I'm currently in the market for a new laptop and have found a couple i want it for everyday browsing and light to medium gaming (Fallout 4 / Xcom 2) Like the idea of it being light and portable but with enough power to play games as i travel quite a lot.

I have seen the both of these at the same price range Acer swift 3, i5 8250U, 256GB SSD , 8 GB Ram, 2GB MX150 (non upgrade-able ram - soldered in)

Acer Aspire 7 i5-7300HQ, 1TB HDD, 8 GB Ram, 2GB GTX1050 (Can upgrade ram and add M.2 SSD)

What are your thoughts? not sure which one to go for

Both come in at around £500

Thanks for your opinions in advance
 
Solution
For gaming, the system with the 1050 will be a lot better. For older games, does not matter much. The Swift 3 is likely to have a better battery life.
