Which of these two laptops should I get?

Hello, so within my budget of $700-$750, I found these two HP laptops.

HP ENVY 14.5" Beats Edition

HP Pavilion 15.6"

I find that the Pavilion is lighter, but has a worse video card than the ENVY, which is a little heavier but has a better video card/look. However, I hear that the ENVY's battery life is not up to par compared to the machine overall.

I was wondering, as a new college student who enjoys music, social media websites, streaming videos, occasional gaming and movies, and most importantly, work, which laptop would be the best?

P.S. - For those saying I can get a better laptop, I'm just saying that if I buy any of these two laptops, I get a free XBOX 360 which is why I am buying a $699-750 laptop from Best Buy. By getting a free Xbox360 with the laptop, I feel like the laptop will actually cost the price itself minus $150. So the Beats would be $600 and the Pavilion would be $550. More feedback appreciated.

 

Neither, get a thinkpad.

 

I would go with the HP envy. It has a better graphics card incase you want to do some light gaming, but it has a sandy bridge CPU, instead of ivy bridge like the other one. I doubt you would see the difference in speed though, so I would definitely go with the envy.

They both have Beats audio by the way.

I like the Beats, but damn.. That sure is a small screen for $600. I think you should look around some more. 14.5" really isn't as you'd think.

I have a Toshiba 17" that I paid $700 for and I really like it.
