I don't do any gaming what so ever, I just need a laptop to take to work to maybe edit some videos while I have free time. There are these two models:

and
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-y700-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-black/4474900.p?id=1219751154856&skuId=4474900
I was trying to keep the budget below $1400 with laptop and geeksquad being bought together. I would just be doing Adobe Creative Suite on a machine.
My question is why do AMD have such a bad rap? I mean I can get a used Y700 for about $650 with warranty a lot cheaper than anything with Intel on it. I understand that you get what you pay for, but with the other machine having an i7 is this a no brainer when trying to compare them or would the AMD work fine. I don't do any kind of 4k video, but would like to do After Effects when using the laptop.
Could someone break it down about which machine over time would help me get the most out of my money or are their other options within that price range from Best Buy? Like I said I don't do any kind of gaming, this would be solely for web and video editing.
One more thing, is it possible to upgrade these machines to have a 500 GB or 1 TB ssd?
