Well, the only real difference between those two is the processor. So, going by which processor is better, you should choose the first computer. The i3 will have the same number of cores, but will be hyperthreaded. Plus, it's clocked faster and has a bigger/better cache. The first choice is a better computer hands down.

When in doubt, go with the higher clock, bigger cache, and (most importantly) most recent chip-set. Also, maybe check which level the cache is. The i3 is level 3 and the Celeron is level 2.

One last note: All of the information on different processors from Intel is a quick Google search away and on their website. Enjoy your free knowledge.
