Choosing a laptop, Toshiba Satellite L850 or Asus X75VB-TY023D

[veznaver]

Hello, i want to buy my first laptop but i dont know much about laptops so i cant decide which to buy . I was thinking between 2 laptops :

Toshiba Satellite L850
Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM Procesor (3,4 GHz), Quad-Core
39,6 cm (15") HD 16:9 LED ,
4 GB RAM, 750 GB disk, DVD+/-RW
AMD Radeon HD 7670M (2048 MB), HDMI, USB 3.0, WLAN-n, BT
Windows 8 64 Bit, 2,3 kg
Price - 603€ or 797 $

Asus F75VB
Intel® Core™ i5-3230M Procesor (3,2 GHz), Dual-Core
43,9 cm (17") HD+ 16:9 LED ,
4 GB RAM, 500 GB disk, DVD+/-RW
NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M (2048 MB), HDMI, USB 3.0, WLAN-n
Price: 650 € or 859 $


So i was wandering which will perform better overall? I plan on playing a game here or there but not really a main focus.
I like asus because for the 17" screen but its pricier so is it worth it?

Sorry for my bad english and thank you for replying.

Hi
Since you are planning on playing games, NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M (2048 MB) is a far better graphic card than AMD Radeon HD 7970M(2048MB), so I advice you to choose Asus F75VB. But if you want raw power like editing photos, running photoshop then Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM Processor (3,4 GHz), Quad-Core is better suited for the job. For playing games what matters most is the graphic card and the difference between NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M (2048 MB) and AMD Radeon HD 7970M(2048MB) supersedes in performance, with respect to the difference between Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM Processor (3,4 GHz)- Quad-Core and Intel® Core™ i5-3230M Processor (3,2 GHz)- Dual-Core. So if I were a gamer i would go for Asus F75VB. I would also recommend you to upgrade your Ram to 8Gb.
