Extremely Closely Specced laptops - Stumped, which should I choose?

[Taze]

So i'm going away to study soon but i'm quite an avid PC gamer and don't think i could last long without at least some games.

I've narrowed my choices down to these two specific laptops as I can get large discounts on either of them due to working for the company.

We really can't decide which one to choose. Can you guys help?

I would say that the z70 is better as it is larger which should help with the cooling.
