already decided between LG OP1 and Dell xcd35 but would want to have a last opinion from the experts

the main diff. was resolution and RAM but now LG also have 512 RAM [letsbuy] so its just resolution or some thing else which dell offer more

will buy from letsbuy so a diff. of 500rs between them

please give final word
