Which 11.6" tablet to buy? Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T or Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a dilemma here, I’m currently looking for a tablet pc that has window’s 8 operating system on it, and I’ve narrowed my choices to these two rivals below:

Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T

Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx

I will be buying the keyboard dock for both units, and both specs looks pretty similar. Does anyone have any experience with these two? I can get the Lenovo for about 100 bucks cheaper in the US, but I really like the Samsung as well. The Lenovo has better battery life, but Samsung offers a rear facing camera and a stylus pen. Any input would be appreciated.

The Core i3 makes it a laptop replacement IMO. Not sure I'd pay more than $400 for an Atom CPU

It's actually a great price on a tablet with full Windows, a proper Core processor, and a 1080p IPS display. 64GB is much too cramped, but I suppose you can solve that with an external HD or USB key.
