simly put not at all, Your best best is to buy a cheap gaming desktop and then use rdp with a cheap 200$ laptop for gaming purposes. Youll have alot more resources to work for and gaming at that res for desktops is extrememly easy a 100$ graphics card will max out any game at that resolution

i meant to say the price, the laptop is about €560 so i don't think i would be able to get a desktop and a laptop for that price in Ireland, also high end graphics aren't a big thing for me, i was happy playing witcher 2 on low everything on my pavillion dv9600.

the first one has a better processor, and the rest is the same. It's suggested value is almost 3x as much on intel's website. It also has hyperthreading. I'd say choice 1 if you have to choose between the two of them as long as the price works for you
