The ASUS is definately better. It has a massively superior processor, potential for a 950M (incredible graphics for a laptop) and will overall perform better.

£60 - Kingston Hyperx Cloud £35 -Corsair HS30 £25-Corsair CA-9011121-EU-Y Raptor HS30-Y If you want to do YouTube or something similar then you may need to extend your budget over £30. The Hyperx clouds are the best thing I have ever bought and I would highly recommend them if you can afford them.

OK, so the i7 2670QM is a good processor, and it's onboard graphics are actually surprisingly similar to the 610m. I'm highly surprised you could run dying light ( http://www.pcgamer.com/dying-light-system-requirements-are-killer/ ) on a 610. That i7 would definitely help your PC, but it just...

It is possible to upgrade laptops but it's complicated. Laptop hardware is specialized so can't be easily recycled. The PSUs are specialized and so a higher power CPU may be a problem. I'm no expert, but I'd say: yes, you can upgrade it, but an i5 or 17 may be harder, and if you want it for...

You could consider http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V3-551-8469-15-6-Inch-Midnight/dp/B009A8L0IE but the graphics power is very similar and processor is basically the same but from AMD, which usually means slightly worse, still, not too bad for a look.

It's not brilliant, but can probably play MC ok, fallout may push the 20fps mark. Not too bad though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LejuMVJzPco I advise you to try and find some specific benchmarks for games you want to play as the Celeron is not great.

In that case, I'd go for something like this if you're happy to go team red on the graphics card: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($158.99 @ SuperBiiz) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 76.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler...

Something like a Lenovo Y50 would be good, although a bit over budget. You could go for a step down like a Y40, but I'm not sure how well that can run stuff. Should be able to run league & CS though. Alternatively, my brother runs Borderlands 2 on this...

You have only 120GB of storage. Are you recycling a HDD from elsewhere? Also, what do you want it for? As a gaming build for 1080p it's fine. As a 4k build it might not be. As a video editing/animation PC it could do with (maybe) more RAM and processing power. It all depends on the intended...

Try taking a look at this: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Acer-Aspire-V3-771G-Notebook.74597.0.html that may be a start point as one of my friends has the model up from this so I could get you a ton of benchmarks if you like. It's not massively light but I seem to remember that it has a...
