1. The basic difference between the two is the ram, HP has 2 gb while DELL has 4 gb and as you told that you are going to run some softwares like VB etc, then here dell wins.
2. All the parts are covered in DELL warranty as it is a "complete cover" warranty. The only thing why dell would not replace your speakers is if you use VLC media player on volume beyond 100%. so watch for it.
3. If you want or would want to overclock your processor later, then you wont be able to do so on the DELL because of the HM75 chip it uses, while on the HP model, it is possible because of the HM76 chip it uses.

Considering heating issues, all of the laptops heats up pretty quickly. Moreover, the cheaper it is, the more it heats. So both are going to heat, so there is nothing to compare on this ground.

SO go for HP if you want to overclock later, otherwise go for dell and it is cheap too.
