A laptop’s specs are more important than the brand 

When searching for your next laptop, it’s more important to compare laptops by specs rather than by brand. Figure out how powerful your processor needs to be, whether you want a discrete GPU for a better gaming experience, how much RAM and storage you need, and whether you want a top-tier, vivid display or the standard option.

You can customize your desired processor, amount of RAM and storage, display specs, and more through both Dell and HP, but there are typically more customization options through Dell.
