which of these 2 laptops is the better choice?

Question

ok first off
thank you for at least clicking
1 of the big reason i wanted to get a laptop is the portability
and then i wanted to play this game called Ragnarok Online
IDC if laptops arent for gaming 

but yeah the specs of the game are as follows

Recommened Requirements 
OS Windows 98se/me/2000/XP 
CPU Pentium - 700 MHz or higher
(Athlon CPU, Celeron) 
RAM 256 MB or higher 
VGA , Video Card DirectX compatible video card with 32MB video memory, Transform & Lighting, DirectX 8.0 or higher 
SOUND Sound Card DirectX compatible sound card / 3D Surround Sound Support 
Other Other 2.2GB or higher Hard Drive space 


now im pretty "sure" these 2 laptops can run it (im not sure thats why i ask you people)

PLEASE tell me if 1 of those 2 CANT run that game i said earlier

now im a 17 years old HS student so MS oFFICE IS A BIG DEAL FOR ME
Best Buy review said Toshiba is the better choice
but my dad said Toshiba is a bad brand and CNET reviews said DELL is better

so overall which one is better for me???

THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE HELP

i dont think either unless you upgrade to windows 7 professional because the game does not say that it supports 7. i would find one with a better processor. going cheap means they wont last and they will be replaced.

The 2 laptops are pretty similar except the toshiba has more ram and HD space. more ram usually means you can have more stuff running at the same time without it having to go to the hard drive to get more files
Dell is probably a more popular brand and runs mostly dell hardware
Toshiba probably used more generic hardware
Can you put more RAM (memory) in the Dell? if so, it would probably be a better choice

both will run it. the toshiba has better specs and lower price, so there you go.
consider buying this toshiba though
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834114930&cm_re=toshiba_satellite-_-34-114-930-_-Product
it has the same amount of memory and is the same price. However, it has MUCH better graphics and a dual core processor, which means its almost twice as fast as the other toshiba one.

I think that first one is better than second one.
