HP or Dell?

my dad had given me greenlight to purchase a new laptop... yay!!
the reason of me changing laptop is because my laptop's screen seriously -___- too many lines... to change the screen i heard that it cost about RM1,000 - RM2,000 plus.. erm..no point right? is better to purchase a new laptop...

but now the problem...which is better? HP / Dell?? I prefer these two but I don't know which is better..

Any suggestions?
