Intel i3-8130u or i5-7200u for school?

I am looking for a budget laptop for school, and I saw two options for under $400. A Dell Inspriron, and a Lenovo - 330-15IKBR. The Lenovo has the i3-8130u, and the Dell has the i5-7200u. I would also like to know which is the more reliable brand. Dell, or Lenovo.

the CPUs are basically the same and I wouldn't worry about that in them you won't know the difference at all they are basically the same dual core chip with the same GPU on them it comes down to which laptop you like more and which one has more features you like at this point. 

personally I hate the off center trackpads and the Lenovo would be out because of that.

No brand is reliable, it depends on which model and some luck
