Hello everybody, I want o ourchase a laptoo in india. My preference is dell but i m stuck with two models. Dell inspiron 15 7000 (2015) 7559 vs Dell inspiron 15 7000 (2016) 7560. I am an CS engineering student and I do play games like gtav, battlefield 1,cs go,overwatch etc. Now the main difference b/w the two is that the former comes with an i5 6300hq but with an improved gtx 960 m 4gb ddr5 and the later one comes with an i7-7500u but with gt 940mx ddr5. So which one should I choose. Coding is my profession as cse student but gaming is my entertainment need so need professional suggestions please.
