Which to buy: Toshiba or Asus

[techSultan]

Hi all,

I shopping for a laptop for college, and I've narrowed the search down to this Toshiba laptop
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834216539

and this Asus laptop
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230987

But now I can't choose. I was looking for something below $600, but this Toshiba laptop has the new Intel U processor and an LED screen which both draw significantly less power than their respective components on the ASUS. However, the ASUS laptop is less than $600, and has a more powerful processor--and I don't want to get something that will show age in less than 4 years.

Do y'all think the Toshiba laptop is powerful enough to last me 4 years of mainly word processing and a little bit of gaming on the side? Or should I save $100 and go with the ASUS?

I appreciate all the tips and help!

Cheers!

Either of those are nice, I'm partial to Asus because I love their products. The Acer Aspire V5-572G-6679 http/www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DKFFFXO/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00DKFFFXO&linkCode=as2&tag=b0b929-20 is also a nice laptop.

Ahh, thanks for the recommendation.
