Need more information than that intel make a lot of processors you've not stated which model either are so can't tell.. Post a link to the actual laptops if you can or at least more information on the actual models and other laptop components

Depending on the models, but the 2nd one would be faster.

You have a model code for the 2nd one?

2pack

have a little more info on the HP/toshiba, I didn't think there would be that much difference in the speed between the two that you would notice anyway

Toshiba satellite c660 18c
Processor - Intel® Celeron® Processor 2.3GHZ, 925
800mhz
RAM 1GB


OR

HP 6710b
Processor - Intel® Pentium Processor 1.60 ghz Dual Core. RAM 1GB

The 2nd one would be a good bit more powerful than the first one

2pack

ok didnt think there was much in it to be honest...does increasing the memory make them much faster

to be honest i wouldn't feel all that great running win 7 on 1GB of ram it'll run but multitasking would be... there wouldn't be that much between the CPU them in day to day use but to be honest both are fairly outdated towards today's standards... increasing the ram would make a bit of a difference but not a massive speed boost

where are you buying from and what's your budget?

2pack

Guy selling them in England, got a few bits of him before
HP is about 7/10 condition with battery lasting 1 hour... 100stg price mark,
Toshiba 8/10, 15.6 screen, price 120stg.... 3 hours battery.. all wireless and dvd rewriter..
neither has hdmi or webcam but then i dont use these,
all working perfect... 3 months warranty included... what do you all think of the price.
The internet in my area is slow below 2mb... my budget is around the 120stg or 150 euro mark..

if portability is not an issue with horrible battery life i'd prob go with the Toshiba the faster CPU will make some what of a difference and make it last longer and considering it's dual core it'd run multitasking better..

2pack

ok i decided not to go for these as most of you think they are kinda too slow and may try to up my budget abit and get something faster...
what about the intel core i3 2.2ghz or quad core are these seem to be good and fast

yep be grand, make sure at least 4gb of ram though or upgrade yourself.

Don't buy Celeron

Your fastest laptop , may depend on your Broadband provider .
