Without knowing your specific uses for a laptop, the first thing I'd do is choose one with a 1080p display.

Hi, thanks for the quick response! So I would be using it for basically everything researching on the web (multiple tabs open) email,youtube,videos, movies, not so much games and yeah all around use nothing too specific. Mainly wondering which one is better over the other. I can get the 3543 model for about $150 cheaper but the specs between the 2 are putting me in a bind, how much better is one over the other?
