Hello guys,
i have been looking at 2 laptops and i need to decide by tomorrow, here are my choices:

The dell has USB 3.0 but the Lenovo doesn't.

Please give me your honest opinion between the two. i really appreciate any help.
thanks in advance.
:)
P.S. i will be a computer science major in college. 😀
 

so the USB 3.0 isnt a big factor?
 

It's a code name for AMD Trinity laptops that will come out anytime from now. The A10 was reviewed on all major tech websites.
 

I've never been an AMD fan, so id like to stay with Intel
