-glare or not ?

    You can replace the screen later on, but at a cost.
    Best bet would be to go to an apple shop and have a look at the 2 side by side and decide for yourself; if there was 1 that was better than the other, apple wouldn't give you the choice.
    p.s. on a personal note I like the glossy one better. nicer picture IMO

Any suggestions on what to do?

  • While listening to music in my car, I don't have the option to choose between bluetooth and headphones anymore. Why?

    On IOS 6 and earlyer, I use to be able to choose between the bluetooth or the headphone jack. Now, I can only play music true my bluetooth and I can't pause the music. Anybody has a solution?

    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • How to pass value between models?

    Dear all,
    I use VC 7.0 composer to create dashboards. That include one overview dashboard (model) to show seven KPI in one screen and I also have seven detailed dashboards (models) to show the detail of each KPI.  Each dashboard has their own iView .   User will only need to pick a plant once at the overview dashboard and I expect the plant value will be passed to other seven detailed dashboards.
    Since those dashboards are saved in different models, I just wonder is it possible I can pass the value from the overview dashboard model to the separated detailed dashboard models? The reason I donu2019t put all dashboards in one model because I need to have different reports assigned on the left of the screen for each dashboard in portal. If I need to accomplish this in portal, I believe I need separate iView(model) for each dashboard. Please correct me if I am wrong since I am new to portal development. Thanks.

    I think it is possible to pass values between models.
    Just creat on "Write-RFC" and one "Read-RFC"
    The RFC has just the function to write/read a value into an customer table...
    ^^ We have tried this scenario and it works perfect.

    It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
    Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
    Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.
