    Hello, I'm looking for a laptop that I can use for school, but also run some steam games/minecraft on it. With the help of @Thecreator767 and several internet pages, I've managed to file it down to two laptops, before getting into the real technical stuff. That's why I'm here.

    Below is a link to the two laptops and their specifications side by side. If you have an opinion, or know what to look for/what would be best for me, please comment below. Thanks! :)

    None. Laptops suck.

    Between those two, the more expensive of the two is (obviously) better. It has dedicated graphics but the i7 makes no difference when playing Minecraft. If I were you, i'd spend that $750 on a desktop unless of course you need the laptop for school. If you build your own desktop you'll get a better computer for cheaper.

    I know that the more expensive one would most likely be better overall, I just wasn't sure if certain parts that wouldn't important for my uses are state-of-the-art or so. And sadly, I would have to purchase a laptop, a desktop wouldn't be of any use for me for multiple reasons. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    I'd get the one at 700. It has a better processor, and is overall a better Laptop IMO
