Which laptop is better for me?

[swifty98]

I can't decide between 2 laptops, I want to know which one is better for gaming, no mention of Desktop cause I can't get one due to personal issues, thank you.

1- LENOVO G500S I7-3612QM 8GB 1TB NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 720M 1GB 15.6

Or

2-DELL 3537 I7-4500 8GB/1 TB /AMD HD 8800M 2GB/15.6

Both are the same price too.

Games I'm looking to play probably Destiny, FIFA, GTA Online when it comes to pc in January and some other newer games, I can accept a mix of high/ ultra and medium settings in order to get decent graphics and frame rate.

The second one is way better. It has a better cpu and gpu. Also destiny is a ps4 exclusive just to let you know.

While the Radeon HD 8850m is more powerful than the GT 720m, the Core i7-4500u is only a dual core CPU. It is not a quad core CPU like the i7-3612QM. Having said that, when choosing a laptop for playing games it is always better to select the laptop with the more powerful GPU as long as the CPU is not so weak that it bottlenecks the GPU.

The Radeon HD 8850m is basically equal or very close to the performance of the GT 845m / GT 755m.
