Should I get a Dell or an HP laptop? (I'll be a college freshman studying pre-law)?
The laptop I have is old and far beyond repair. My local computer expert has told me to start looking around for a new laptop as mine crashes often and everything is lost. He said either an HP or a Dell would be a great laptop for the purposes for which I need it (research, writing papers, skype, facebook, blogs).
Which is better: Dell or HP (and why)?
Thanks in advance!

DELL. OR. HP. I don't want another brand.. MacBooks are TOO expensive and not worth it for what I'm going into. I need something reliable and reasonably priced.

With dell you build your own on there site, and have unlimited options, or buy one that has already been configured. Hp, you can not build your own and can only buy ones that have already been configured. Having said that, hp has in general far more computers and are ofter cheaper, being the largest computer seller out there. Dell are also usually larger and are often louder. I own hp and prefer it over a dell for those reasons. You can ofter find hp for a much cheaper price that a dell with the same spec. It all depends on what computer you find and for what price. Regardless, they all use pretty much the same pieces, it just how they put them together. I would recommend this one as a decent priced computer with plenty of power to do some basic gaming and what else have you, and great battery life. I have the older version of this laptop. And love it. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+15.6%22+Pavilion+Laptop+-+4GB+Memory+-+640GB+Hard+Drive+-+Pewter/4672883.p?id=1218503713729&skuId=4672883
There are going to be a lot of good and bad experiences with both while I've had good with HP I"ve had bad with Dell it only lasted two years because the hardrive failed and now I'm using an HP. From my experience I think both are good it just depends on how you take care of the laptop and that nothing craps out on you. I recommend HP. Yes, Macbooks are too expensive and a lot of people can't afford them either. I have HP Pavilion dv6 it's a strong and powerful laptop so check it out if your getting HP
some faculties enable the two, some propose residing house windows. verify first. i elect to propose organisation fashions from any manufacturers. At companies, i've got seen usually Dell, then Lenovo. Macs do have viruses, trojans and malware, yet no longer as many as a working laptop or laptop. additionally, Mac run easily, extraordinarily by using fact shoppers frequently evaluate a $999 Mac with a $500 laptop, or, a $999 laptop packed with ineffective junk like toolbars, IMs, spyware, pointless animations, and so on. i'm extremely unproductive with laptops, until eventually I plug a mouse, keyboard, and a million or extra video exhibit contraptions. of direction, I consistently carry a low-value, tiny netbook if my telephone isn't adequate. (each and every thing is online now, as an occasion Google medical doctors).
I'v used both Dell and HP PC's before and what I can say is that Dell's are much better in terms of reliability and support (which is great!). I used to use Dell and I will continue to use Dell.
My prefrence is HP because it is smother to me and i have had both and my HP lasted more. I will go to college to be a computer technician and right now i know some stuff about computers. i recommend HP
