Can't Decide on Laptop

Hello, everyone! Good to be back!

 I am looking at a laptop for college that I will use for mainly word, excel, photoshop, web design, and some blender occasionally.  I have it between two laptops and I am having trouble choosing so I came here for help :)

Here they are

The Toshiba has two more Gb of RAM 8 vs 6. However, the Samsung wins on the processor.

Any insight is appreciated, Thank You!

You want to carry it around?

Look for weight, size and power duration.

Make sure it’s got a good warrantee. You wouldn’t believe it when your laptop crashes, and it will seem the world has ended. But with a warrantee, at least you have that much assurance.

I’d leave blender at home for the desktop as it will be rough on the processing and then choose the lightest laptop with the longest battery life.

Thanks for the input! I went with the Samsung because it was lighter and a slightly better warranty!
