which one is better

Where do you see a 40% off code for that system?

[zvi]

you had to call up 18776967786 and order it over the phone

but my question what one should i keep

[ChAiM'l]

which one is better

I definitely like the Core i3 and DDR3 (although only 2GB, you could wait for a good offer on another 2/4GB RAM), question is, is HD on the first 5400 or 7200, also what is the graphics card like?

i was reading review on both vostro and studio
some of the reviews said that the vostro has bud screen resolution 
and the studio have bad speakers
anyone who use any one of these that could give me a  report with the pros and cons
