Student looking for a laptop, I have a proper gaming desktop, so the graphics aren't as important as if it was my sole purchase. Simply, which would you recommend for school use:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-350V5C-15-6-inch-Laptop-Silver/dp/B009SJCX86/ref=pd_sim_sbs_computers_3
or
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-Satellite-L855-15-6-inch-Bluetooth/dp/B009HQ6V56/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1EFAZO7T2KZ9&coliid=I3GHMDJO4P23V7

Or if any other laptops at £580 or less with a quad core i7 that you'd recommend, feel free.
Thank you.

Well they are both about equal, and both have horrible resolution on the screens. In this given day anything below say 1600x900 is just pretty much unacceptable. So basically if you have to choose between the two, check out the warranty and such to get the most for your money. So like stated above, Samsung probably gets your more for your money.

Otherwise I would recommend this: It is £70 more, but it comes with a 1080p screen and has midrange graphics 7730M.

Because of the small amount of space on it. The 1080p screen has twice the real estate area for usage as the 720p+.
