thx in advance
ofc toshiba is better , its cpu far better than lenovo’s. for gpu they are head to head , know that there is different versions of lenovo laptop with different gpus for the model you have written. there is no doubt toshiba is better , but i believe it is also far more expensive than the other. so if the money is not the problem go for toshiba.
as a side note , lenovo laptops that are produced in late september-december , bundled with an adware which may compromise security. for more info http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2477006,00.asp

so i dont suggest to buy any model of lenovo unless u are totally sure that it is not produced in late quarter of 2014.
The Toshiba looks like better CPU and graphics to me. Maybe you could have a hybrid hard drive on it.
Should do you nicely!
They are both plastic clunkers with crap battery life and horribly bottlenecked processors (slow hdd)
Take a look at dells Inspiron 7000 series which have far better battery life. Sure a weaker (but much more efficient) CPU but lets face it its the GPU that will be a far bigger framerate killer in games.
thx for the replies
