I'm debating between two different laptops - 1.) ASUS ROG-GL753VE (~$1200) 2.) LENOVO Flex 5 (~$900)?

Added (1). I intend to use the laptop for very light gaming (Hearthstone and Diablo), schoolwork (90% coursework is online), videos/movies, and music. My work requires me to travel a good bit to rural areas where Wi-Fi is sparse. In seeing this, the disk drive on the ASUS adds a bit of extra appeal. What do you think?

What do you think would be the best bang for the buck? Another distant option would be a Microsoft Surface (if it wasn't too huge of a price jump).

Go with Lenovo, probably better since I have never heard of the first one in my life
