Which laptop is better? I'm a n00b :)

[Redster11]

Hey guys need some quick urgent advice. I'm in need of a laptop and have been offered 2 good deals.

One is a Toshiba R830-143 (Intel i5 processor, 6GB RAM) - 13.3" £230

Other is a newer laptop Asus S56C (Intel Core I5, 4GB Ram, Nvidia Geforce graphics card) - 15.6" £240

Which one is better, i usually just watch movies and browse the internet, nothing extreme.

Cheers

what graphics does the toshiba have?

 

[Redster11]

Just the normal Intel graphics card, as it was released in 2011. But it's got a faster processor i think in terms of GHZ.

well, if you are gunna play games go with the one with better graphics. otherwise, go with the better cpu.

So is the 13.3" compared to the 15.7" not much of a big difference?

 

[Danbuscus25]

well, the 13.3" is 2.4" smaller screen diagonally. so go with the toshiba 13.3" unless you want to play a lot of games, then i would go with the other one. gl

I'm not going to play games, as i have a PS3 for that but i would like to occasionally watch movies, so which one do you think is the better value for money?

I'm just a bit stuck as this one is a newer laptop with Windows 8 and has things like smart gesture, whereas that one is older, but looks to be better, so yeah bit confused.

the one with 6gb ram and a faster i5 will be better for you then. and windows 7 and 8 are both great OS, i personally preffer 7. but windows 8 does have a lot of cool features.
