I am trying to purchase a laptop notebook for my girlfriend. She basically only needs it for wireless internet and maybe a few work assignments for school. Also, some music playing here and there... but mostly for internet surfing and chatting on AIM. She is not worried about the Hard Drive capacity, or the size of the screen or even the battery life. Basically just speed, and the ability to multi-task online wirelessly. It seems the Toshiba is a better deal, but Dell laptops have been the only laptop she has ever used...
The players are:
1.) Dell Inspiron 1501 Notebook (DNCWHA1) with AMD Sempron 3500+ 3500+ / 2.0 GHz Processor / 60GB Hard Drive / 512 MB DDR II SDRAM of Memory. Windows Vista Home
Full specs here (However, the one I am looking at is 2.0 GHz, not 1.8 GHz): http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/dell-inspi...61.html?tag=sub
2.) Toshiba Satellite L45-S4687 with 1.73 GHz Intel Core Duo processor T5300 / 80 GB Hard Drive / 1 GB of DDR2 of Memory. Windows Vista Home
