I like the feel of the Dell. Had a bad experience with Toshiba - the motherboard cracked shortly after warranty period. See answer to #14.

USA
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I have a child who is hard on stuff (not abusive). I need a laptop that can withstand rougher handling. The Dell has withstood 3 years with no problem. I wonder if the Toshiba could not take it. I also suspect larger screen size increases the chance of a cracked screen. Beautiful but fragile is not an option.
