Gigabyte p34g/XMG C404 vs Sager NP73387/Clevo W230SS/XMG P304

So I need a laptop and I was thinking of getting one of this two laptops. I put loads of names cause it looks like both laptops have multipla rebrands.
I want an overall good laptop with 13-14 inch good screen, decent battery and nice specs for gaming. It's for college.

The Gigabyte p34g has the following specs:
Display
1 x 35,6cm (14.0") Full-HD (1920x1080) Matte AHVA
Graphics card
1 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 4096MB GDDR5
Processor
1 x Intel Core i7-4710HQ - 2,50 - 3,50GHz 6MB 47W
Memory
1 x 4GB (1x4096) SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM 1600MHz Crucial

Hard Drive
1 x 120GB SATA-III SSD Crucial M500 (CT120M500SSD1)
Price
1246€
The Sager,
isplay
1 x 13.3" (33.78 cm) Full-HD 1920x1080 Matte IPS-Panel
Graphics Card
1 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M 2048MB GDDR5 + Pack NVIDIA Free-to-Play
Processor
1 x Intel Core i5-4210M Dual Core - 2.6 - 3.2 GHz 3MB 37W
Memory
1 x 4GB (1x4096) SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM 1600MHz Crucial
Hard Drive
1 x 120GB SATA-III SSD Crucial M500 (CT120M500SSD1)
Price 905€

Also, very important! Would you advise me to get a QHD+3200x1800 Glare IPS panel for 50 additional euros on the sager? Or a WQHD 2560x1440 Non-glare IPS panel or 75 euros?
It's a 13 inch screen, would it be noticeable? And wouldn't the icons show too small?
Cheers.

I would get the first option as it has a better cpu which will be handy for cpu intensive games like bf. Plus the extra vram is good if you decide to go into the games development route.

I would not get the higher res screens as you will not notice any difference on a small screen. Plus games don't run well on those resolutions. Also it drains the battery a lot quicker.

For an extra 75 euros I can get the same cpu as the first one. In both cases I would add a 500gb hdd and 4gb of ram I have at home. Would the 2gb vram difference make a huge difference in that case? It would be a 200€ difference.

For games no.But for gpu intensive programs yes. Also it depends on the settings. The higher the settings the more vram is needed.
