Okay, so, I have an HP ENVY TouchSmart 4-1115dx. Now, I play things like WoW, CrossFire, Minecraft, Runescape. Long story short my screen is cracked and I'm looking for a laptop. I have found 2 GREAT ones in my price range on Newegg, the thing is that one is dual core and intel and the other is AMD Radeon R5 and quad core. I hear Quad core is gonna be BIG in the future of gaming but that the AMD Radeon R5 SUCKS. I'm stuck on which one to buy. I will post the links below. ALSO, If you know any GREAT computer in my price range PLEASE post!

AMD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834317597&cm_re=lenovo_1TB-_-34-317-597-_-Product

INTEL: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834317598&cm_re=lenovo_1TB-_-34-317-598-_-Product

Usually when gaming, a 17" is preferable as desktop monitors are usually about 21" or so. But his laptop has only 4GB of RAM, but the ones you listed has 6GB. However you can upgrade it by bringing it to a store or do it yourself.

Anyways, so here's the laptop.

But if you don't mind paying a bit extra for the bang and power. Then this will be helpful. ;)

Yeah, the one you posted is actually better. However it is refurbished and some people wouldn't like it. But if you don't mind, then it is worth the money. :)

Between HP and Lenovo, it has to be HP. Although Lenovo has great warranty but most of its computers are not design for gaming except for a few exceptions (Y510p, Y50). But HP are great computers and are pretty reliable.

Anyways, this is your choice so I'll leave it here. :)

Great that is better one. I really hope I can help you find the computers but I am not in America therefore my computers I fond I mostly not U.S. But anyways, that's an excellent laptop for the price and will play the games you want to. :)
