I cant decide between these two computers:

one is a Toshiba Satellite L55T-A, it has the newer i7-4700 Processor, but only 8 GB of RAM. It also doesn't have a backlit keyboard, something i could live without, but it would be nice. It has Mobile Intel HD Graphics with 32MB-1632MB. integrated Graphics.

the other one is a Toshiba Satellite S55T series, it has an older i7 3630 processor, but 12GB of RAM. This one does have a backlit keyboard. This has Mobile Intel® HM76 Express Chipset Mobile Intel® HD graphics with shared graphics. Discrete Graphics.

Which one of these two would be better? The first one is a little cheaper, but i heard that the S series laptops are faster than the L series.

I think the "Discrete Graphics" Means that the S55T has a secondary graphics card and will usually perform better in games and at playing higher quality videos. It depends on the graphics chip installed as to how much better though.

What are the graphics cards on them? Do they have other Nvidia or ATI cards installed? Right now I'd be leaning towards the L55T-A right now, as it has a stronger processor and you shouldn't need 12gb of RAM. Depending on the graphics card though that may change.
