Hp Elitebook or Thinkpad - Which one to buy?

I've used the older Lenovo T420s and older and also the HP 8470p, going by how the old T series are, it's really a toss up as to what you pick. I have read that the new T series are not as good as the old ones though.

The specs between them are just about identical. You can make your sedition on which color you like better basically in this case.
