Hey guys. I'm gunna be buyin a laptop very soon but not sure what I should buy. I have a pretty tight budget of 1200$ and have been doing lots of research the last couple of weeks and have decided on two laptop posiblities but not really even sure if these two are the best choices and if they are which would be the best of the two. I want to use it as a gaming laptopn but I know my budget will severly limit that. I would like to be able to have mid to low settings on newer games with playable frame rates.

I would buy the HP out of those two. I'm not a big fan of dell.
