If they are both i7 then the only thing that matters is the GPU. 525m vs 560m....560m is the winner. So that system will game better.

How much are you looking to spend? Cuz I think you can do better for the price.

I understand. I'd suggest Asus based on the specs you provided. Just gonna warn you, don't expect much out of the two choices. They will play games but on Low settings.

Look for expert reviews too, but if you are concerned with gaming the better GPU wins.

Your budget is around £550, right?

This is a company that builds custom gaming laptops:

You can't beat the components in a Sager for the price.
