Okay, so the trip to Best Buy didn't quite happen just yet... But I've made some changes to the choice of laptops that I might buy. Instead of purchasing the 11" Acer E3-111-C0WA ($200), I've considered two bigger alternatives:
The 15.6"
ASUS X551MAV-RCLN06 ($230) and the 15.6"
Toshiba Satellite C55-B5201 ($230).
The ASUS has a better customer rating (on Best Buy, at least), a slightly better warranty, and an appearance (in my opinion) vastly superior to the Toshiba Satellite. However, the Toshiba Satellite appears to have the better specifications (despite the two computers being the same price.).
So... should I get the ASUS, the Toshiba Satellite, or stick with the Acer?
