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!

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.
