Hey guys looking for some advice or suggestions on which laptop to get. I don't really game but willing to pay more for one that comes with a decent graphics card in case I do decide to play some games. Primary use would just be surfing the internet, streaming videos and downloading. Has to be 17" and under $900 and good enough to last the next 4-5 years.

I've narrowed down my search to these two laptops:

HP ENVY 17-j070ca for $899.
HP Envy (E0K89UA) Laptop, 17.3", 2.4GHz Intel Core i7-4700MQ, 1TB HDD, 8GB DDR3 RAM | Staples®

Lenovo Z710. Found one retailer selling it for $899
Lenovo Z710 17.3" Gaming Laptop - Black (Intel Core i7 4700MQ/1TB HDD/8GB RAM/Windows 8.1) : Laptops - Future Shop

I've checked out both in person and at this point I'm leaning towards the HP Envy. Good choice or would you recommend something else between the $700-$900 range?
