Well its hard to compare when one is a laptop. Both are good but you have to ask your self what do you want to do with it. If it is mainly for games them go for the Dell. If its mainly for work then get the laptop. Once you have made a decision on the one you prefer, look around and compare. I wouldn't buy a Dell as I would build my own.
