My brother is planning to buy a laptop and he is indecisive whether to go to the Asus K52JR-SX098V with a Core-i5-540M 2.53GHz, ddr3-4GB, 320Gb and an HD5470/1GB/1792M*

or

to the Dell Inspiron 15R, with a Core i7-740QM 1.73 GHz, 4GB ddr3, an HD 5650 and a 750GB HDD.

I know that the Dell has much better specs and has a student offer on it so they go for the same price.

the problem is that after me and my bro went to see them at the store the dell laptop seemed to be of inferior quality than what felt a much more solid Asus laptop. He also found some bad reviews on the Dell!

So what do you ppl think he should opt for? the higher speced but inferior quality Dell of the sturdy and lower speced Asus? the laptop is for every day use and use of CAD and some engineering software like matlab.
 
Sorry mate i dont have any related answer but i am just wondering how to find the dell student pricing, i cant see it on the website?
 
Depends how cheap the Dell is, and what he plans to do with it (move it around, or sit in on a desk). The Dell seems to have great specs though.

Another manufacturer that does student discounts is HP. Look up the DV6.
