I owned that HP with the A6. Was a good laptop but I returned it because of the track pad. The track pad has a bumpy surface that I could not get use to. If you don't mind the trackpad I think it would be the best for gaming. Thje Lenovo and Asus are the same when it comes to gaming performance.

Didnt like Lenovo because of the hardwear and how fast it slowed down. Then when you need there tech support to fix it, they treat you very poorly. But this is from my experience with Lenovo. I personally say for laptops go with toshiba, or hp. And acer for notebooks, iv had no real problems with any if them and use my acer aspire for tuning my car.

Manic Azus are killer machines for gaming and high volumes of use. Toshiba are a bit slower but have better screen and hardwear. If your a gamer go with Azus, if your using it for school and personal things stick with the toshiba. That's my personal opinion.

Uhh. Lenovo doesn't have anything to do with how installed software slows it down.

Personally Asus/Lenovo/Acer are my current choices for PC laptops. I don't see Toshiba having a better screen or hardware compared to the Asus gaming series otherwise you'd see Toshiba being very popular among gamers which it isn't. And it's ASUS not AZUS.

No but they have a lot to do with there mother boards crapping out prematurely(Lenovo). And they have a hard time with updates in my experience. And like I said asus for a gamer and toshiba for a personal laptop.

Chevy makes the corvette but also makes the Silverado pickup Truck. Not all Asus laptops are good for gaming many like the one posted above with Intel graphics s not.

No matter what manufacturer you're going to have the possibility of defective parts. Just because your Lenovo had it doesn't mean they all will so you can't technically assume one has better hardware than the other.
