Debating on which one I should get...thoughts? I'm leaning towards the Lenovo because of it's reputation (HP has a shitty reputation, and my dealing with them has been abysmal). But specwise, HP may have the lead in this case, especially since I can upgrade it to a 16 gig ram easy. Price is comparable.
