Go with the Dell, for a start it has a Core 2 Duo rather than a Core Duo. My friend just bought that laptop (with Vista Home Premium and 2Gb of RAM) and its very nice.
ok was about t6o pull trigger but my daughters birthday is on 2nd and they cant ship in time so I need one from a store that can do next day shipping - TODAY! eeekk.
