I urgently need to buy a laptop within 4 days, my budget is ~20K.

The Toshiba one has AMD APU while the Asus one has a 2nd gen Core i3.

1. The Toshiba one is available for 16,999/- from HS18 with gift coupon, the Asus one is ~24K in Flipkart

2. Main use of laptop is browsing, watching HD movies, and playing games like Amnesia, Angry Birds etc (No heavy gaming)

3. Is there much performance difference between the two? Because the Toshiba model is almost cheaper by 7K.

Specs and comparison:

of course yes. In games both are head to head but in general task, E300 is slow. If you run browser + music + word + other software at the sametime go for the X54.

Nah mate, won't multitask that much :D ,

Will be adding extra 2GB or 4GB RAM with that saved cash.

How good is Toshiba India ASS?

just my few cents............

Why not get 2nd gen. Pentium Dual Core around 20k. It will be quite future proof as well.

Is its performance better than the APU? Some model suggestions..?

How would this one be?

How is its Intel HD graphics comparable to the APU's performance (in terms of gaming and viewing HD videos)?

What do I do, I need a 20K laptop with similar specs :|

And does the Intel Pentium B950 have HD2000 or HD3000 IGP?

1. Will I be able to playback at least HD videos (720p and 1080p)? What about games like Amnesia, Angry Birds etc. (No heavy games at all)

2. Does the AMD config have a better GPU?

3. I live in Bangalore, how good is Toshiba's ASS here?

1) yes, without a hitch (4gb RAM)
2) yes, but processor is real slow.
3) can't say, but toshiba's are pretty reliable as per feedbacks, can't say about ASS.

^ After sales support mate!

Thanks for that reply Sujay,

So which one shall I go for? The AMD or Intel one? Both have the same price (HS18), what I feel is the Intel one has a better CPU with a lesser graphics performance, and vice-verse for the AMD one.

Again, main use - Windows 7, Browsing, HD movies, music, MS Office, light gaming (like older NFS, GTA SA, Amnesia, Angry Birds etc.)

PS - Will add extra 4GB RAM to whichever one I purchase.

i checked something and the E300 is nothing but a E350 with low clocked processor. The whole C & E range have max 500Mhz (532Mhz) GPU with same 80 shader unit. So E300 is not that slow compared to E350 or 450. But still 350/450 itself is quite slow. So to be safe, my vote goes to the Pentium B950 based Toshiba. Gaming will be more or less same but the general performance will be lot better.

yup. I have bought mobile and books from them. But they don't have official courier channel like FK. Instead ship through bluedart.

HS18 doesn't have any 30 days replacement guarantee like FK, if any issues do arise say like within a week or month won't they replace it?

The model, C850-P5010 DDR3 1333 MHz RAM, will this be compatible from Flipkart?
Transcend DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM (JM1333KSN-4G) | Ram | Flipkart.com

Is the price OK or will I get it cheaper locally?
