I am in a big state of confusion with two laptops. Both of them are have identical configs other than GPU and GPU with a $70 difference. One comes with i7-3630QM ($580) while the other one comes with i7-3520M with dedicated GT630M ($650). I am more into graphic works like photoshop and illustration along with softwares like matlab. I don't intend on playing recent games on it (got xbox for that). So which one would actually be better, quad core or dual core with dedicated graphics; in overall context?

Please don't suggest me anything like "get 650M" or some other laptop because these two are my only options.


Cheers :)
