so I've got two options from a friend their both refurbished

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?CompareItemList=-1%7C9SIA8UC3E71306%5E9SIA8UC3E71306%2C34-319-464%5E34-319-464

(dont pay attention to their prices the cost is $200 each)

Which one should I choose?

uses include mostly office document/excel and streaming to ChromeCast for TV shows. but also not terrible demanding games like Dota 2 or World of Tanks.

the games are not requirements but just bonuses.

granted I am use to a 3570k OC desktop and get pretty frustrated when things bog down and run sluggish.

Most Likely I'll swap out the HDD for a SSD

so what say you which is the better?

Hmm, no opinions?

The Thinkpad has had a heavy following and is quite liked from a quality standpoint.

That being said HD 4400 where will do much better for gaming in comparison even if its a ULV processor

Hmm well that really is like a "get this one for quality, get the other for gaming"

LOL anyone else have thoughts on the matter?

Well you could always get an eGPU as well, but thats hardly a plug and play solution most of time and kind of takes away the mobile aspect of it

Yeah, I do. Save until you hit $500 and get this instead:
