I dont understand how the Dells spec is so much cheaper.

I want an ultimate laptop, that doesnt over heat. Has 2Ghz Processor, 2gig Ram as the dells but also has 4 USB Ports and a great grahphics card?

Should the Dell be the one im looking for or is there better specs for upto £700?
I don't want it weighing too much and the design must be nice and slim.
