Sager/Clevo W230SS or W110ER? (Need to make a decision today)

[dragearen]

Hi all, I am in the process of looking for a smaller, lightweight gaming laptop and I narrowed it down to one choice, but then I found a really good deal online. So, I am looking to you guys to help me decide. I would like to be able to run modern games, and continue to run modern games for a few years into the future, but I don't need to run them at top quality.

Sager NP7338 (Clevo W230SS)
13.3" 1920x1080 matte screen
4.6lb weight
2.5GHz i7-4710MQ (worth +$35 for a 4810MQ?)
2GB GTX 860M
8GB RAM
1TB 7200RPM HDD
$1040

Sager NP6110 (Clevo W110ER)
11.6" 1366x768 matte screen
3.8lb weight
2.3GHz i7-3610QM
2GB GT650M
8GB RAM
256GB SSD
$600

So, basically, is it worth the extra $400 to upgrade from an i7-3610 and GT650M to an i7-4710 and a GTX 860M? Plus the added drawback of a heavier computer.

Edit: I should add that price is a pretty big concern for me. As it is, spending $1040 on the NP7338 is stretching my budget.

Go with the NP7338 with the 4810MQ. It's bigger and heavier, but if you're actually going to game on it, the NP6110 is a non-starter. If you want to run modern games for a few years, same answer.

Get the 13"!! How is it possible to play on a 10" screen anyways... Also the GT 650m GPU is getting outdated already

$1019 here with a 750gb 7200rpm hdd (and you can get a 3% cash discount)

I'll second the nomination for xoticpc - the NP7338 at the link is the one I got two weeks ago. Got my last laptop from them too - just retired it after five years. Their customer service is awesome. If you go for that one, pass on the IC Diamond thermal paste - get yourself a tube of it and apply it yourself - takes 10 minutes tops and will save $35 bucks. The stock paste job isn't great.
