Hello guys,
So I am thinking of buying a new laptop and got this 2 in mind. I really can't decide between this 2.

Notebook Lenovo Ideapad G510
Processor: Intel Core i5-4210M (2.6 GHz, 3.2 GHz Turbo, 3MB Cache)
Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Storage: 1TB
Screen Type: 15.6" HD Led Backlight 1366 x 768 16:9
Graphic Processor: AMD Radeon R5 M230 2GB
Price: 500 euros

Notebook Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-70
Processor : Intel® Core™ i5-4210U up to 2,70 GHz 3M Cache
Memory: 8GB DDR3L SDRAM 1600 MHz
Storage: 1TB HDD SATA 5400rpm
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 840M 2GB DDR3
Display: 15.6" FULL HD 1920 x 1080
Price: 535 euros



Is the second worth the 35 euros extra?
I am an engineering student so I am mostly gonna use it for school and possibly work. Occassionally i might play games on him like LOL, PES, but that's not the decisive factor.

Thank you !!!

 
I'd go for the second one. Putting aside the graphics card (I prefer Nvidia, personally), the screen resolution makes a big difference, at least to me. 1920x1080 just looks so much better than 1366x768 in my opinion. 35 euros seems like a small price to pay for a lot more screen real estate.

My main concern is if it is worth to lose on cpu power to gain on display and graphic card and pay 35 euros in the proces?
