Which of these 2 laptops are best?

The first one (don't listen to those other answers about the hard drive, the first one has higher cpu clocks). By the way I recommend the customizing option for you. 160$ more and you can get a quad core i5 with the max speed of 3ghz. If you're gonna play games on it, you should get a better graphics card too (you won't be playing anything with that integrated gpu). You can gt 330 M just for 100$ more.
