atleast give the exact model names and you main purpose/ use of the laptop.
For LONG running... as per my experience, both are equally same, and its not very good. If you buy accidental warranty from dell, you are better covered. And i think Dell service is a little bit better than HP. So, u can go with Dell. :)

Either get HP dv6 6165tx which does not have FHD and backlit keyboard or extend your budget and get Asus N55SL.
