Laptop choice help

Hello everyone,
My girlfriend and I have narrowed it down to two choices and I would really appreciate some input.

They are both at Fry's so we have had a chance to look at both of them.

The Lenovo Z585 with A10-4600M

Acer V3-551G X419.

Both are practically the same but the Acer has a dedicated Radeon 7670M.

The look and feel of the Acer is much better but I've read the Lenovo probably has better build quality.

It will be used for light gaming.

Really wanted your guys' opinion. Thanks
 
lenovo's consumer line doesn't have the spectacular build quality and warranty support that the thinkpad is known for.

The acer 551g will be better if you want to play more modern games at medium settings
the lenovo should be ok for many games at low settings.
