time for the OGs to return

Define "OG"

I'd define you as OG.

Most of them disppeared with the release of the weird-ass ban rules to remove us from here.
I specially miss Le Pijon Team. That board was pure fun for everyone until someone got mad for not being accepted in the board.

Good times. Everything else is irrelevant.

Looks smooth as fuck.

Only problem is shes with a guy twice her age that sings for Nickelback 

I don't understand the hate for Nickelback. They have some pretty good songs.

I know people that hate nickelback yet haven't heard any of their songs.

It's just one of the many hate-wagons.

The pretty reckless? 

Yes, sir!

I hope my new laptop can handle it at low.

I... I just don't even at this point.

My small input here:

Intel CPUs and GPUs tend to run cooler than AMD (my experience) so unless you have a way to keep the AMD cool, then you will have a hell of a time trying to run demanding games as the AMD will get hot and start lagging.

I've never had much experience with AMD stuff (except this CPU I currently have which, even though it's super shitty, it can run some games), but I've always been happy with Intel things so far. I don't really have a preference, just whatever runs games better.

From what I've seen so far in terms of gameplays and bechmarks, the second laptop outperforms the first one.

Number #2

The Intel CPU is better than the AMD one. The i5 is a dual core, but it has hyperthreading.
The 840m is going to be about the same or slightly better than the R7 265.
6GB of RAM is probably enough and you might be able to upgrade that if you really needed to.

What I originally thought is that the CPU would be weaker since it had 1.7GHz and being a dual-core. I have seen plenty of benchmarks with the first laptop and they were sort-of good, didn't see any "high-end" benchmarks on the second one, though.

For games overall laptop #2 since it has a better video card, RAM won't be a bottleneck (not for me atleast).
For Source games (CPU intensive) laptop #1.

I'll mainly play CSGO (yes, finally surpm), possibly GTA V (depending on the specs), and other games which don't really ask for much.

Laptop 2.

Thanks but, based on what? I'd also appreciate some opinions on why Laptop X is better than Laptop Y.

[Laptop 1 (599€):]

I got two laptops I can afford so I can play while away from home, but don't know which one can be the best in terms of performance, so I'm here to get some opinions/help on which one I should get.

Laptop 1 (599€):

Acer E5-551G-F361

• AMD FX-7500 (Quad-Core) - 2.1GHz, Boost 3.3GHz
• Radeon R7 265 (2GB)
• 8GB RAM
• 500GB HDD

Laptop 2 (599€):

Acer E5-571G-57D9

• Intel Core i5-4210U (Dual-Core) - 1.7GHz, Boost 2.7GHz
• NVIDIA GeForce 840M (2GB)
• 6GB RAM
• 500GB HDD

I've heard the first laptop is decent for gaming, but also heard that the second one is better, mainly because it has a better GPU.
I'd appreciate your opinion on which one I should get for this price. I saw another one for 745€, but I'm saving up the rest of the money for other stuff, mainly desktop parts. Thanks.
