I'm looking at two laptops at the moment. The first is the lenovo z710 which I'm leaning towards..

But my computer tech friend recommended the ASUS x750JB-dh71-ca

Right now It will mainly be for gaming, downloading tons of music, and social networking. It will be used for school some time in the near future. Today I will be going to see the lenovo in person, because I am concerned with the weight.

Disregarding price, which do you believe would suit me best?
(I can find both computers locally in the $800 range, so price does not affect my decision)

My main concerns are space, speed, and social networking. i need to be able to run youtube and Facebook at the same time I'm downloading music and charging my cell and iPod. I need to be able to run microsoft office applications and games like call of duty. I know this Is a lot to ask of a laptop but which of these would do it best? which would be fastest? The most portable? The most reliable?

Thank you so much for your advice!!!!!
