    Hello!
    So after much research in various brands and models, my decision has come down to these two HP models that are quite similar,
    however I need a little swaying into either models direction.

    Model 1:

    HP ENVY dv6t-7200 Select Edition Notebook PC | HP® Official Store
    $799.99USD Base Price


    Model 2:

    HP ENVY dv6t-7200 Quad Edition Notebook PC | HP® Official Store
    899.99USD Base Price

    I'm stuck due to the fact that they are very similar but the $200 savings would be extremely helpful if it's not a major upgrade for the $900 version. The Quad-Edition comes with more powerful 3rd Generation i7 processors and an extra 250GB of HDD space. However the Select Edition matches it in all areas except the processor, 2cnd Generation i5, which I would upgrade to the 3rd Gen i5 if I purchased it), and also falls short on the video card area, (upgrade able to NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 630M Graphics with 2GB of dedicated video memory for $75), so my question is, which one do you believe is worth it?

    Thank you for any help in advance! :)
