So if I move to Portland with a bunch of you or to Pittsburgh with lawlz or something, I'm doing to need a laptop since my old one's busted and I can't easily transport an ancient desktop. I'm looking at cyber monday deals right now and I think it's down to these two:

Probably the 3rd or 4th one listed because the screen resolution's much better. The graphics chip is nice, 8gb ram, i7 Haswell, and 1tb hd. It would last quite a while I think. Backlit keys are nice, the only problem is the silly "gamer" style but as far as those go even it's bearable. Lenovo's stuff is usually pretty good and the keyboards are nice.

It's quite a bit cheaper, and it looks fairly decent. I don't like that it's bigger and Toshiba stuff usually feels kinda flimsy, but I'm sure it would be alright.
