If it were me, I'd find a laptop with the great processor from the Asus, but with a better graphics card (probable the 560m) the 550m is kinda mediocre. probably be a little more expensive, but worth it for sure

Netween those two, I'd take the Asus. Sure the Medion has a better gfx card but that's all it has going for it.
