I prefer only the HP.The reason is their better online customer support and no one seems provide such support in the market of laptops.Most of the problems with the laptops are arising due to the inappropriate driver installations only.We can get the exact drivers from them for our unique product number from them if we contact them. Also most of the models are much compact when compared to the dell.But some models of the HP laptops are producing much heat and in case of Dell, the heat generated is less.
But buying the computers entirely depends on the software applications that we are going to install and work with, our needs etc.,These are the facts which choose the configuration of the laptops.All the configuration are available in all of the brands.

i reality i think is difficult in general tell you yes this brand is better than other...i think that both are good brand for laptop and computer in general..so in many cass it depends from models and even what you expect from your new laptop as well!!
I think dell-hp as regards hardware normally is good and even prices they can be considered almost equal!!In many cases dell give you more opportunity to configure and personalize your pc more than hp..but on the contrary you can't se it,from dell,before you decide to buy and so this can be a limitation ..hp normally you can also see in some stores and so you can understand better especially as regards measures and weight too!!
So in reality i used in the past both brands and in many cass they are good pc without many problems..so i think that you can start to check the model and features more thn brands because in this cas probably they are equal!!

HP! I've had 3 Hp laptops, A HP desktop for the kids, and never had a problem, I have 3 hp printers and a camera. They all are excellent! I worked for a company and they supplied us with Dells and we had a lot of problems with them! I wouldn't take a dell if it was free! tdemex

In my experience, HP are better. Don't ask me why. I never had a Dell one, but I've used one sometimes, and I think HP is better.
