Specification and Performance

No doubt, Hewlett-Packard will be considered as a king if we concern about features and performance of a laptop. These laptops are designed keeping the fact in mind that it is an entertainment oriented device with lots of features. But, Dell laptops have still more to improve in many aspects to get its popularity. Except this there is no major difference in performance of these two brands.

Appearance and Hardware

The customer has a list of choices in Dell laptops because it provides specific models and designs. Dell laptops are available in different colors with eye catching impact, while HP laptops have fewer design choices and colors, with grey or black the only available color choices.

There is a noticeable difference between Dell and HP laptops. It is their appearance. Dell laptops seem to have a standard look while HP have a polished appearance. That’s why many people think that HP has more attractive laptops than Dell.

These days these laptops are available with latest and higher specification or configuration. Intel i3 i5,  i7 processor laptops which provide 500GB to 1TB hard disk capacity. The internal memory RAM can be ranged from 2GB to 6GB or more. These are the costlier laptops in comparison to  Core processor Laptops. When it comes to components there is not much difference since they are built by contractors. Their motherboards are produced by Mitac, Foxconn, ECS, Asus etc., and hard drives are produced by Seagate, Hitachi, Samsung, etc.

Customer Service & Warranty

It is the most important point to notice before buying a laptop is the customer service and warranty. Really, Dell is the winner in this case. Dell is very popular among their customers  for their excellent customer service and warranty options. Their website is also very user friendly.

HP also provides better services and support through its website but it is a little lesser in comparison to  Dell in this concern. Both the manufacturers provide accident coverage but Dell has more proven record.

Price

Price is the main factor if you go to purchase any such laptops. Basically, the price hikes according to its hardware specifications. Many people buy Dell and HP laptops rather than other brands. The price is certainly one of the biggest reasons for that. Dell has been able to sell their computers at a relatively low price in comparison to HP. They avoid selling through retailers and pass those savings to their customers. HP uses both methods to sell their laptops. Therefore their prices may be slightly higher than the same configurations of Dell. Dell computer starts with a range from Rs. 24000/-  to Rs. 65000/- or more depends on your hardware specification. The same configuration HP Laptops will have a little higher price.

Final Verdict

HP doesn’t have the standard gaming line-up that Dell has in the Alienware brand. Alienware may not be the only gaming system on the market, but the Alienware leads the gaming category.

Both Dell and HP have best laptops on the market. It’s difficult to take a good decision based on other factors. So if you are comfortable spending more to have a warranty option, consider a Dell laptop over HP, because of their excellent customer service.
