Which laptop of the two would be best?

[dan]

I would say none of them. The best laptop deal with even better specs than these laptops and even cheaper right now is Acer V3 which got Core i5 processor and 1GB dedicated graphics which is best for running any latest software or play current games with 30+ FPS, priced at just $549.
