Is there a significant difference in gaming capabilities between these computers?

I've narrowed my laptop search down to these three computers:

All three have the same processor (4th gen i7 4700MQ) and the same amount of RAM. My question is how much of a difference there is between the graphics cards in the laptops? The first and third have the same card ( Nvidia GTX 765M). The second has a Nvidia GT 750M SLI. Is there a significant difference between the two cards and which laptop is best based on laptop and company quality and overall features? I'm leaning towards the Lenovo, but I'm open to opinions on any of them.

Thanks in advance!

Check these out:

GTX 765M Benchmarks

They listed the 750M SLI but they did not have actual benchmarks for that setup. Theoretically if SLI is working well with a game you could expect a 90% boost (not quite a 100% double).

So as mentioned above, the 750M SLI setup should be faster. However, in a laptop, you're going to use more power! Make sure you're plugged in while gaming. :)

Take a look at the FPS ratings for each game (scroll down a ways) and compare the two. See what games you play and determine what makes sense to you.
