I am looking for a laptop prised at about $700-$800 and saw these two laptops.I am wondering which one is better for what i am going to be using it for. I will be using it to watch youtube vids, check email, ect. I will also be using it to play moderate games such as mass effect 2, deus ex human revolution, skyrim. all will be single player. The newer titles can be run at lowest setting but older games such as oblivion, Mass effect 1, and borderlands would be run on high or medium. please help I have no idea which components are better so i can't compare them. one is DELL and one is HP here are the laptops.
