These two the laptops I have on my list, which of these do you guys think is best for gaming?
#1
Acer E5-573G
Intel Core i7-5500U, NVIDIA GeForce 920M (2 GB), 12 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, 15.6", Windows 8.1
#2
Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-70
Intel Core i5-4210U, NVIDIA GeForce GT 840M (4 GB), 6 GB RAM, 8 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD, 15.6", Windows 8.1
Acer
The Acer has an absolutely useless GPU (920M), whereas the Lenovo has a somewhat useless GPU (840M). Don't know why they even included a GPU in the Acer's case. Neither will be spectacular at games. But if you have to get something for gaming, then the Lenovo will do better.
However, in every other respect, non-gaming, the Acer will be better. The Lenovo looks like it has a hybrid SSHD drive, which is partly SSD and partly HDD. That does make a slight difference for performance.
