Hey all, it's been a while since I last posted here. I'm looking for an affordable laptop for school, gaming, and everyday use. I'm looking for at least 8 gb of ram, I would prefer a touch screen with windows 8, as much portability as possible, ultra or high settings on wow, and all for around $800-$1000 dollars. I've found a lot, and these are the two I really like. I'm personally customizing them on HP's website.

I'm not to familiar with AMD though, and the second one doesn't have a touchscreen, What are your recommendations on laptops that are similar to these, and which one should I get out of the two I linked? Thanks!
