Hi guys,
I am considering these two laptops, not sure which one is more durable an reliable. I am just a college student, not a gamer or anything alike.

Samsung $399.99: 4GB, 500 GB, i3-2350M, 6hr battery, with Bluetooth

Toshiba $449.99: 6GB, 500 GB, i3-2370M, 4hr battery, without Bluetooth , 1 USB 3.0 port

I strongly recommend Samsung over Toshiba. Toshiba gives you 2GB extra ram and maybe 1 month younger 2nd Gen processor. With Samsung, you are getting Bluetooth and 6-hr battery, and that too with a savings of $50. You probably may not realize the minor difference in performance with the older processor and less RAM, but surely you will be glad to have 6-hr battery life when you are studying/travelling/watching videos with no access to power source, and for having an option to keep your gadgets wirelessly connected.

Edit: Needless to say, Samsung are becoming increasingly popular in the laptop offering, with sleek designs and crisp displays.

Both are good laptops for the use you want them. I will also suggest you Samsung cause of the better price and the longer battery life.
