I'm trying to choose between these 2 laptops. I'll be using it for gaming (Skyrim, Starcraft 2, Arkham City, etc.) but I don't need to play on highest settings, medium will do fine. I mainly need something that will not lag. Budget is $800. I can't afford to upgrade to the i7 quadcore so I'm wondering if the i5 below with the 6770 will outperform the AMD and the 6750 for gaming.
Both models are $775. If you have any advice that will still keep me under $800 I would appreciate it. Thanks!
