Laptop help which is better?

I'm buying a laptop in store south Australia, Adelaide.

My budget is $500 (I can't even spend 1 more dollar)

Which laptop is better?

The Acer aspire looks better but it doesn't have a dedicated graphic card. (I assume that's bad?) It also has a slightly lower benchmark compared to the lenovo.

I want a fast computer primarily for beginning in programming applications or basic games.

I may try to play some new game like skyrim online or some other intense game like bf3. I don't need to have that capability but it would be nice. I also want to run adobe stuff. Photoshop etc.

Well I guess things are way more expensive Australia, Because Both of the laptops are kind of in a way junk. I mean for $500 you should get a Intel i3 3*** or an AMD A8-6*** in America. The Lenovo is better, But you won't be able to play ANY games, Basically just Webbrowsing, MS Office, maybe Photoshop, not AfterEffects or any vidieo editing.

Neither laptop has what is considered a dedicated graphics card.
Both laptops are low performance.
Laptops are a premium price in Australia based on taxes mostly.
Both G series Lenovo and Acer add to Dell Inspiron and HP Pavilion as base laptop quality as no premium for that.
Both below average in CPU performance:
Pentium N3530 @ 2.16GHz1961
A4-6210 APU2179
N3530 has Bay Trail integrated HD Graphics at Rank 480
A4-6210 has R3-6210 graphics which is somewhere between HD 3000 and HD 4000 integrated, rank 358

Neither is gaming suitable to modern games.
Taking the better CPU and Graphics A4-6210,
may or may not play ES Online at the lowest settings

Looks like BF3 at the lowest settings runs. Most new games will not run.

Highest CPU and graphics and brand reputation

WIth a new Solid State drive and including WIndows 7 Professional, and an i5-2540M CPU scoring 3713, even with only HD 3000, you weren't getting anywhere on gaming, so at least get a decent CPU.
or find a local used laptop of 2nd generation core i or better
