Hello all, I am looking at 2 new laptops that I am deciding on and I have found them both for the same price, so now I want to know which is better for GAMING. Anyways here are the specifications.

System 1, Acer Aspire V7-482PG-5842 (Model with 4GB vram):

Intel Core i5-4200U 1.6 GHz (2.6 GHz Turbo) (3 MB Cache) 8 GB DDR3L SDRAM 500 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 4GB DDR3 1080p screen Windows 8.1, 8-hour battery life

System 2, Lenovo Y40 Laptop Computer - 59423034:

Intel core i7 4510U 2.0 GHz (3.10GHz turbo) 8 GB Ram 500GB HDD + 8GB SSHD Radeon R9 M275 2GB GDDR5 1080p Screen Windows 8.1

Your two biggest concerns are the core and the graphics card.

I7 is much better than i5. According to here, the Radeon is much better than the nvidia 750m. EDIT: they should be on rows 90 and 119 if I'm seeing it right, please check the site yourself. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html

So the Lenovo should be MUCH better for gaming. You should look up battery life, cooling, weight, and monitor size if they matter to you.

Neither. Get a desktop.

What Valkyrian said, that should be more than enough to run leagues at a fine pace. The game is designed to be very efficient and run well on most systems, my old laptop (before i got my beautiful Alienware 15) was half the laptop of that Lenovo and still managed 30+ frames on normal graphics.
