In my opinion, they are both low end brands, but Toshiba is hugely sub-par in my opinion. Older chipsets, subpar parts (look at that 5400 rpm drive..wtf), and I've never encountered a line of "professional" laptops that out of the box required BIOS updates to be even baseline stable with the OS they shipped with, the way I suffered with Toshiba in the last two years.
I don't love Dell, but even their Vostro stuff seems fairly decent if you are into plastic laptops (couldn't resist the Mac dig, sorry), and I've had far fewer problems with the Dell's I've rolled out to clients than anything Toshiba made.
