Toshiba a505-s6980 vs Toshiba p505-s8980

by huddler Nov 27, 2009 7:43AM PST

I cant decide between these 2 machines. The a505 has a longer battery life and a 16" screen. It also got rave reviews by CNET. The p505 has a HUGE 18.4" but weaker battery life. It also hasnt been reviewed by CNET. Any opinions on which I should get?

The thing about big screens.

Is that you may call it a weaker battery but the big screen turns this into a desktop replacement so even 10 minutes of battery time may be all that is needed. Have you owned a big screen laptop before? Are you planning to use it as a desktop replacement?
