For college, coding, occasional gaming, movies, videos and internet. Will TRY and run OS X on it. Which one would you consider better? Is there a reason to consider the Envy with lesser specs and higher price over the Pavilion with higher specs and cheaper price other than design? Please let me know. Thanks a lot!
