All 3 are around $300, though the Toshiba has a faster CPU.

Asus: X502CA-HPD1104J-W
Dell: I15RV-953BLK
Toshiba: C55-A5302

Any comments?

pentium is ok for surfing the web and playing flash but youll find youd be better of with a apu laptop

strengths

faster at loading videos via youtube watching movies and actually can play some games on low settings

e.g sims and a few other games if she gets into

whats your budget for the laptop ?

diffrence from pentium and apu a series

amd apus have a cpu and a graphics die on one...

amd apus have a cpu and a graphics die on one chip makes it more powerful and also energy efficient

intel has a type of graphics but its nothing like a graphics card i call it a cheap emulator lol

I was trying to stick around $300 but if its worth the extra 79, I'll go with the one you recommended.
