Need Help On Getting A New Laptop.

Hey,

 

First, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section, haven't really used the forum enough yet.

 

Second, I need your help.

 

I have to get a new laptop for university, but being a student I have a limited budget

(£350 - £400) 

 

I have found a few laptops for my budget but I want to have other peoples opinions on them. 

When I (hopefully) go to university, I want to study computer science which involves programming and group projects.

 

With the programming and the use of multiple OS', I also need a laptop that can handle all of my work and when I have free time, play the occasional game, (Portal 2, Minecraft) not to demanding of games.

 

Anyway enough rambling, here are the laptops I wish to have your opinions on.

I know you have a tight budget but I honestly think that this will trump all of the options available!

This is a great laptop, made by the trusted company ASUS, and will serve you well for years to come!

The Dell is slightly faster but Lenovo's build quality is far more superior then Dell's.

Out of the two, go for the Dell.

Thanks for all your help, I was just a bit unsure, again, thank you.
