I recently replaced an aged Dell with a cheaper Toshiba, a M70-DL4, which looks very much to be the same specs as your potential Toshiba without the video card, maybe a better screen.

I hate the screen. Sure, it's widescreen, and I've gotten used to the shinyness. But the max resolution that displays in intended widesceen resolution 1280x800. (The video card will run higher, but the screen itself won't.) I used to run my dell, from 2001, in 1600x1200. I didn't buy it to game, I've gotten used to the big chunky text, but if I had to do it again I'd research screen resolutions much more.
