Which laptop should I buy which would be decent to run games like Ark, H1z1 Black Ops 3 and maybe some other popular games? I am open to laptop suggestions with a budget off 800£

Laptop 1
Asus GL551JW-WH71 15.6" i7 4720HQ 2.6-3.6GHz 2GB GTX 960M (Windows 10 / 1TB HDD / 8GB RAM / DVDRW)

Laptop 2
Asus GL552JX 15.6-Inch Laptop Notebook (Intel Core i7-4720HQ 2.6 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 750 GB HDD + 128GB SSD, Webcam, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M, Windows 8.1) with Free Windows 10 Upgrade

Laptop 3
Lenovo Z51 FHD 15.6-inch Laptop Notebook (Intel Core i7-5500U, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB+8 GB SSHD, DVDRW, WLAN, BT Camera, AMD R9 4 GB Graphics, Windows 10 Home) - Black

Any help here?

I actually have an Asus extremely close to the first one you have, it's an GL551JW-DS74, the biggest difference between ours is that mine has double your RAM. I can run black ops 3 on medium and fallout 4 on medium, so that can give you an estimate on where you're looking at. The first laptop may give you good frame rate on low?

Yeah I'm impressed with what my laptop can run, but when my laptop is plugged in it can run games like 2x better for some reason.

So you'd recommend the first one? As long as it can run the game smooth and with decent graphics I'm fine with it lol

Sorry, I'm at work so I can't respond quickly. I don't know if I should recommend it because idk how the 8g of the RAM difference can affect gameplay. I'm not a professional at computers so you should ask someone else who comments or suggests on this thread.

Why would you buy a laptop for gaming?.. You could build a much better PC for cheaper and just get a cheap laptop on the side if you need one.

He already stated that he doesnt have room, read the post. I would think the last one looks the best because the GPU, but laptop parts are not my cliche. All I know is the 950 is gonna be garbage and the 960 isnt much better, but I dont know what specific AMD card is either. Unfortunately laptops are much higher price performance.
