Which of these 2?

[dorianwalk]

I am considering buying one of these 2 laptops:

Or

http/www.officedepot.com/a/products/473914/Toshiba-Satellite-Laptop-Computer-With-173/#firstTab

I will use it to do some office type stuff - letters, spreadsheets, etc. And I would like to be able to install and use Quickbooks. I use a Kindle Fire HDX 7 for surfing, checking email, etc ((because: recliner!) So the computer will be on a table or desk. I have had 2 Toshiba Satellites and they have been great. Current one is just getting slower and slower. And I don't think it can do.the QB thing.

Any help.would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Doris

The one with the A8 is obviously better, but it is more expensive too. Just depends on how much you want to spend.

Dell:
Faster CPU (by .4GHz)
Faster RAM
Can use Bluetooth
Lighter (by .43 lbs)
Bigger hard drive
Almost triple the battery life
Touchscreen

Toshiba:
Bigger screen
Double the RAM (16, Dell with 8)
Has a numeric keypad


If you need the battery life, hard drive space, and touchscreen, go with the Dell. If you can live without those, the Toshiba.
