Hello,
I am debating between these two laptops. Any advice on the pros and cons of either will be greatly appreciated (apart from weight and cost).

Hi,

I just bought a new laptop from best buy and its from Toshiba. As per me, its a very good value for money as the config is,

Toshiba Satelite
INtel Core i3 processor (I am not too technical now but I think this one is above the core 2 duo)
4 GB RAM
500 GB Hard drive
17.1" monitor
Windows 7
etc

I got it @ $829 plus tax.

This was from the last week's floor items. I think its still available with them. I bought the last one at Heartland. You would get it any other location.

Regards,

VJ.

My 0.02$

Its like voting for 'less corrupt' ...

Dell is, anyday, my lasy choice. And Acer don't even make it to my list. So between these two - I would go for Dell with atlease Intel Core 2 Duo.

Otherwise as VJ said - this Toshiba does sound good ... better than Dell n Acer

generally you wont find any issues with thoshiba. In worest case dell will be a better bet when it comes after sales support.
