I need some suggestion on which laptop suits me the most.

1. Brand. ----- Either Toshiba or Dell
2. Budget. ------ 2.5k -3.5k
3. Specs. -------- i am not very sure so i need some advice on the specs that will be adequate for user like me. Mainly use for assignments and also downloading series, watching series. Frankly i download a lot
4. Size. --- Preferably 14 to 15 will be fine

1. brand:Considering between Toshiba and Dell
2. budget: rm3-3.5k
3. specs: at least 2gb ram, good grafic card
4. Size: 14-15 inch

I am actually considering between toshiba Satellite M300 and Dell Studio 15.
I would like to know of which of those 2 are better for my usage as i mainly use it for surfing the net and watching series. Is it true that in order to watch a series better, a better graphic card is required?
