Samsung or Toshiba?

Hey, hope this is the right place to ask. Trying to decide between 2 laptops in my price range. It's for general use and occassional light gaming. I know they are both pretty low end but was hoping for some help deciding. One thing I am I am wondering about is the CPU difference. I know the Samsung has 4 cores and the Toshiba has 2 cores. Does the 1.5 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache of the Samsung make a big difference compared to the 2.13GHz, L3 Cache 3MB of the Toshiba? Thanks!

I also prefer the look of the Samsung but I wanted to know if there is a major hardware difference between the two.
