These machines are quite old but still capable of doing basic professional 3D works and some light gaming.

They should perform rather identically, given they have exactly same hardware specs. But it comes down to cooling performance, Dell has dual fan design while HP use single fan.

The BIOS for Dell machine hasn't been updated for some time, while HP just updated their legacy devices. Other drivers are maintained quite well for both system.

In terms of upgradeability, both machine has socket CPU, MXM graphic card, etc. that can be upgraded.

Generally for these similarly performing old machines, availability and price are main things to consider when you want to purchase them.
