I want to get a laptop specifically for streaming gameplay FROM my console through the laptop. Id never actually game on the laptop. But id also use the laptop for video editing. And should i go for DDR4?
Should i get the HPenvy touch m7-n109dx or the Lenovo y700 80nw000pus?

The only advantage the Lenovo has is the GPU and it is not much of an advantage. It is still a Lenovo and I stronly recommend against it. Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them. Lenovo also got caught shipping system with Adware installed on them called Visual Discovery by Superfish. It was a giant security hole that they intentionally installed for corporate greed.

The HP has a tad weaker GPU but it is a HP. It has far better build quality and customer support standing behind it.
For what you are wanting to do and the money you have to spend look at these.

I would go with the ASUS and select Windows 8.1
