Both are of the same specs. Processor is Core-i3 380& 390. HP gives 4Gb of Ram but Dell provides 2GB. Hard Disk is 500 with 5400 for both. HP is having HDMI but Dell is not. Rest of all the specs are the same for these two. Money wise also, not much difference.
 
The extra 2gb of RAM in the HP will allow for a little bit better performance over the Dell. The addition of HDMI is a plus too, but only if you plan on using it. Both Dell and HP are known for having quality issues (as are most OEMs). Just take your pick based on which you like more and in this case, the HP will be slightly faster.
