First one
I5-7200u upto 3.10 Ghz, 8gb DDR4, 1TB HDD, 4GB Nvidia Geforce 940mx, win 10
Second one: I7-8550u upto 4.0Ghz, 8gb DDR4, 2GB Nvidia 940Mx, win 10
Both laptops have 1080p displays.
In need it for flight simulation, precisely X-plane 11.
I did a quick research on game debate and i7 turns out to be a winner. But the 4gb Gpu has me confused. P.s I am really aware these specs cannot run xp11 perfectly, but this is all I can buy with my hardwork and my budget, so it is my humble request not to disregard my preference.
Hoping for your kind response at the earliest
Regards

Here is a link to the minimum and recommended systems requirements for x-plan 11 https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-11-system-requirements/

Looks like the I7 you picked may work at the minimum but not the I5, Game is CPU intensive
