HP Vs Lenovo!

Solution
Yes , avoid refurb ! the HP would be far faster in games but refurb no . GT 720 can run even Battlefield 4 and Need for Speed Rivals on HD resolution . i may look for a good one .
HP's usually have really bad fans and over heat a lot which can lead to your motherboard frying. I recommend the Lenovo. The Lenovo also has better specs it some departments.
 
other than the hp was referbished i would go with that one. has larger ram, and hd (both of which you could change on either) but it also has usb 3.0 and if you plan on using external hard drives the speed with usb 3.0 is much faster and noticeable with larger files. I have owned both and and both worked fine with there intracacies about how to do things. my experience with hp in-warranty repair was great about 8 years ago and other than that on about 4 hp pc/laptops i have had only one had a failed hdd after warranty and with my imaging software had it back up in about 30 minutes (but that software is another discussion)
 
agreed, specs can match but manufacturing quality is different. Lenovo has better plastic, not your typical hello kitty gloss fragility. Drop tests are better with Lenovo as well.
 
what are you looking for in a laptop? Is bestbuy a necesity? I ask because it looks like one is sold by bestbuy and the other sold through bestbuy
