Which one of the these three laptops is the best in terms of performance (will play games sometimes in medium settings if possible)-

1. Acer E5-772G-59N7
CPU: Intel Core i5-5200U Dual-core 2.20 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 940M 2GB
RAM: 8GB, DDR3L SDRAM


2. Acer E5-773G-5273
CPU: Intel Core i5-6200U Dual-core 2.30 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 920M 2GB
RAM: 12GB, DDR3L SDRAM

3. HP Pavilion 17-g188ca
CPU: AMD Quad-Core A10-8700P APU 1.8GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon R6
RAM: 12GB, DDR3L SDRAM


I know these are not good choices for gaming. I just want to get by until I buy a Gaming desktop. I'm a noob here, so please help me decide guys.

Thanks.

I have a 14 inch version of the first one, and it plays games better than my 650 ti 1gb, though the core itself is weaker. It will run most new games at low-med settings. The E5-772G is the best option, even if you miss out on skylake.
