basically, the first laptop has an Intel Quad Core i7-3630QM processor @ 3,4 GHz, an nVidia GeForce GT 635M and 8GB RAM. Original price was 1299 euros which is about 1500 dollars. on discount for 899 euros, 1100 dollars.

the second one has a Intel Core i5-3210M dual core processor @ 2,5 GHz, an nVidia GeForce GT 650M and 6GB RAM. original price - 1099 euros, which is about 1250 dollars. discount - same price as laptop #1.

the thing that sucks about the first laptop is the GT 635M... and in the second laptop, the dual-core processor.

but my question is, which sucks more?

P.S.
i need a laptop because i'll be moving around alot and a desktop would be very useless.
in my free time, i'm planning to play games like skyrim, assassins creed 3 and BF3 - and i'm hoping for SMOOTH fps on at LEAST medium settings.

thanks in advance!

The first one is better for multitasking, but the second will be much better for gaming.

thanks. i just checked out the prices of some desktops that cost exactly the same as the laptops i've checked... and they probably perform three times better than the laptops. -.-
but why??? :(

yeah do a new dektop build, it would give much better performance bcoz. the desktop gpu's are way powerful than the laptop gpu's(mobility chipset) and cpu is also good and u can upgrade to a better psu which will help in better power fluctuations and would provide support to the gpu and the cpu.

did you completely miss the part where i said that i will be moving around so often that a desktop is out of question for me?
maybe now you could answer my question instead?

They perform better because they can use more wattage. An average laptop has a power supply under 100 watts, a gaming desktop often has over 500 watts. In desktops you can supply much more wattage and also cool much higher wattage components with more space for heatsinks.
