I'm being indecisive

Okay basically there are two laptops:

1. Lenovo Y580, i7 3610QM, GTX 660m, 8GB Ram

2. Lenovo W510, i7 Q820, Quadro FX880m, 12GB Ram

 

Now it may seem like the Y580 is the best laptop, but frankly that thing is falling apart, the hinges are messed up, screen sucks, the left side of the laptop is breaking and pieces of plastic are HOT GLUED on!

Currently, the Y580 has a 240GB Crucial M4, and a 700GB Toshiba HDD, and the W510 has a 320GB hdd that's wayy to slow.

The Y580 came with 32GB MSATA SSD that was sorta "raided" together but it's called rapiddrive, so a small ssd and HDD together getting SSD-ish speeds, but the problem is that it makes partitioning and upgrading windows a huge hassle.

That's the first option, other than that, i could install windows in the 32GB SSD and have the rest of the 700GB for everything else.

 

Why would I want to do this?

I really like the W510's screen and overall look and feel, and it has a docking station so that's super handy. The problem is that i can't game on the W510 at all because of some power issues where it lags when plugged in and the battery life is puny. I want to put the Crucial m4 in this laptop just because atm it's really laggy. But is it worth the hassle??

 

And finally, I'm going to [place in asia] this summer as i do every year, and I don't know what laptop to take with me. The W510 or the Y580. I will stay there for a month and i will definitely play games a lot, so it seems the Y580 is the better option. 
Also just a little bonus question:

What should my main laptop be in the end? A y580 with M4 and 700GB HDD? or a Y580 with 32GB MSATA SSD and 700GB HDD with or without Rapiddrive, or a  W510 with the crucial m4 or a slow 320GB HDD..

 

 

Thank you
