Choice between Dell Inspiron 15 5000 vs Lenovo G50-80

Hi guys,

I am looking to buy a new laptop for everyday use, typically, browsing the web and programming... no gaming.

I have a choice between Dell Inspiron 15 5000...

or the Lenovo g50-80....

I'm looking at the i7 models

Dell comes in at £500 and the lenovo comes in at £470 with a coupon, so not much difference in price.

Does anyone here have any experience of either models? What model would you guys recommend?

Thank You!

For browsing the web, any will do. But for programming, both are not that good. I would recommend a laptop with a i5 - 4200m cpu as a minimum for programming. But this will depend on the type of programming you are doing and the level of complexity of the program.
