Looking to buy a new laptop and wanted your thoughts...
I've been doing to comparison shopping and I think I've gotten myself down to two laptops. A customized Dell and a customized HP. The information and pricing came straight from their respective sites. The prices reflect a approximately 15% discount that I get from my company.
Just wondering what other may think of my contenders.
They both have pluses and minuses, but overall I'm leaning towards the HP. Probably because of the faster processor and faster HD.
