I am trying to decide between an:
Hp Envy 15t with:
i7 procesor
8GB GDDR3L
Intel 4600 graphics

Or
Lenovo Y40
i7 processor
8GB GDDR3L
2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon™ R9 M265X graphics
Thanks a ton!

The second , since it has fast dedicated GPU

Performance

Depending on the clock rate and benefits from Boost, the AMD Radeon M265X ranks in the upper mid-range of mobile graphics cards as of mid 2014. Performance is roughly in between a GeForce 840M and a GeForce GTX 850M (DDR3). As a result, this AMD GPU can run current titles smoothly up to 900p with medium to high settings.

Well right now i have an HP pavilion with an i5 and the Intel HD 4400 and its giving me problems playing a game like League of Legends so I kind of just assumed it would help if I got an i7 and better graphics card. Do you have any suggestions? I'm in the price range of about $700 USD.

The i5 is good for gaming. The i7 would be overkill but the second one you chose will be solid for you if its in your price range. It will have no issues with LoL. Dedicated graphics cards are always better for gaming so go for that one. Its a nice Laptop.
