I am looking at the HP 15-ac121 dx http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i3-6gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-black/4221600.p?id=1219708598794&skuId=4221600
or the Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (3541-5001) http://www.staples.com/Dell-I3043-1252BLK-AMD-A6-8GB-1TB-Windows-81-156-Touch-screen/product_1387728

Both are touch screen. Both have dvd/cd drive. HP has 6gb ram (supposedly upgradeable to 16GB...cannot get a clear answer on this.) 1TB Hard drive, Intel i3-5010U. Dell has 8gb ram (not upgradeable) 1 TB hard drive, AMD A6-6310, and bluetooth. Can get either one right now for $399 The dell is in a local store for that price. I plan to use for home use, internet browsing, video watching, etc. Thank you.

If you can get both for the same price, then I would get the HP because the i3-5010u is a more powerful CPU and has a better integrated graphics core. Therefore, it should last longer before you feel the laptop is becoming slow.
