It depends, if you want more graphics power, go with the TOSHIBA but its a trade-off in CPU speed. If you dont care about graphics and less HDD space, go with the ACER, since it possesses an i5, witch is better but only has 320GB instead of the 500GB of the Toshiba.

Hd space isnt a concern, i got a 1tb my drive and wont be gaming on the computer at all. Mainly for business advertisement and printing out shipping labels basically.

I was at the point the i5 will be faster and run cooler than the Pii but i get less gfx. So its hard choice

Your welcome to make suggestions. Price range 500-650

It is a hard choice indeed, but I would choose the i5. Even with less GFX performance, its still HD graphics, and I think that for the work your describing, it will plenty enough.

I have a laptop similar to the one that your going to buy ( 470 $ ) and it has HD integrated GFX and I have no problem whatsoever with normal stuff (browsing, word, school projects, PPT and more) so I would go with the power of the i5 over more powerfull GFX.

Well i found this one and im gonna order it friday night.

Has better chipset that the First Acer i5 i listed. And a 7200rpm hard drive over 5400, along with windows 7 Pro over home premium. So both being same price, the HP wins it for me.

Is the i5 chip in laptops down sized to dual core rather quadcore. Or is this a mis label

i5 mobile chips are dual core. You'd need to move up to the i7 mobile "QM" series for 4 cores.

Thanks for the links.

Any of these laptops will do what you're asking of them...that being said I'd pick whatever i3 or i5 fits your budget best.

I was aiming at that i3 due to the 6gb ddr3 ram could come in handy. Be a nice hard decision as i thought i had it narrowed down till friend pointed those other 2 out.

You wouldn't even be using the full 4GB nevermind 6GB

Guess it all comes down to Final Decision. Ill post the one i decided to go with tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for help
