Solved! Help Choosing a Low Budget Gaming Laptop

[linasltu]

Afternoon all,

I have done some research and have chosen two Laptops which are within my budget and look technically quite good , however I need some advise making the choice since one has a better graphics card but less SSD, I will be playing games but nothing major so need enough for at least high setting on the newer games.

1st choice the MEDION ERAZER P6689 GAMING LAPTOP:

Intel Core i5-8250U Quad Core Processor
15.6" Full HD IPS 120Hz Screen
Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64-bit
8GB RAM
128GB SSD + 1000GB HDD
DVD Rewriter
Dedicated GeForce GTX 1050 4GB Graphics
USB3 | HDMI | Bluetooth
30023991

Intel Core i5-7300HQ Quad Core Processor
15.6" Full HD Screen
Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64-bit
8GB DDR4 RAM
256GB SSD + 1000GB HDD

1St choice for gaming.
Better screen IPS+ 120Hz
Better GPU 1050Ti
better CPU i5-8250U
-smaller ssd max 95Gb to run optimalif you go higher than 95gb it will decrease in performance.

I would go for the first one, both processors compared are nearly the same , HQ model veimg slightly better at gaming , but having only 4cores and 4 threads, 8250U has 4 cores and 8 thread making it better at any other task, that will make up for the 2% of difference in gaming , go for the 8250U model, it also hasn’t more VRAM
