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?OK. This is a new post because now you have found two other machines.
Well, this time it is really hard to see the difference. Before it was two DIFFERENT OS. This time both are Windows 8 and the same trial Office 365.
Are you sure  these really are two different computers?
Other than the name, I don't see the distinction.
Just pick the one that looks good to you.   

Both specs look identical to me, Personally I would go for the ASUS as they are generally seen as a better brand when compared to Toshiba.i think if the same price you should buy the better specifications as you said it should be the toshiba .
because when you want to PLAY your computer on the games or others ,you really hope your computer
can be in the highest specs . higher specs always come first
