Hello, I am in the market for a i7 Notebook,

Minimal Req:
i7 720QM cpu
Asus
15.6
4g ddr3

I am fairly tech savvy however I have never played nor looked into notebooks

Wondering which of the two would be a better choice and why

and

I will be using the notebook for occasional gaming sc2 😉

Thoughts and feed back between the two cards ?

Thank you in advance
 
If I were making this choice for myself I would choose the first one just based on its higher screen resolution alone.
 
Solution
If you need the added battery run time, and are willing to accept the extra weight that goes along with it, then go for it if it's an available option.
