Terminated.
You obviously didn't feel the difference of having a machine with 2 min boot time and one with 15 seconds boot time (measured with Soluto). I'd always go for the one with a faster disk, unless the specifications of the other one are way better.

Well during the week I mostly live with my girlfriend in her appartment since it's only 5 minutes of the hospital where i have my internship , so I need a pc I can move around

Ah.  Sorry if I missed this, but what will you do on the computer?  Will it just be for casual browsing on the internet, or hardcore gaming, or what?  If it's just casual browsing, you actually don't need that good of a computer.  But like I said, the Toshiba IMO would be better because of its processing speed.

I would go with the toshiba because of the better CPU, and the graphic card is very similar.

Make sure you get an SSD. You don't want anything but an SSD for a hard disk. Believe me, there's nothing better than having an SSD. It's not a lot faster, it's a whole universe faster.
Also, people I know had bad experiences with Toshiba. I'd stick with Lenovo if I were you!
Does SSD only improve the access speed of programs (so i mean solely the speed of starting up a program) or does it improve the speed of a program afterwards aswell

Thank you all again for the great advise here, I just ordered the Toshiba one, apparently the price should have been 800 eur but got it for 730 eur due to mistake on the site. I think it's already posted to my home so am hoping they can't undo the order anymore  Tongue . I picked the Toshiba one because (besides the fact it has no full HD and an HDD) the overal performance just looked better and think most here agreed with that.

Toshiba one, because i7-4700MQ way better than i7-4510U
you can compare them here :

U in i7-4510U means Ultra/Lower Performance Processor (Than M series), good for Ultrabook so that processor don't drain your battery
M for performance.
i'm sure GT840M is better than GT740M, but it won't make huge difference in gaming and real life use
SSHD (SSD + HDD hybrid) is faster than traditional HDD
but you can upgrade it anytime, not like processor Grin
There is not much difference in specification so it all comes down to brand and I'll choose Toshiba over Lenovo on any given day.

Reason :-

Toshiba is Japanese
Lenovo is Chinese
Yes Japanese brand, but i saw many of Toshiba laptops made in China Tongue
especially in Asia Pacific markets
Thanks for that site !

Both are good, although I'm not sure if it's that great of a deal, why not get a desktop computer?
I would go with the Toshiba, I've owned 2 and they were pretty decent.  It's got better processing speed of the 2 as well.

i have a lenovo laptop, and while it's nice overall, i don't like the design.. it's a copy of the macbooks, except it's almost the size of a 14" while only having a 13.3" display. if it were better designed to make it the size of a normal 13.3" ultrabook, i'd be really happy with it overall.

That doesn't matter much though many parts of Apple and Samsung products are manufactured in China, but you can feel the difference.
