I decided to buy the Lenovo Y50 as a gaming/school laptop and I found tow models and not sure which one to pick.

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834317915&cm_re=Lenovo_Y50-_-34-317-915-_-Product
or
http://www.ncix.com/detail/lenovo-y50-notebook-i7-4710hq-8g-5c-99783.htm

The Newegg model comes with a 4710hq and the ncix one says that it has a 4710hq as well but the specs say its a 4700hq. Now the Lenovo site sells the models with the 4710hq but its a touch screen and ships in 3 weeks so I dont want to buy from there.

So essentially what im asking is should i get the 4710hq model or the 4700hq one?
I looked at this page:
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-4700HQ-vs-Intel-4710HQ

There isnt much of a difference but the 4710hq is missing a lot of features that the 4700hq has.

4710 is just a newer this year refresh on the 4700. I believe it added a new instruction set, but on that note the 4700 added a bunch of new instruction sets and none are even being used/implemented on anyways. I think there might be a 100mhz difference, but that is more than easily made up for with overclocking.

I'd just set aside the 4700/4710 differences, and choose the laptop that fits you better based on other aspects.
