So I'm thinking of buying decent laptop for working remotely in cases am not able to show to work, and for low - mid gaming such as Dota 2 , Leage of Legends , maybe Need for speed most wanted online and some old games, as I already have gaming desktop.

I read mixed reviews about the below laptop spec, So I cant decide as I'm more of a desktop guy.
Dell Inspiron 5559
CPU: i5 6200U
GPU: AMD M330 2 GB DDR3
4GB Ram DDR3
Display: 15.6 inch LED Backlit Display with Truelife and HD resolution (1366 x 768)



Or Lenovo G 50 70
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4510U Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz)
• Memory: 4GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory
• Graphics Module: Intel HD Graphics 4400
Display: 15.6" HD (1366x768) HD LED Display

thanks

Even though I prefer lenovo generally, I must go with the Dell, the 6th gen i5 is slightly faster, has better integrated gpu and not to mention the m330 is way better than the hd 4400. The hd4400 struggles even with dota2, while the m330 will be able to run it at least decently. However you have to consider at least 6gbs of ram, I'd advice going for 8gb (costs like 30$ more but you will need it).

Both will run Dota 2.

Go with the first laptop you mentioned, better specs :)

Generally speaking, Laptop vs Desktop: $500 Desktop = $1,000 Laptop. (same specs)

If you don't need to move around lots, desktop is just amazing.

Also for future reference, if you're curious if certain parts of your computer can run a game go here:

http://www.game-debate.com/

Type in the part, for example "AMD M330 2 GB DDR3"

It'll bring up a couple options, click your one.

Scroll down a bit, look for "Can I run it? "

Type in the game you're curious about, "dota 2"

And it'll tell you :)
