Deciding between 2 laptops. Need help

[hicho223]

So staples had a sale and I was looking at a couple laptops.

I am only going to use it to shop online, pay bills, do my taxes on etc.. Nothing with gaming, video editing or big stuff. I have desktop for that. Just need something portable to take with me.

So I was looking at these 2


http://www.staples.com/Toshiba-Satellite-C55-C5270-Laptop/product_1674140

http://www.staples.com/Dell-Inspiron-i5558-2147BLK-15-6-LCD-Intel-i3-1TB-6GB-Windows-10-Notebook/product_1738546

I see mixed reviews on both so not sure which brand is better etc..

Toshiba is $350 at my local staples 5 minutes away but costs more and have to wait for a $50 rebate that may never come. So $300 total

Dell is a 2 hour roundtrip to pick up but bit cheaper at $267 total.

Anyone got any thoughts? I know better laptops exist but I have a good desktop for gaming and demanding stuff just need a decent laptop to do light stuff on and I don't want to spend a fortune.

I would go with the Toshiba Satellite if you're happy to pay for that little bit extra.
