Well... between these two... it's only a matter of what operating system YOU want.
Gotta compare oranges with oranges. This is a choice between apples and oranges.

Didn't say that.
Each OS has it's + and -
What I tried to say was... you ask us which is better between two computers but they each have a different OS and can't really be compared, as you can't run an exact side-by-side test of performance because each OS is different and operates differently. Sure you can compare screen quality but if you base your purchase on screen quality alone regardless of the OS you wouldn't be asking this question in the first place.

Are you asking us which OS we prefer OR which of these two laptops has better specs?

Setting aside the OS for the moment, which has better specs and performance (speed/security/crashes) ?
