So, I'm on a budget right now and will be using a laptop for schoolwork and gaming....
Laptop 1:
http://www.asus.com/ph/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/X550DP/
A8-5550M
2 GB 1600mhz DDR3 RAM
HD 8550G + 2 GB DDR3 HD 8670M
5400 RPM 500 GB HDD
Questions about this laptop:
How much RAM and what frequency do you guys suggest I buy considering it's an APU?
I'm not very familiar with the APU systems and such, is there an option to run only one of these cards? If so, which of the two GPU's should I enable during games?
Laptop 2:
http://www8.hp.com/ph/en/products/laptops/product-detail.html?oid=6737637#!tab=specs
Core i3-3110M
2 GB 1600mhz RAM
Nvidia Geforce 820M
5400 RPM 500 GB HDD
Questions about this laptop:
Nothing really, aside from will it perform better than the other laptop when gaming.
I will be playing games like BF4, BF3, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed 4, etc at 720p medium-high detail with no AA. Will either of these two be able to run them at decent FPS rates with the said detail? I would also like to know what your opinions are on both systems.
Note: Please don't suggest any other systems.
