I'd get the Lenovo laptop; A better CPU and GPU will help a lot in gaming.

What Eduello said! Not to mention the screen resolution is nothing to write home about on the ASUS. But I see no mention of resolution on the Lenovo. Curious.

Yeah, the site doesn't really show the resolution unfortunately. What I do know is that the VGA is actually a 2GB(as with all laptops). So there's mistakes.

According to Lenovo's website, the Z5070 is otherwise known as the Z50. I know you are in the UAE, but I could only find the Z50 series on the UK Lenovo website. They show 2 different models of Z5070, and one looks to be identical spec-wise to the one you are considering. BOTH models show a 1920x1080 display, so hopefully the one you are considering is the same.

I'd go for the Lenovo.
