Hello everyone!
I need your help.

I'm about to buy a laptop, and after some research I have the following models as candidates:

HP Pavilion dv6-3060ej
----------------------
CPU:Intel® Core™ i5-520M Processor 2.4GHz
Graphics card:ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650
Memory:6144MB DDR3
HDD:500GB SATA 7200RPM

Dell Studio 1558 i7-720QM
-------------------------
CPU:Intel® Core™ i7-720QM Processor 1.6GHz
Graphics card:ATI Radeon HD 5470
Memory:4096MB DDR3
HDD:500GB SATA 7200RPM

Now, what I need this laptop for:
Mostly I need it to program WPF applications under Visual Studio 2010. But I'm sure it will be more than enough for this task (Taking into account that it is not my primary developing computer).
I do love to play games from time to time. The games that I would love to play are: Fallout 3, Starcraft II, Diablo II, and games so on. I do want a laptop that would be able to run those games with average graphics settings at least and with decent FPS.

So now is the question: Which one of the two computers will be more suitable for my needs? (whey are pretty much the same price).
Also, if you have any other suggestions for laptops around the same budget I'll be glad to hear it.

Thanks a lot for the help!
Kind regards,
Danny
 
HP will be better for gaming as it would highly depends on graphic card. However, dell is a better brand on laptop.

Is Asus sold in your country?
 
ASUS N61JQ, it is $1000 - $1100 in US. But it would probably slightly expensive in your country.

GT335m actually perform similar as 5650.
If you don't mind 14" Asus K42JV worth to have a look.

Asus is a better brand then HP.

If your country sell Lenovo, have a look at Y560 with Mobility Radeon HD 5730. quality is just as worst as HP.
 
The ASUS N61JQ looks very nice, you right, it's just a bit higher than I wanted, But maybe I'll take it anyway cause it looks very nice.

That do you think is better brand, ASUS or DELL? (My girlfriend has dell laptop for 4 years already and it acts so good. But I haven't heard of ASUS laptops unfortunately)
