Question
QUESTION: Which is better Hp or Tosiba i really want to get the prons and cons of the brands

ANSWER: Honestly there isn't going to be much of a difference, as neither of them directly manufactures the majority of the components that go into their systems. Do you have a pair of systems you're trying to compare directly to one another?

QUESTION: I want to know which one is better made

Answer
Like I said, there isn't going to be much of a difference between the two, at least generally speaking, both are big OEM brands that produce tons of different product variations, each brand has its own duds, each brand has its own rockstars, honestly if the only difference between two systems was brand (HP or Toshiba) I'd probably flip a coin or something similar, given that neither is a bad deal.
