Really undecided?

Really unsure whether to go for a Surface Pro when its releases or go for the TOSHIBA Satellite P850-31L laptop. What's your opinion? The laptop seems practical for all uses with its large spec.

The laptop:

Processor - Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM processor
RAM - 8 GB DDR3
Hard drive - 1 TB SATA 5400 rpm
Graphics card - 2 GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 640M dedicated memory
Screen type - Widescreen TruBrite® HD TFT High Brightness display
Screen resolution - 1366 x 768
Screen size - 15.6"

the res is tiny... the surface pro will be 1080p!

Is that enough to go for a surface though? Looking at allt of the other laptops the screen resolution are very much similar. The Specs for this laptop look amazing.

Yes that laptop has a nice spec but look at its hdd.

Its a good size but a 5200rpm drive is slow... you will find that the surface will have a much better feel to it with the ssd

Surface pro has no gfx chip either?

I would go for the surface. Hands down.
