Since you didn't mention which country you live in, I'm going to go ahead and assume that you live in the United States and recommend this one: http://slickdeals.net/f/4781348-Acer-Aspire-AS5560G-15-6-Laptop-A6-3420M-4GB-7670M-399-97-12-Shipping?

It has a considerably faster GPU than the two laptops you listed, and it is $399.

For non-gaming use the Lenovo is much better, but that Intel HD graphics is not a viable gaming GPU. The Acer has the opposite problem: it'll feel slower for everything else. I'd also look for a third option with better balance.
