the 16 gigs of RAM on the lenovo is a big plus. what do you intend to use these for?

i still really prefer the Lenovo out of these options. tough if you plan on running some heavy games, i recommend getting a laptop with a dedicated graphics card rather than intel's onboard graphics.

 

it will bring the price up a bit tough but if you do a bit of searching you could get some sweet deals on amazon!

lenovo is better in all aspects besides lacking a touchscreen, which i think is really useful. Go for that one if you can spend the money.

When I searched for a CPU benchmark online, I found that the toshiba had much better benchmarks and more cores (source: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-5500U-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4700MQ). should I get the laptop with the better CPU, or the one with more RAM

if you want to game you shoud consider getting a laptop with a good nvidia or amd graphics card. Intel hd graphics are not that good for gaming 

i don´t think that you should worry so much about your cpu. an intel i7 will almoust certainly have enaugh power for gaming
