Let me preface this with the fact that although I do play quite a few games on the computer, I am mostly in the dark about the more technical aspects of the hardware. Now,
For a number of reasons that are mostly irrelevant to anybody but me, I am getting a new laptop, and have narrowed it down to two.
Of these two, one has listed as the graphics card, "AMD Radeon HD 8750M + HD 8000 Series Dual Graphics" It is also cheaper to the point that adding on more RAM, or up the harddrive will still put me under the price of the other one. It also has a "AMD Quad-Core A10-5750M Accelerated Processor" , but processors confuse me even more than graphics cards, so moving on...
The other has "NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 650M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory", which from the point of view of somebody who knows very little about actual computer work (and is mostly basing things off of some website) seems to have a better performance. It also comes with a "3rd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM Processor (2.4GHz, 6MB L3 Cache)", but once again I am ignorant as to what that means exactly.
Now, as previously stated, I play quite a few games. Though I am console first (WiiU, which means that a lot of things come out on pc that I can't play on the console), I tend to be a bit behind the curve on what I'm playing (I.E. not playing big games the first day they come out).
If at all possible, I would be very grateful for any help or opinions you could toss my way (and please keep the laughter to a minimum if you could).
