Asus UX501 vs Lenovo Y50

[The Wes]

Hi Friends,
I am a college student and I was looking for a laptop for Multimedia, Gaming and Work purpose.
I have 2 Laptops in my mind, but can't decide which one is best.

Lenovo Y50 or ASUS UX501

Both the laptops have high configuration as per my need. But can't decide which one will give best performance.

Thanks.

Assuming these are the two you were looking at

I'd go with the Asus. 512gb SSD is nice, should be able to hold a decent amount of music, movies, games, documents, etc. Ways a little less than the Lenovo. But would read some reviews and decide which of the cons you find the more bearable.

Here is one for each from the same site:
