$500-$700 Gaming Laptop

Is there anything that you would like over anything else, eg AMD or Intel processor or screen size?

Here is what i found:

Lenovo IdeaPad P500 Touch $699.99
Intel Core 3rd gen i5 (2.6GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz)
15.6" display
6GB of ram, can go to 8gb
Intel HD Graphics 4000
1TD Hard drive
1x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0
Windows 8

Samsung ATIV Book 4 $699.99
Intel 3rd gen i7 (2.0GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz)
15.6" display
8GB of ram
Intel HD Graphics 4000
750GB Hard Drive
1x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0
Windows 8

I would personally go for the Samsung bc the Lenovo has a touch screen. The Samsung is also an entire pound lighter.
