HP6570b i5 Gen 3 which would be the one to go for

I am looking at a HP6570b locally, both have i5 Gen3 processor, this particular one has intel graphics 4000 which going by the review is just a tad below the other and has 8 GB of ram, 500 HDD

Another HP 6570b with HD 7570 graphics DDR5 1GB RAM, and 4GB RAM (i plan to upgrade that to the maximum 16) and 128GB SSD HDD

Which would be the best to go for? The HD750 is not swtichable whatever that means?

review below
thanks

Not switchable means the Radeon HD 7570m is always on; the laptop will never switch to the Intel HD 4000 to save power. It also means that if the Radeon HD 7570m fails, then nothing will be displayed on the screen. The Radeon HD 7570m is certainly more powerful than the Intel HD 4000, but the Intel HD 5500 in 5th gen Intel CPUs is at least as powerful as the Radeon and the Intel HD 620 in 7th gen Intel CPUs is definitely more powerful than the Radeon.
