Personally the Acer, but you'll find it hard to game happily on either. The Acer will run a bit better overall as the Asus seems to be limited by both the DDR2 memory, the slightly lower spec GPU, and the higher res screen (unless you scale your games down to a different res).

You sure thats the best spec you can get for your money? You could get a Dell Studio with an i3 or i5 very eaasily for £510.

Just checked, £479 would get you an i3, 2GB ram @ 1333mhz (good or bad?) ATi 4570, 250gb hd, 1yr warrenty.
