Hi guys,

Deciding between the Dell Inspiron and the HP Pavilion ba115tu which I can get for $1070 through a corporate discount with a $100 gift card that I can use to purchase an active pen. The new Inspiron models are pen compatible too.

Does anyone have any feedback on which choice would be better? Only difference is Dell might be slightly cheaper even after purchasing the pen, but Pavilion is slightly bigger and has a pcie ssd. Dell also don't stock the compatible pen(PN338M) on their AU store, so getting the pen might be a bit tedious.

Unsure about which has the better active pen functionality and overall build quality/reliability. Have been told by a Microsoft rep that dell had smoother pen function.

      have never liked either of the 2 brands for personal use, however i do feel dell and hp are a great option for business due to their half decent support.

        What did you dislike about them? Either one more than the other?
