which of these two would you choose and why?

Any specific reason you are choosing between these two models?

Their specs are completely different from one-another. Do you have a brand preference?

I have not heard anything good about HP laptops lately.

cuz my friend is anti-Dell...=)

[lor74]

Dell
Toshiba
Fujitsu
HP/Compaq
Gateway
Acer
Lenovo
Other...

Plenty of choice...but the two that you have shown aren't even comparable:

Differrent processor, screen size, memory, os, etc...

You would be better off asking for help getting the best system for whatever your budget is....with clear specifications as to what you want and/or don't want.
