this laptop is XMG laptop

is has 980m 8 gb ddr5 geforce
i7 6820k processor
8 gb ddr4 memory

is this a good laptop for gaming?

confused what size i should go for tbh
 
Size is entirely up to you. The CPU and Video card in the system if fine for games.

If I was deciding on a laptop screen, if it was not going to be used with an external monitor and I wanted it for games, I'd get the larger screen. But that's because I don't really care about the extra size since I won't be moving it around much. If you need a small portable laptop, I'd get the larger one then buy a used 12" laptop for a few 100 to carry around.
