Having not owned a laptop are there considerations I'm neglecting?

Budget of approx £600, been looking for a laptop, and while I'm not after a dedicated gaming laptop (favourite devs are console focused anyway) I want to see what I van squeeze out performance-wise for the budget.

Been looking at the HP ak000na, i5 6300, 950m card 8gb ram seems decent but its only 720pp

There is an Acer Aspire V3-574G which is 1080, i7 550 but with a 940m.

My understanding is the most benefit comes from the card, so would the best return be to go with the HP and hook it up to my monitor when I want to go full HD? Would it be a noticeable drop on day-to-day tasks at 720?

Sorry for the length and thanks in advance!
