Do you want to play any games on this?

The HP seems to have a GT 650M video card and the Toshiba only has Mobile Intel HD Graphics, huge difference if you want to play games.

If you want to play games the GT 650M is much, much better.

The two laptops look very similar, and both brands are OK. Not sure exactly which models you're comparing, but if you want to play any games get one with an AMD or nvidia graphics chip instead of Intel HD Graphics.

If you don't plan on playing games, just get whichever one you like the look of. They're probably made in the same factory anyway.
