Looks like the HP is edging it because of the graphics and storage space
 
HP...newer gen proc. To lazy to google but eyeballing thse model nums I'd think the top CPU is an ultra lower power one while the bottom is std. Ultra low is preferable @ bat life. Battery info btw you did not list. ;)

If you can afford it upgrade the SSD to 128 though. 32 is barely enough for OS.
 
HP claim 8 Hours - im sure normal usage should give me about 4?

Lenovo unknown
 
i wouldnt buy an ultrabook that doesnt have a touchscreen now
 
Went for the Hp Envy

Getting delivered tomorrow :p
