Well i really want a touch screen laptop, i have been looking at these two, and i know neither has an internal optical drive. and that The HP last about 6 hours, and Dell about 4. With all the configurations i wanted, the Dell is 1200, and the HP is 1600 (roughly) ….but a few hundred dollars isn’t the issue for me. i just want to know which is better quality. here are the selected configuration for these two.

Alright so those are the specs, the Dell comes with a Audio Dock, accessories and even a printer for a cheaper price! But i have never bought dell and my previous Laptop was a HP DV6000 if im not mistaken, i was happy with it until it got stolen :( ANYWAYS now im looking at these and would like to know what you think, and if you have either one of these and or recommend something similar to them. Please HELP! I am a college student, love my netflix, some online gaming, and of course cant live without the pictures, videos and music! Also if you do have one of these please tell me why i should buy or not!
Also please do not recommend iPad, or Galaxy Tab, or anything like that does not come with keyboard, not interested :)
