Freshman Internship: Dell Technologies or Fidelity Investments?

Hey everyone, first time posting here but saw the necessity as I am confronted with a difficult choice. Little about me, I am a Freshman at a NESCAC and would ultimately like to work in IB.

My options: I can either intern with Dell Technologies 45 min from Boston or Fidelity Investments in their Boston HQ. At Dell, I would be doing Corporate Finance work where I would be building my own meaningful excel sort of project and then presenting to the executives at the office. At Fidelity, I would be working with the Wealth Advisor Solutions team, particularly with a director in building and improving upon their system. Both will develop my analytical side of finance and both will give me great exposure to senior staff.

Dell offers $22+/hr pay with free housing and a $750 stipend. I am not sure about Fidelity yet, but does anyone know the going rate for an intern there and whether or not they provide free housing?

So, which one would be better to get me into an IB internship summer 2021? Is one name more prestigious/impressive? Would Dell help me land in a tech group whereas Fidelity, FIG?

Please help a guy out, thanks everyone!
