Acer Aspire 4736z vs Dell Inspiron 14

[atre]

Which is a better buy. I just got into college and i need a budget laptop with a 14 inch screen. My budget is around 35000K INR or 630 USD

I've zeroed in on the Acer Aspire 4736z and the Dell Inspiron 14

Here are the specs for the laptops:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Acer Aspire 4736z PRICE : 30,000 INR

CPU: Intel Pentium mobile processor T4300 (1 MB L2 cache, 2.16 GHz)
with Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chip set
RAM: 2 GB DDR3

HDD: 320 GB SATA

Graphics : Intel GMA 4500M

OS : Vista Home Premium, webcam


Dell Inspiron 14 PRICE : 32,500 INR

CPU: Intel T4200 (2GHz/800 FSB/1MB Cache)

RAM: 2 GB DDR2

HDD: 250GB SATA

Graphics: Intel GMA X4500HD

OS : Vista Home Premium, 1.3 mpx Webcam etc

----------------------------------------------------

Both have almost similar specs except that the Acer has some Dolby optimized speakers which i thought were better sounding than the dell. Also, the acer has multimedia keys. However Dell has better battery life and is the more credible sounding brand. I am confused as to what to choose. Please Help.

I would go for the Dell Inspiron 14
Its design is better than the Acer 4736z
