    The x1150 is about 30% faster than the x200. source. You can use USB controllers on any notebook with USB ports.

    Which Toshiba are you considering? The dell e1505 is a much better dollar-for-dollar laptop than the e1501. You can game much better on the x1400 in the e1505 for not much more money. Consider dell outlet if you are looking to buy on the cheap.
