Can you suggest which one is better?
Usage - for university life (study accounting course) and minimum gaming (well, games at facebook)
others - I need good battery life that can survive for 4 years and easy to carry around. :wahoo::wahoo:
 
Solution
Best bet would to be to call them each up in their own window and compare specs....or if both are carrried by NEWEGG they have a compare option to look at items side by side
I'd go Asus, better display and graphics.....plus Dell has a tendency to make things proprietary...also have seen better support from Asus
 


actually, are there any different for this two? :??:
