    All bad value for what they are TBH. The cheapest has an 80GB HDD was manufactured the guts of a decade ago and considering their age is probably worn out.

    They're not bargains at all, really. They're quite old and spec's aren't great. The Dell laptop is a far better all rounder - brand new, new parts, more ram, bigger hard drive, higher resolution screen, and a proper warranty....they're not a rip-off or anything but that's all they'd ever be worth at best, definitely not a bargain.

    Its not that straight forward.

    FYI the lowest/oldest CPU there is a P8400 which scores 1,471 vs 1,019 PassMark - CPU Mark for the atom/celeron in the dell. The extended battery in the Lenovo can give up to 10hrs battery life. It has a 3G slot, and 3 USB ports, and a DVD.
    Also ethernet, and probablty BT. Windows 7 vs 8. Its likely to have much better chassis and keyboard. Which if you type a lot is a big deal.

    Its a business workhorse and faster than the Dell. The Dell though is new, has warranty and will be supported longer. It also lighter but larger. Its a good cheap laptop. The Lenovo though is a used business class laptop. 14” Display v 15".

    Depends what are you looking for.
