There are a couple mid-range laptops I'm looking at, they're both 17.3" since I need a big enough screen and 1600x900 is better than 1366x768 and I plan to do all sorts of things on it including using MS Office/LibraOffice, video streaming, and some gaming such as SimCity, Sims 3/4, Planetside 2, Insurgency, Guild Wars 2, perhaps Assetto Corsa and other racing games- not really any graphics intense games like Battlefield or such.
The question is will I see that big of a difference between the integrated 8610G vs the R7 M260. And I'm itching to just pay $100 less but then I may regret it later, I hate decisions sometimes.
Laptop 1: AMD A10 5745M, 8610G iGPU, 8GB RAM, Windows 8.1 $699 CDN
Laptop 2: Intel i5 4210U, AMD R7 M260 2GB, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 $799 CDN
^ I have another 4GB DDR stick I can throw in.
