Disclaimer -- They both have their pluses and minuses and choosing between them is really a matter of personal preference weighed against the feature-sets available. You should do some research & read some reviews about the -specific models- you are considering buying.
Having worked with a lot of used equipment, I have to admit that all the 10-year-old compaq laptops ive seen seem to have survived better than all the 10-year-old toshibas. It may or may not still be the case, but compaq has always had a reputation for building a pretty sturdy portable. Toshiba on the other hand has always been more adventurous about putting in the latest greatest hardware (for better or worse) and usually has a little bit better performance machines available.
All things being equal, my personal choice is I'd go with the Toshiba.
Note: The above answer was typed on a dell laptop (because they had financing(which i dont recommend (the financing i mean, the laptops fine)))

∙ 14y agoI recommend Toshiba, because of the speed and the amount of storage it comes with.
I also like them because of the usual 4 USB ports.
