Which laptop should I buy of these two?

What I'll be doing will mostly be schoolwork, surfing the web, the usual everyday stuff, along with some gaming on the side (nothing huge though like gta - i'll be playing games like minecraft.)
I'm not exactly the smartest when it comes to comparing computers, so a little help on choosing the better one would be appreciated. Links (both to canadian staples website):

If the links do not work:
Toshiba Satellite (C850-0EK) Laptop, 15.6", 1.8 GHz Intel Celeron 1000M, 640GB HDD, 4GB RAM, Refurbished

ASUS (X502CA-SB91-WH) Laptop, 15.6", 1.80GHz Intel Pentium 2117U, 500GB GMA HDD, 4GB DDR3 RAM, English, White

If the links don't work and you can't find them online, I can provide the other info.

Yes, I agree from the previous answer. The Toshiba is clearly the winner here.

Niether if you plan on playing minecraft. It's a bit slow and the memory will be an issue with larger worlds I have some issues playing Minecraft on my old laptop (low frame rate and some memory issues even after allocating almost all my RAM to it) and it had a 2.7 Ghertz processor with 4GB RAM.

The first would be the best if you had to pick but if I may make a suggestion…

Used it's around the 300-400$ range and it could probably handle minecraft and other such games fairly easily.

Asus over Toshiba hands down, every day.

Toshiba is the 2nd lowest ranked windows laptop mfg. Asus is #2 behind Lenovo.

Both CPUs have nearly identical performance with the one in the Asus consuming half the power (17w compared to 35w).

Personally, I would get one of the Asus's but with an i3 processor instead (they come with i3's and i5's in addition to Celerons and the one in this machine).
