hi @rolli59 thanks for your reply is that cos its an i7 or is there any other reason?

Well Costco advertises the L855-188 as hot buy and not the other one, so I'm sold.

Seriously though: the i7 system is better. Better CPU, larger drive, and oddly, the i7 model is cheaper. They're part of the same line from Toshiba too, so if you discover any issues that seem prevalent across this series, you know not to exchange it for the other one.

Better CPU same GPU and cheaper. And 6GB is fine on ram.
