And for 30 more pounds I can get the 750gb with full hd for the ASUS so I'm confused on what one to buy, plus the ASUS looks great.

not being bias towards pcs but the asus is quite substandard the hard drive is slow and so is the screen if it isnt full hd the only thing it has going for it is the cpu, the optimus has full hd 1080p a fast hard drive, more ram and most likely a better build quality but i would recommend upping the thermal paste this will greatly improve the life of the laptop. hope this helps
