I have been looking for a laptop for more extensive gaming. I have really only owned low end intel laptops without any sort of discrete graphics cards. I have only been using my desktop and am very familiar with pairings for cpu and gpu on the desktop side.

I am however not really sure in the laptop side I have been looking into tons of pairings from several manafactures. Here are the few that's standing out to me the most.

There is an acer with the a-10 7300. And 12gb ram. No SSD. The A-10 appears to meet a lot of the minimums for gaming than some other gpu I have looked at but the cpu benchmarka itself seem kind of low compared to other choices.

The other is a lenovo with a i7-4510 and 820m graphics pairing this one has a hybrid setup with small cache SSD. 8gb ram

The other is a toshiba satellite with an i7-4510. With a radeon graphics. I am still trying to find from the seller which one because I am unsure the exact chip. But this one has 1tb no ssd and 12b ram. This I7 appears to be code but I hear isn't as good at power intensive task as I may do some minor video editting.

There are other pairings I have seen too but there's so much out there I don't need 1080p at full ultra with 60 fps for my laptop just something that can put up its own at 720p with decent to mid settings.

Please help.

No I'm really looking at acer and lenovo pretty heavily right now. I was looking at a msi gaming laptop but after reading reviews i guess that particular model tends to break at the charging port.

Acer has a refurb with a i7 3632qm, 8gb ram, 1tb hdd, nvidia 850m for $519.
