Hello. Im looking for a laptop for both gaming and daily things like youtube, office etc. The laptop with i5 is acer aspire which looks pretty nice to me and have some advantages against the one with i7. It has better cooling system, full hd screen (i7 has hd screen), backlight keyboard. So yeah, i want to ask if i5 4210h cpu is enough for me? Or should i go for i7. Also i7 is 100$ cheaper. I want to be able to play latest games(doesn't have to be highest or ultra settings).

Thank you for reading. Sorry about my bad English. I learned all of this from youtube. Thanks :D

I'd go for the one with the 960m if gaming is your biggest concern. I have a notebook with a 960m and it's pretty decent, it will run Fallout 4 at 1080p/medium and Starcraft 2 at 1080p/ultra. The i5 4210h should be more than sufficient for gaming or standard desktop tasks.

Take the one with the i5 + 960m, the GPU on that is better and the CPU is more than enough.

With neither laptops you'll be able to play the latest games at maximum details, but the GTX 960M should be able to perform alright at 1080p low.
