Hi! new to this section of TL, so if i'm posting this in the wrong place, please let me know
As the title says, I'm looking for a new laptop for gaming, one with a budget of 600-800 dollars. I know a desktop would be much better for gaming, but that's not an option right now.
I play a lot of Sc2, so i'm looking for a laptop that can run it at medium-high settings.
I7 processor would be preferred, but if it can run games like Starcraft 2, Csgo, WoW, etc. then i'm fine
These are the two that i'm looking at now (these are ones that look ok so far, i am more then open to looking at other options

Disclaimer: i am really inexperienced don't know a lot about when it comes to computers, so i don't know if these suck, or if there is an obvious better choice that i haven't seen yet.
Thank you so much in advance.

I7 processor would be preferred
i7 isn't always better than i5, especially when talking cross-gen or with things like low power designated parts

errr, i don't really know what that stuff means (really really tech dumb)
But thanks
Edit: but while you're responding to my post, would you also take a second to say if you also think the lenovo y40 laptop is an good option if you need a gaming laptop for under 800?

It's probably one of the better ones you're going to get. $800 is not really high enough to buy a high-performance laptop. It's probably the equivalent of buying a gaming desktop for $400.

I don't know about radeon graphics on laptops, usually stuff is either apu+radeon or intel+nvidia AFAIK
and a $400 desktop is honestly preferable for some games over an $800 laptop^ ;p

the M275 is comparable to something between 755M and 760M for Nvidia, which will play more or less all the game he listed at high or better. The laptop is also only like 5 pounds so its also actually functional as an actual laptop

Hi Guys I just registred and since I dont wanna wait 3 days I gave my qeustion a shot here.
Can I stream Starcraft 2 using this laptop: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/385668/asus-n56jn-cn038h/specificaties/ with 41 mb/s dl and 9mb/s upload. If so, any idea how much fps I will have and what the quality is on stream?
I will be grateful for any help anyone can provide.

You could make a stream with decent resolution/FPS and good quality, but you would have to run with lower settings and might take a really big performance hit from streaming. It's better to have a dedicated GPU with gddr5 memory but i'm not sure how much of an effect it has (840m has only ddr3 which is much worse)
FPS is hard to say, because on my CPU i saw ~800fps at the very start of game with camera looking at some random place (usually less but like 500), but also under 10 in some very extreme circumstances involving many hundreds of units, missile turrets etc. Since there is no good benchmark for sc2, you need to compare against something generally, or in a very specific situation.. and i'm also not sure how much of a performance hit there would be from streaming on it
