I'd have to vote Dell, because w/ all of their promotions, a good deal can be had. The key is to spend a couple of days looking at what you want and see what the current promotions & coupons are available. One day it might be a free burner, the other day it might be a free memory upgrade & another day it might be free shipping. My suggestion would be to pass on the memory deals and go for the burner upgrades and or the free shipping as lappy memory can be had for much less than Dell charges, I hope this helps
