Which laptop to buy?

Toshiba Satellite 15.6 inch, Intel Core i5-2450M 2.5/3.1GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium, USB 3.0 (£400)

Acer Aspire 5733 15.6 Intel Core i3-370M Processor, RAM 6GB, HDD 640GB, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (£360)

My three old laptop is about to die, so shopping around for a new one. My budget is £ 400 or less. The above two match my budget but not sure their capability. Which one would you buy?

All I want is a simple laptop with faster connection and enough RAM and storage. My current one is getting slow despite I have only used one third of 2.3GB hard drive space available. If I leave my laptop unused for about ten minutes, it takes a while to flick through the browse, it sometimes faster to turn it off and back.

Any comment would be much appreciated!
