Hi everyone! I'm trying to decide between two laptops here and I am stuck! The main purpose of the laptop would be to used in school (taking notes, programming etc) and occasionally play some games when I'm on the move.

So, the first laptop has AMD A6-5357M Processor and AMD Radeon HD 8750M (2 GB)
The second one has AMD A8-4500M Processor and AMD Radeon HD 7730M (2 GB)

And what I've understood, first laptop has better GPU but worse CPU. So I can't really decide should I go for the better GPU or CPU... (the first laptop is 499€ and the second 599€)

I would like to go for the first one, since it is cheaper, but I'm afraid that will the CPU bottleneck the better GPU so that it can't play any games at all, or something..

Yea but that 600€ is the absolute top I can afford now. And I was asking, which one of those two would be better. To have better CPU but not so good GPU or vice versa?

You should look for a mix of both, but games rely mostly on the GPU. If that laptop was too much look for a laptop with a i5 CPU and a Nvidia GT graphics card. An AMD intergrated card won't really cut it for gaming.
