Lenovo have a great reputation for good quality machines that last. Acer on the other hand do not. And the Dell is just an ugly piece of design. It may be reliable, but i just dont like them. Lenovo wins hands down in my opinion.

Out of the choices I would go for Lenovo too.
Good quality laptop and it's the cheapest option.

It wins hands down.

Also amazon tells me,

Ordering for Christmas?
Your items will arrive on or before 25 Dec 2011.

The acer only has an extra 2GB of RAM which you will not notice, and it has an extra 250GB of space. But the Lenovo has a very generous 500GB, you'd struggle to fill that i'd bet.

Lenovo wins every time.

+1, I know I already gave my opinion, but since you asked the question again.

It's marked at €469 for the i3, since it's only €508 on amazon for the i5 it's worth the extra few euro since it's within the OP's budget.
Unless you can haggle them down €70 :P
