I've been using HP for years, including my first HP nc6000 in 2008, after which I upgraded to an HP ProBook 4340s in 2012, and then to an HP ProBook 4540s in 2013. (The nc6000 suffered the chip cracking failure, and I gave the 4340s to my wife.) All three of these HPs have been fairly bulletproof, but I'm looking to upgrade, but I'm not sure what to go with.
This Lenovo Z70 captured my attention, mostly because it has an anti-glare 17.3" monitor, while this HP ProBook 450 G1 has an anti-glare 15.6" monitor.
Regarding specifications, they both seem suitable for my job as a freelance writer, as they should be able to run a couple dozen windows without a problem, and they are both selling for $600, though I would likely add another 4 GB chip to the Lenovo, and I'd also be taking a 0.4 GHz cut in speed with the Lenovo (is that enough to make a difference?). I'm torn between my long history with HP and trying something new with Lenovo.
Suggestions?
