So I live in the Netherlands, and can choise between these two laptops.
The Asus is 600 (normally 750, but they're dumping the W7 laptops, the lowest price I can get it for is 600, while elsewhere still costing 750)
Here is the spec list:
Asus N56DP-S3007V - Specificaties - Tweakers
Sorry I had to rip it straight from a Dutch website, but the ASUS website doesn't mention this exact model.
The Dell normally costs 700, but with coupons I can get it for 650 and free delivery.
Spec list:
Dell Inspiron 15R SE (n0015s05nlnl) - Specificaties - Tweakers
From the Dell website:
Dell Official Site - The Power To Do More | Dell
Of course I'am open to suggestions.
