I'm looking to buy a laptop to improve my gaming experience, and within budget I've found these two to select from. I'm looking to be able to play the latest MMO's without it lagging like crazy, and The Sims 3 without it lagging while I move around or speed up. These are the specs to each Laptop.

Also, which Graphics chipset is better, The Intel HM76, or the Intel HD 4000?

I assume that's for the GDDR5 version. Right? Better make sure to get the correct memory type if you decide on that route. I guess it's a pretty good choice if it doesn't cost much more. Personally I'd just prefer larger display and win7. But anyway, I wouldn't get anything with Intel iGPU inside.
