I am planning to buy a laptop but I can't decide which one is the best. I am looking for a good performance when it comes in gaming (games like LOL, DOTA2, Prototype etc. - not really hardcore games) and application like Android Studio, VB, Eclipse. (choices below)...

Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Please categorize it according to which is better and can you explain why? (I want to learn from you why that model it good than the other). Thank you in advance. I also mind the cost of it.. Well money is hard to find.. 😉 😉

Solution
Lookng a bit via "NotebookCheck" does the second one seem to be the best choice.Maybe check some reviews by them yourself.compare the gpu's and cpu's side by side.
