Help me goons. I am looking for a laptop for university and a store is selling the HP Envy 15-J005sp for 849€ during the next 2 days. It is usually sold for 999€ here in Portugal. Is it a good deal or does the thing have some terrible secret?

The store has the specs as the following:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ Quad Core 2,4 GHz Turbo 3,4 GHz 6 MB Cache
RAM: 8GB DDR3
HDD: 1TB
Screen: 15,6 ' LED IPS Full HD 1920x1080 pixels
GFX: Nvidia® GeForce™ GT 740M 2GB
Battery: Li-Ion 6 cells

Is the screen really that bad? I have heard that is not as anti reflex as it claims to be but nothing else besides that.

The same store is also selling the Asus N550JV-XO178H for exacly the same price. Would that be a better alternative?
Same CPU and RAM as the Envy. The HDD is 750GB, it has a LED HD 1366x768 px screen and Integrated Intel® HD Graphics 4600 +
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 750M with 2GB/4GB DDR3 VRAM for graphics.

Another option would be to ignore that sale and add another 100€ for a Toshiba Satellite P50-A-125.
