I think the Lenovo is a better deal as it comes with 8gb ram, and larger hard drive. Aside from brand, those apprear to be the only differences. Plus, not everyone wants a 17" laptop.

Forgot to add the fact that the Lenovo is Ivy Bridge and the Asus is Sandy Bridge

I like the specs. I'd pay an extra $70 to bump up the processor to an i5-3340M (2.7GHz) or i5-3360M (2.8 GHz).

Lenovo laptops G Y etc.. all feels cheap quality, not good product and dead pixels problem, fan is loud every now and than it kicks in. Definitely garbage 1366x768, don't fall into this rubbish.

good deal.

exchange the hdd for a ssd .

I have a Lenovo Z580 laptop, and it has a nice premium feel to it. In my opinion, one of the better built consumer grade laptops. Definitely not the slimmest, but very nicely built. I like the brushed aluminun.

I have a G580, and while its mostly plastic, it doesn't feel flimsy or cheap (unlike the HP630 we have). And it is WHISPER quiet...I never hear the fan, even when gaming (like Star Wars: The Old Republic).

Yes, its 1366x768....but so is every other laptop in this price range and not everyone can afford to drop $700+ on a computer.
