I'm trying not to spend too much, since I want to put the extra money into my hobby in music, but I like to game, but the laptop I'm buying is for university. I've seen a few laptops, but what do you guys think would be a good laptop under $650 that can last me a while?

Things I've seen so far:

If you guys have suggestions that'd be great!
Thanks a bunch!

730m is faster.

But samsung has a better design and more RAM.

Would it be better to just spend the extra $100 and get a Lenovo IdeaPad Y400?

y400 with 750m is significantly faster (clocks are 750 mhz vs 967+ boost), about 30-40% better performance (gddr5). Also can get a better cpu and more ram. I'd say its worth it. (build quality is probably better on the lenovo too).
