Hi everyone!

I'm about to buy new laptop, and I can't decide! I have two options

1. MSI machine with AMD A10-5750M CPU and AMD RadeOn R9 M290X GPU

2. ASUS machine with Intel Core i7-4700HQ CPU and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M GPU

I mainly want to use it for gaming and everyday stuff. Personally I consider the AMD CPU way too weak to work well with that R9 M290X... But correct me if I'm mistaken! The two rigs are cost the same. And the MSI has 9 cells battery compared to the ASUS' 4 cells one. So I risk the fact that the ASUS machine would probably has far shorter battery life, than the MSI one.
Guys, I cannot decide! I'm not a professional, so all the advices are welcomed! :) Help me please! Wich option would you recommend me for gaimng, if You were me??

Many thanks in advance!

Very worth it. That is a much more balanced system than the two you posted previously.

Both builds are heavily unbalanced.
The first one would probably deliver bad-average performance in games and shit performance in non gpu intensive tasks.
The second one bad in games but great in non gpu intensive tasks.

I would search for more options, because for strictly gaming both of these are horrible. I7 + r9 m290x and a10 + 850m would be more appropriate setups to sell.
