Choosing a Laptop

[InfluenceIRL]

So I am going to college this coming September, and I am currently looking at two different laptops. I am probably going to be Programming, Browsing the internet, some movies, and Gaming.

(Games like; WoW, League of Legends, Skyrim, etc.)

Here are the two Laptops I am choosing from. They are both on special starting tomorrow.

Laptop #1: Link to Store[/

Resolution: 1366 x 768
CPU: A8 APU 4500m Quad Core
RAM: 8GB DDR3 SDRAM
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7640G + 7670M (2gb dedicated video memory) dual switchable graphics

Price: $569.99

Laptop #2: Link to Store

Resolution: 1366 x 768
CPU: A10 APU 4600m
RAM: 8GB SDDR3 RAM
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7660G graphics

Price: $529.99

Questions:

Tell me if you know anything about Duel Switchable Graphics, like does it usually have a lot of problems?

How much of a difference would it make on games to go from a 7670m(2gb) to a 7660g but have an a10 instead of the a8?

Laptop 2 sounds like the better laptop with the all new A10 mobile apu.

The first laptop will be faster as it has the 7670M Discrete card. But I wold go with the second one because it is cheaper and it will have less trouble of graphics switching thing.
