So yes I have posted a few questions pertaining to my laptop search, but now I have finally narrowed it down to two! :)The two I have narrowed it down to are:1) The Dell Inspiron 15R- http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx//... 2) Dell Studio 1558- http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetail...Which would be best for a college freshman? Thanks! :). Created by AngelaMae. computers-internet-en - hardware-en - laptops-notebooks-en

Having just finished my own freshman year, Id go with option 2, the Studio 1558. Its a powerhouse of a laptop. With the other one, if i had it, id be wishing for a desktop at times, for media and definitely games. Whereas with the 1558, you can do almost anything on it, with 9 hours of battery life as well.I hope my advice comes in handy.
