Both are priced at $850. I'm looking for a laptop that I can use for school and general things, like surfing, but I also wanna use it for light to medium gaming. Here are the specs:

I like how the ENVY comes with 4 USB 3.0 as opposed to only 1 on the IdeaPad. Although its not such a big issue. I also like how the ENVY looks IMO, and that it can switch between graphics to save battery. My biggest issue would be the screen size. Is 14 inch a bit too small? Which is the better choice here?
