Update.....I ended up getting an HP from Best Buy, they had a good sale, and I didn't want a used one. I'm re-putting my passwords in (ugh). This has 8GB, so I'll grow into it, not out of it. This is Windows 10, so far notice no difference. They gave 6 months free security, and since I have an account at BB, I got either cash back, or no interest for a year. I'd rather spend a bit more, and have the warranty. By the way, I was told from both Office Max and Best buy there are many problems with Asus, and Office Max stopped carrying them, so beware.
My due diligence leads me to believe, both Dell and HP are equal.
Live consciously....
