College laptop question...

[BRAVO51]

So the question is lenovo y50 with i7 at $1099 or sager 7358 at $1079. I want something that would last me all four years and i seriously need help deciding, I am about to do a coin toss to decide. Hoping to order ASAP.

Links of the two models you're specifically looking at plus which additions/upgrades you have?

Sager would be your better route to go if you're looking for longer battery life and more storage options. They are nearly exactly the same for their graphics and CPU specs. So its really what you want. A slightly thicker laptop for higher battery life and more storage space? Or a thin design for high portability? Even though both will be same when it comes to portability... Just sager will be slightly heavier and slightly thicker.

Just sager will be slightly heavier and slightly thicker.

Partly right.

Lenovo (WxDxH): 15.23"x10.37"x0.9"
Weighs 5.29lbs

Sager: 14.72"x9.84"x.64"
Weighs 5.95 lbs

Sager is actually the smaller laptop, but with more weight.
