Are Theese Good Laptop Models And Specs For The Prices? Which One Is Best For Me?

Which one is better priced as far as performance, build & support? For some reason I kinda want the HP because we’ve always had HP and all of ‘em work great! I like the looks of the HP and it has better speakers and It’s probably more durable, or it seemed when I compared them at the store.
I want it for a couple games like the sims 3 and basic internet use.
