Answer:
The only thing that would make me look at that particular HP, would be if I was a girl & I wanted a portable 14.1" laptop. Though if you really like the smaller screen, get the Dell Alienware M14X instead. click here to customize: http://www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-m14x/fs But honestly, performance wise, there is no comparison. The DELL XPS is the winner. For the processor, you get the 2nd Gen Core i-7 (a quad-core compared to the dual-core of the HP). You also get a Class 2 NVIDIA dedicated graphics card (for gaming) unlike the integrated free graphics on the HP. click here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-525M.43889.0.html Just remember these: The 1st thing you should look for on the computer surface is A LOGO STICKER for NVIDIA or ATI MOBILITY RADEON just below the keyboard. This SHOWS that the laptop has A DEDICATED GRAPHICS CARD (for AutoCAD & Adobe Photoshop). Diablo III, the game I would love most to play runs on 3D graphics & is rumored to need at least 1GB GRAPHICS MEMORY (lower graphics memory = CHEAPER laptop price), so always check the system requirement specs on the game's box (ex. SIMS 3; see if your laptop meets all the requirements). For gamers, make sure the GRAPHICS CARD on the laptop IS ONLY from the HIGH END or MIDRANGE: click the link: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html If you're looking for an affordable, not so big, yet best in performance gaming laptop? LOOK NO FURTHER. Like me, get the MSI GT680R 15.6"-full HD GAMING NOTEBOOK which comes with the 2nd Generation Core i7 Processor 2630QM, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB Hard Disk Drive (2 x 500GB 7200rpm SATA HDD) & a powerful Class 1, 1.5GB NVIDIA GTX460M DDR5 dedicated graphics card that can handle DirectX 11 enhancing the 3D detail effects from FRYS.com (SKU#: 6547393). I got the chance to use the laptop first hand at the FRYS store. I came back to check out the laptop every hour for 6 hrs & found out that the air from the vent of the laptop remained cool compared to any other laptops on display there, meaning this laptop has proper heat management, that means this laptop can handle long hours of gruelling play. Now, I'm all stewed up saving to buy this b4 Blizzard releases Diablo 3. The MSI GT680R 15.6" Gaming Notebook w/ the Intel® Core™ i-7 retails for $1,499.99 (+ tax & other sur-charges; www.FRYS.com). I chose to pay more to have the newest technology so that I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT GETTING OUTDATED WITHIN THE NEXT 11 YRS. click here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152239 Playing for long hours? Get a COOLER MASTER U2 Notebook Cooler w/c has dual purposes. Cool thing about it is, you can position the fans on the right spot for better ventialation. When travelling, detach the easily detacheable dual fan, then use the aluminum frame as a protection for your laptop's screen when inside the bag. I got mine from MicroCenter.com for $15, 48% cheaper than the regular $25 tag (FRYS.com SKU#: 6344931). watch the video: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834997730 If you're a lil' bit low on budget, get the next best thing. The msi GE620-021 15.6" Gaming Notebook also features a 2nd Generation Intel Core i7 Processor 2630QM & 8GB DDR3 RAM, just 640GB HDD, but only a Class 2, 1GB NVIDIA GT540M dedicated graphics card that can also handle DirectX 11 effects from FRYS.com (SKU#: 6539123). The ASUS N53SV-XR1 is $150 cheaper, but comes w/ ONLY 4GB of memory. click here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152258

I'm not even gonna look at the specs. Why? because My friend bought an Alienware, which is made by Dell and is almost a SuperDell. That Alienware was $2,000, the hinge for the laptop screen was broken and broke on first use. I was with my friend when that happend, and let me tell you, when we called Dell, they thought we were lying, and thought we wanted something out of them. He paid $2,000 for a nonfunctional computer. What's the point of that. I also know others that had a very bad time with them. Their older computer are better than their new and for HP, their newer ones are better than their older. I have to admit, I like HP, had a great time, had great everything. But then theres always mac which is a different story. I say, why have a computer if it's not gonna work? get something dependable, and can actually get use out of. I loved HP. I loved Asus. I love Apple. I hate Dell. Sorry Dell, even though I own a desktop. Good thing I have 2 other computers. Go HP for this.

if you need Portability get the HP (14" i5) if you need it for entertainment/amusement go for the Dell (15.6" i7) additional: I personally will not buy any of those due reliability, check the results for major brand http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2384243,00.asp take an eye on the Toshiba R700 (portable) and X500 (entertainment) good luck.
