Thoughts on this build of a samsung series 7 for business and some gaming? I currently play RPG types, like guild wars 2.

Not a fan of the 1TB HD having a 5200 RPM, other builds (amazon) has a 750GB HD with 7200RPM

I'm now comparing to the Lenovo Y580...http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=457&Code=20994NU&category_id=AC523278A4F13F27A84F5F5622D1AC7A#.UJCWTsXA_HQ

Can anyone offer some advice to help decide between the lenovo or this new samsung?

Check the 14" one with the GT650M and the i7.

You could also see if you can get something in the 15.4" chassis for under 1200 and it will be a far better deal.

Cheers!

Lenovo has much better graphics, better screen, better cpu, and a worse? hdd but has a boot drive.

I personally would go with 500GB 7200rpm hdd and save the $100. The samsung is a poor deal.

Sager's halloween special at 1200 is another option even better graphics but its more expensive.

At 1300 you could get a large heavy but powerful gaming rig the ibuypower.com halloween special.
