Acer aspire or toshiba satallite?

[Jerrycobra]

so, now i am actually ready to buy a laptop. office max has a acer core i3 machine for 479 bucks, and starting tomorrow office max is offering a toshiba for 550, also core i3 but with more storage. which should i get, both brand are ok, save acer for slighter cheaper frame. I personally like toshibas, but is the more expensive price worth it?

also, a thinkpad, same specs for 550, but not sure if i want a business model, but i heard thinkpads are durable, and it has a cool trackpoint

i repair less toshibas especially for hardware faults - does that help?
