HP ProBook 4730s or Dell NB Inspiron N5110?

Question

I want to buy either one of these computers but I'm not sure which one I should pick.

I'll write the specs for each.

Dell NB Inspiron N5110: (costs 528 euros/ 699 dollars)

15.6 "WLED Display, 1366x768
Intel Core i3-2310M
6 GB DDR3 RAM
500 GB HDD
nVidia GeForce GT525M / 1 GB
LAN, Wi-Fi b / g / n, Bluetooth, HDMI, USB
DVDRW, Webcam
5 years warranty

HP ProBook 4730s: (costs 502 euros/ 664 dollars)

43,9 cm (17.3 ") diagonal LED-backlit HD + anti-glare
Intel ® Core ™ i5-2430M (2.40 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache)
4 GB DDR3 RAM
640 GB HDD
AMD Radeon HD 6490M / 1Gb GDDR5
LAN, Wi-Fi b / g / n, Bluetooth, HDMI
DVDRW, HD Webcam

These are the specs posted in the shop's website...

As you can see the Dell is more expensive than the HP one but it has an i3 core processor and less HDD space. (But the most important to me is the processor).

People say that Dell is more stable and will last me longer and that I should get that one but I'm not sure if that's true or if it's just the "name" that costs more, not quality... :/
I want to use this laptop for gaming (not hardcore) and also college (programming student). I also want it to last a couple of years or more... Which do you recommend?

Thanks in advance. I apologize for my bad English. :)

Answer 1

Dell NB Inspiron N5110 is better for games. Its gaming performance of the GT 525M is sufficient for medium detail settings in modern games like Battlefield Bad Company 2. Less demanding games should run in high detail settings.

Answer 2

HP customer support is sh*t. In the long run you'll be better off with the Dell.

I wouldn't worry too much about the processor and who wants a HD webcam in a laptop anyway?
