Now I didn’t “choose” my laptop as it was an insurance payout after a burglary last year but if I was to choose I like it enough I’d probably get it myself.My only issue is it’s a tiny bit light on RAM but there is capacity for another 8GB to max it out which I’ll do once I have a job. I only use PSE but it’s fine for that. I’ve had several laptops around the same price point ($800-1200NZD) and HP win every time over Toshiba - I find HP’s don’t overheat at the drop of a hat, all my Toshiba ones did, HP’s feel sturdier as well. I’d imagine if my first HP laptop hadn’t been stolen I’d still be using it over 3 years down the track.
