Please help choosing notebook.

Hi,

I was looking to buy notebook, probably 15 inch. I've got confused with all the choices available. Primary use - some Java (For Android) programming and a little gaming (Skyrim). So I thought I'd need something with half decent GPU. The thing is, I've got limited budget <£450.

So, I've been looking around and I'd go with AMD CPU as these laptops usually cheaper. I'd go with Ivy Bridge CPU (Intel HD 4000 GPU) if I'd be able to find something in my price range.

So Far I've been looking at those choices:
Samsung NP355V5C-A04UK (A8 4500M 1.9GHz, 7640G GPU) £430
and
ACER NX.RUREK.001 ASPIRE 5560G AMD A6-3420M, 7670M Dedicated 1GB GPU - £380

I'm open to suggestions what should I buy, the most inportant thing - I cannot go over 450 pounds. RAM, HDD, battery life does not matter much. It should not overheat if gaming for a few hour's (but I'm not sure how to test that before I buy )

Thanks

Acer has the better GPU.
