Need help with a decision for Laptop

Hi so I'm looking for a new laptop. Nothing fancy, at least 2gb RAM, 150+GB HD, long battery life (more than 3 hrs), built in webcam, dvd-rw drive etc and price range $400-$600

I've narrowed it down to the Lenovo G550
but I was wondering:
at ATIC we have this one

http://www.atic.ca/index.php?page=LongDesc&sku=60834

(I think there's a mistake there as the webcam can't possibly be 0.3 MP I don't think....on the web it seems to be 1.3 MP everywhere).

6 hr battery life!

$550 if cash payment.

On ebay I found one here
http://cgi.ebay.ca/LENOVO-G550-BNIB-...ht_1998wt_1165

which looks nice ($10 more expensive after shipping)

but I was wondering....

if I avoid the hassle of shipping (and save $10 at the same time), the ATIC one has 3GB DDR3 ram and 250GB HD.

THe ebay one, however, has 320 GB HD and 4GB DDR2 RAM...


Do you guys think the ATIC one is the better choice assuming I don't give a shit about the extra 70GB HD space, nor do I think 4GB DDR2 vs 3GB DDR3 will make a huge difference... ? Not to mention the ATIC one comes with windows 7 whereas the ebay one doesn't.
(all this assuming everythign else is the same..esp the battery life being 5-6 hrs).

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Also if you guys think there's a laptop better than this in the same price range feel free to let me know
