    Performance and features wise the specs says it all - Acer. Quality wise Toshiba might be better, but Acer s got good quality too.

    Bakerm,

    I'm gonna assume the CPU types was just a type-o for the 4501WLMi, it probably should be 715. Plus, I believe the 4501WLMi units have a DVD+/-RW drive.

    The only main difference between the 2 units is in price and branding. Toshiba has the bigger name, but Acer provides better value for the dollar, while still providing good quality.

    My vote would be for the Acer.
