Everything else being equal, i.e., operating systems, RAM, hard drive, etc. I'd go for the Dell. I used many of them both in my professional as well and personal life and have always been pleased not only with the hardware itself but the customer service as well.

Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition

ASUS G75VW-AH71 ASUS G75VW-AH71 (IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you compare specs, click the Windows 8 box on this page. It changes the specs a bit...like 8 GB memory instead of 16 GB for Windows 7. But I am going with Windows 8. And please don't get into a 7 vs. 8 debate here. I'm going with 8...period. )

Come on now...I'm ready to light the fuse! Which one is better?
