overall id pick the dell. When you mean multimedia do you mean watching videos/skype or editing

Mainly connecting the laptop to an LCD and watching HD movies.
Why dis you choose the Dell one if the lenovo has better hardware?

dekol :

mainly because the dell has an ssd while the lenovo has a hybrid drive. Having an ssd is well worth it (faster boot and load times on applications, less freezes/crashing, better at multitasking, increase in battery life by 10-15% average, etc). I hope 128GB will be enough for you though.

So SSD is better than a better cpu?
What about build quality? Are both of the models same quality?
Thanks

Sorry this is so late - there are unanswered questions and it may help someone as this responds to a google search. In general, you would decide for the better processor vs. better hard drive at the same price point in this situation. Why? Because it's really easy to upgrade a hard drive later and while you can upgrade a CPU in a laptop, it's rarely done because of the labor to do it.

Regarding build quality, you have consumer and business class laptops - Lenovo creates only business class laptops and Latitude is Dell's brand for their business class laptop. What do you get with a biz class vs. consumer class? Longer product lifecycle for better replacement parts availability AND better build strength to withstand drops better, including better shock protection and features like a free-fall sensor that stops Hard Disk Drives spinning when the laptop thinks it's falling to the ground. The read head digging into a spinning disc is not good when you have a presentation your business is relying on in 5 minutes
