I can't decide between these two:-

Samsung NP350V5X-S01IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph) - Samsung: Flipkart.com

AND

HP Pavilion G6-2320TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 1GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

Which one would be better?

I was in the same dilemma and have gone for hp g6-2320 tx for these reasons:

1. Have got win8 with hp against the free DOS with the Sammy one.. Yea I cud install a pirated win8 but we all know win8 is in developing period so it keep on getting update so you'll not get much with a pirated version and even if this would not be the case I don't recommend pirated thing in any way.

2. 1TB hard disk with hp.

3. Dell would have been preferred over both but for same specs it would have cost me more.

4. Have read some bad reviews about Sammy after sales service.
