Both are expensive for your requirements. You could get a lot more laptop for a lot less money, e.g.

Half the price of the Dell, so you could buy one now put the rest of the money in the bank and then buy another new laptop in a couple of years time.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?0 -
Too expensive from dell.
Which Z500 are looking at?
If it is this one

it worth the money.
If you want dell, check out their business laptop with 3 year warranty. I remember they have 4th gen i3/i5 laptop ~£400.0 -
How about a tablet instead? Better battery life and simple enough if all you need to do is shop and browse.0

Hi,
I've seen you recommending that laptop in several threads, so am assuming its a particularly good deal?
I had planned to buy one in the January sales, but is this too good a deal to get any better after Christmas..?
Hope you will find the time to reply!
Thanks a lotI don't think I can hang on til Friday...0
