Thoughts on this build of a samsung series 7 for business and some gaming? I currently play RPG types, like guild wars 2.

Not a fan of the 1TB HD having a 5200 RPM, other builds (amazon) has a 750GB HD with 7200RPM

I'm now comparing to the Lenovo Y580...http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=457&Code=20994NU&category_id=AC523278A4F13F27A84F5F5622D1AC7A#.UJCWTsXA_HQ

Can anyone offer some advice to help decide between the lenovo or this new samsung?

Lenovo has much better graphics, better screen, better cpu, and a worse? hdd but has a boot drive.

I personally would go with 500GB 7200rpm hdd and save the $100. The samsung is a poor deal.

Sager's halloween special at 1200 is another option even better graphics but its more expensive.

At 1300 you could get a large heavy but powerful gaming rig the ibuypower.com halloween special.
