Notebooks for "Light" Gaming

[Waldir]

Hi,

I am looking for a Notebook that i can play some games. I call it "light" gaming because i play mostly League of Legends and World of Warcraf, wich i think are not very demanding games.
Besides that, i like try newer games, but i have no problem on putting in mediun settings, as long as its runs smoothly.

Well, i found these computers in a very good price range for me, and i was wondering if they would be good enough (both are almost at same price):

Dell Inspiron 14r:
4th gen i5 4200U
6gb RAM DRR3
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 740M 2gb
1tb HD

or,

Dell Inspiron 15r
4th gen i5 4200U
4gb RAM DRR3
AMD Radeon® HD 8850M, 2GB GDDR5
750GB HD


I do belive de AMD GPU is better than the Gforce, but the rest is better on the 14r.
So i need to ask:

1) will any of those notebooks be decent for my gaming?
2) wich one is better for that porpouse?

Thank you all and sorry for my english

1.) Yes, either of these notebooks will be decent for your gaming.
2.) The AMD is a bit for gaming, but I would go for the Nvidia.

Why?

1.) Personally, I prefer 14" notebooks rather than 15"
2.) More RAM
3.) More Storage
3.) CUDA

NVIDIA will always have the edge and these specs can get you throught light gaming

The Radeon HD 8850m's performance is basically between that of the nVidia GT 750m and GT 755m.

RAM and the hard drive can always be upgraded. The graphics chip cannot, it is soldered into the laptop. 4GB of RAM is fairly inexpensive at around $40 - $50 and it is easy to install. 750GB of HDD space should be fine, if you need more you can always attach an external hard drive. On the other hand, if you want better graphics performance, then you need to buy a new laptop.

Based on the above (excluding physical size), the Dell Inspiron 15r would be my choice.

Yup both are fairly good for light gaming...but honestly i'd go for Dell Inspiron 14r..it is much more portable! and has more RAM(since modern games requires more than 4gb nowadays)...also AMD radeon graphics with intel HD graphics will have problems on the long run(speaking from experience)...best is to go for Nvidia!
