It just seemed after searching Newegg, Amazon, and Costco to be the best bang for the buck.
Here are a few options that can give you the best of both of those HPs:
Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 for $969: LINK
You'd likely pay sales tax at costco, so this laptop would work out to be cheaper than the HP. 1080P, 4700MQ, dedicated graphics card (GT 745M), a tiny SSD likely to use a cache and Intel RST, and a Blu-Ray burner thrown in for whatever reason.
If you aren't focused on 16GB of RAM (which might be overkill unless you can give me a technical explanation or an observed and quantified scenario in which you can and have exceeded 8GB of RAM), there's this HP envy for $819 after rebate: LINK
Not quite 1080p (1600x900, so higher res than the other HP with the Intel), and perhaps the screen is a bit bigger than you would want (17").
i7-4700MQ
12GB RAM
Also comes with this tablet for free

It's not crucial, but when running Ai/Ps/Visual Studio/every browser and a virtual OSX machine to test Safari because Apple dicks don't release a Windows version, I just always figured it'd be safer to err on the having too much side.
I don't have any hard numbers of actual usage, and I respect your opinion on these issues so I'll take your word for it.
Although, with this computer I'd much rather have individual programs run more smoothly and efficiently than focus on running multiple programs simultaneously. If I'm not mistaken, that's where the processor comes in, correct?

If I can hold out for two months, I can buy it during tax free weekend and save ~10%. I just don't know if I can hold out for two months
