The 6200u is better and you can't change cpu so it's better to get that. 940m 4gb won't matter over the 2gb version but it's cheaper than the other and doesn't hurt to have. You could always add ram and you can find 8gb for 2.5k so it comes out cheaper regardless.

Thank you for your answer. I have a noob question though.
940m 4 GB wont make a difference compared to 2GB? The images below are from the games GTA V and Assassins Creed Syndicate taken from a friend's laptop which has 940m 2GB. As you can see from the Video Memory meter, doesn't having 4GB matter when I keep the settings in HIGH or ULTRA HIGH ? Thank you.
