That hp is fine, it's better than the celeron cpu in that dell. The HP Laptop you posted has a quad core (4 cores) for better multitasking and the gpu is vastly superior. In this price range all laptops are made with plastic.

From me n my boys experience, STAY AWAY FROM HP.

My cuzzo literally bought 2 HP's and a total of around 4 adapters/plugs in a 2/3 year span.

Next on the list for shytty quality is Dell.

We both bought Sony's around the same time and they're much better (but they are more expensive and the amount of bloatware on it is ridiculous)

He's moved on to an Macbook now and I'm on my second Sony, simply because my moms wanted a laptop n I was feeling like an upgrade.

For what you're looking to do though (school and internet) you're budget is about right, but the way computers are advancing this days, a 4GB/500GB laptop with those HP specs is basically out of date the day you buy it.

Its nice but this is a better deal in my opinion for your uses:

Newegg.com - ASUS K55N-DS81 Notebook AMD A8-4500M A8-4500M(1.90GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory 500GB HDD 5400rpm DL DVD+-RW/CD-RW AMD Radeon HD 7640G

$399.99 free shipping no tax for most people.

Quad core cpu, 4GB Memory, 500GB HDD, AMD Radeon HD 7640G way better then Intel 4000 gpu can do light gaming with ease.

500GB is plenty for your uses. 4GB is is also plenty but if you want to add another 4GB for a a total of 8GB add this for $26.99 free shipping:

Team Elite Model TSD34096M1333C9-E Laptop Memory - Newegg.com
