HP:
HP dv6-6180us Notebook
Intel Core i7 2670QM(2.20GHz)
15.6" 6GB Memory DDR3
750GB HDD 5400rpm
DVD Super Multi
AMD Radeon HD 6770M

These two laptops are virtually the same price but I am having trouble deciding which one to get. I plan to use for normal day operations and maybe some light gaming. Just looking at the specs, HP seems to be getting a better deal but I am unsure of how reliable each company is. I have read that HP does not have a very good cooling system where ASUS provides one that works great. What are your opinions? Which is more durable? Which one will last longer?

Usuage: Main usage is day to day college student work and also a little bit of gaming. That's why I want to get a laptop with an actual dedicated graphics card. I don't plan on playing anything on ultra settings just medium-ish settings.

I've had numerous ASUS laptops fail on me, due to a hardware error, but never once has a HP product failed me. I'd go with the HP laptop.

ASUS brother, worked in leading edge as a service tech for long enough to figure out that HP is junk. Even though I strongly prefer AMD over Nvidia, ASUS is the winner IMO
