I would go for the Samsung personally.

been reading up on the samsung no bad reviews so far.

The Samsung has a very poor CPU compared to the two Acers....

So for me it would be one of them or a Dell....

What would you pick out the above two acers?

Both are good specs, the intel based one with 4GB of ram might be your best option...

Unless it does not come with HDMI being intel based graphics and the AMD one does...

Really depends what your looking to use it for as the little things

Perosnally I would be looking at laptops based on i3 CPUs for that kind of budget, Dell was doing one for about £400 I think.

only problem is it has to be out argos as ive a gift voucher for £450 thats to be spent before the 15th of next month

I only really need the laptop for web stuff/emails i own/run an online shop so dealing with my zencart store and orders.

Ive the main pc in the house for gaming plus i really dont game that much unless its on the ps3 or xbox360
