Topic: Need New Laptop, What Things are Important?

So I'm finally getting rid of my old laptop that's been slow and glitchy since it crashed back in Semptember; I sent it in, it took them a month, and its still having several annoying problems.
I have picked out a few laptops that I'm stuck between, all around $600 USD; the problem is, the differences are those techy things that I don't understand at all. So I'm hoping that some people out on BiM can help me out, what things are important for brickfilming? The programs I use are Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 10.0, HeliumFrog, Gimp, and Audacity (not sure if that makes a difference, but just in case). Multi-tasking is important, but I'm afraid I have no idea what thing means "able to do many things at once".
Two new laptops, compared: Here
And three refurbished laptops, compared: Here
I've been thinking that refurbished is the way to go, because it probably does more for the same price, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance, y'll!

The two most important things on a computer are its processor and the computer's memory. In the first link the Samsung laptop is better. In the second link the AsusFactory-Refurbished Laptop is better.

memory as in hard disk space shouldnt be a key factor you always have external hardrives whcih are 90 bucks for 320GB.
RAM memory then yes that is sometimes not always beneficial.
A good graphics card couldn't hurt
Im not to good at directing specific laptops so ill leave that to someone
However here is a link to help you pick a laptop although it does say for blender which is a 3D program it tells you which parts in a comp are best to pay more for. Here

GPU
DISPLAY
CPU
SSD

The rest get the lowest option and upgrade as the things above are harder to upgrade.

Out of those 2: The asus is much better becuase you will want the more processor power. And some other stuff about it,
I would easily go with the Asus one, better deal.
Hope that helps
