Personally I would go with the ASUS Lappy if anything for the Blu-Ray drive and the HDMI out. I am a big fan of ASUS motherboards and if their Laptops are anything like their MB's then it will kick arse and take names. THe only thing I don't like about the ASUS is the weight and the size. 8lbs is a lot for a laptop IMO.
