I would need reply as soon as possible , as i have to decide very fast.

The question is : from gaming aspect , is there much difference between E9Y44EA vs HOV97EA. Both are HP probook 450.

i7 4702MQ 2.20GHz ,15.6" LED HD 1366 x 768, AntiGlare ,AMD Radeon HD8750M 2GB ,ram 2x 4GB DDR3 1600MHz ,hdd 1TB

vs

i5-3230M (2,6 - 3,2 GHz) , (15,6") HD LED (1366x768) mat , ram 4 GB DDR3 , Radeon™ HD 8750M, 2 GB , hdd 750 GB

Difference in price is around 200e , so question is , is it worth to buy i7-4702MQ , looking only from gaming aspect , as both laptops have same VGA ?

YES look at RAM! go with the one you listed first! enjoy! :D (had to answer fast lol)

EDIT: from the gaming aspect the first one is much better, every part it has is either the same or better, (CPU/RAM, mainly) 8Gb is practically a must for today's gaming, it looks like a really good laptop, so yeah the one you put the specs first is the one you should go for

For the processor no... HOWEVER the one with the i7 has 8GB of RAM which you will need for playing games. Also the screen res for both of those are really low. I'd look for at least 1600x900 if not 1920x1080. Thats just my opinion.

Get the i7. It has the same turbo speed as the i5 and more threads. Newer games will use more threads. If you decide you don't play a lot of games using hyperthreading, you can always turn it off. Also, the i7 has twice the cache which always helps performance all around and you get twice the RAM. If it's in your budget, get the i7.

seems to be overall the better CPU (unless they are different versions, which i doubt because Intel is pretty standart)

You should be able to play those games and the way they will run will depend on optimization, it is not a bad card for a laptop if you ask me, now compared to desktops ones it may fall a bit behind...do you have any other options of laptops? or a budget so you can buy one?

also please tell if the card is DDR3 or GDDR5 if you have the link for the first laptop all the better

EDIT= nevermind i just looked it up, it is the DDR3 version, so please just answer the questions on the first paragraph if you can xD

Hmm...the DDR3 memory gives me doubts, the card may not perform very good because of that, laptops are not my thing either, desktops are always better at gaming for half the price, but if you need a laptop, i would buy the one with the i7, you an ask for more people's opinions on the matter if you would preffer to do so
