Which laptop would you like better?

I recently bought a HP laptop, but I spotted a nice Dell Inspiron laptop and I'm thinking about getting a refund of my HP to get a Dell, but I'm not sure.

Please check them and see what you think:

Dell Inspiron 1525
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5450 (1,66GHz/2Mo cache/667Mhz bus frontal)
Windows Vista® Edition Home Premium
Memory SDRAM DDR2 667MHz 2 Go, 2 DIMMs
HDD SATA 160Go 5400 rpm
Intel GMA X3100
(Anti-Glare Screen)
Price: $799.99

HP Pavilion dv6705ca
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 TK-57 (1,9 GHz, 512 Ko cache)
Windows Vista® Edition Home Premium
Memory SDRAM DDR2 667MHz 2 Go, 2 DIMMs
HDD SATA 160Go 5400 rpm
Geforce 7150M
(Glossy Screen)
Price: $819.99

Both of them have the same RAM, HDD and OS. However, I think Dell's CPU is a bit better and less battery-consuming. Also, I think I prefer Anti-Glare. Also, the HP graphic card is a lot better for games like HL2.

They are both really good-looking, so I'm hesitating.

If you have any comment please tell. If you need pictures of them I will gladly post some too.

Edit: I could have a 250Gb HDD and 3Gb RAM for the Dell Inspiron 1525 for $899.99 total

The dell. Dell gives you less bloatware. Also the Core 2 is better than the AMD.

If the HP had a better processor I would go with it.

Now the Dell Inspiron 1525 I'm thinking about getting is $749.99 and includes a wireless mouse. I really think I'm going to get that instead of the HP.

I'm not so sure if the Intel GMA X3100 is better than the GeForce 7150M though.

I would say that the games I'm planning to play that are demanding the most are probably Half-Life 2 and Heroes V... Maybe AOE3 but I can always stay with AOE2 which is some hardcore oldschool.

I accidentally voted for the Dell Inspiron when I really wanted to vote for the HP Pavilion. I would go with the HP Pavilion because I bought one last Monday and it has been running very smoothly. Although I haven't tried using a Dell Inspiron, I can tell you that you won't be dissatisfied with the HP laptop.

I think I made the poll so you can change your mind. =)

Thanks for the info.

I'm still hesitating, as the Dell is cheaper and has a better CPU.

Also, Dell having a worse gfx card can be helpful as it will force me to use it as a tool instead of as a way to waste my time at school

The Dell.
1: the commericals get me
2: the 2 core duo (always wanted one of those!)
3: cheaper (I don't go by price but it's a bonus in this situation)
4: it's a DELL!

so yeah the core duo and the price would have it sold to me.
hope this helps!

I have a HP laptop and it's not giving me any troubles. I would go with the HP but it's you laptop, you decide.
