Having not owned a laptop are there considerations I'm neglecting?

Budget of approx £600, been looking for a laptop, and while I'm not after a dedicated gaming laptop (favourite devs are console focused anyway) I want to see what I van squeeze out performance-wise for the budget.

Been looking at the HP ak000na, i5 6300, 950m card 8gb ram seems decent but its only 720pp

There is an Acer Aspire V3-574G which is 1080, i7 550 but with a 940m.

My understanding is the most benefit comes from the card, so would the best return be to go with the HP and hook it up to my monitor when I want to go full HD? Would it be a noticeable drop on day-to-day tasks at 720?

Sorry for the length and thanks in advance!
 
Don't go for any of those and go for the acer e5 with the gt 940m or msi laptop.
