I think it's funny that you say you don't really know much about hardware, so you ask us. Then in the end don't take our advice xD
Personally, I think you're going to regret not getting something with a dedi-GPU.

But I still think you'll regret getting a laptop without a dedicated GPU, if you're using it for gaming of any sort.

It means that it will have an actual graphics card, instead of just using the built-in graphics chip that's on the motherboard. The ASUS that I posted earlier in the thread has a GT 540M, which is a pretty good card, especially for a laptop.
If you want, here is one that is a little closer to your price-range (dunno if you already ordered the other one or not): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6834220868 Newegg also offer free shipping on it, so you'd have that going for ya too ;) 
Laptops are much better now... I got mine in 2008 with a dedicated GPU - Dell XPS M1530 so unportable lol. I'm considering getting a new laptop soon so people's suggestions here have been helpful to me too. Also look on slickdeals.net then click laptops and see if you like any of the deals. That's where I'm looking too.
Your choice is nice too... mine only goes up to 4GB ram.

Eh, I think i'm going to get the Lenovo, the computer I have now has good graphics and its a lower end Dell Inspiron, the only prob with this is when i'm playing Minecraft I always run out of memory and it has 4GB of RAM and the Lenovo has 6GB of RAM. I also don't like that ASUS because it only has 4GB of RAM and a 500GB HDD. When the Lenovo has a 640GB HDD. I also wanted a Intel Core i5. o_O EDIT: I see it has a i5 neow. durp

There's no reason you should be running out of RAM with 4 gigs. Sure you're not running out of graphic memory?
Also, the HD in the ASUS might be smaller, but it's 7200rpm, where the Lenovo is a 5400rpm, so all your stuff would read/write faster on the ASUS which would make it faster.
