Lenovo: core i5 3230m, GT 635m, 1tb hard drive

Will the ulv processor be too weak for gaming and general use? Which laptop should I buy out of these two?
 
Solution
At a similar price point you should be able to get a better system; maybe an extra $50 (give or take). Although the 740M is better than the 635M, the U processor will bottleneck the GPU.


Look into Clevo resellers for your country. You may be able to find something a bit better for not much more money. Some of the Clevo resellers tend to sell high end systems at high premiums, but you may be able to find some of the middle-tier Clevo laptops for closer to your budget.

Examples of Clevo resellers (that I know of in Europe): Schenker notebooks, XMG, Eurocom (now defunct), and mysn.
