Lenovo Y570 vs HP Pavilion dv6

Hello, I'm in quite a predicament. I'm torn between two laptops, and I need to know the pros and cons of each one, as well as which one has a better quality overall for the best price. The specs for the lenovo: Intel Core i7 2670QM(2.20GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory DDR3 1333 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD±R/RW NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M. The specs for the HP are: Intel Core i7 2670QM(2.20GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory DDR3 750GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi AMD Radeon HD 6770M. Please give a speedy response. Thanks!

Personally, I would go with the Lenovo. From my own experience, having had 3 thinkpads (two of which still work great (3rd one I traded so I can't answer for it)) and my current Lenovo, I feel the build quality is very good and the customer service is not bad. From research, HP's quality is not good and customer service sucks

Due to the class action lawsuit against HP regarding some of their DV6 laptops, Lenovo is the easy choice.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm just concerned about the supposedly loud fan noise and the cost of an SSD, because I found an HP laptop with a 160 GB SSD combined with the actual hard drive, for a pretty good price. Here it is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834158389

You will need to deal with loud fan noise when playing games. There is no away around it unless you want your laptop to overheat.
