Hello guys,

I have the following conundrum: I can get two very good deals about the abovementioned laptop - it is either an i3-6006U version with GPU NVidia 940MX 2Gb DD5 or a i5-7200U version with no GPU. I like the better processor but as I am a casual gamer, I have my doubts about integrated graphics (I am used to 1080p gaming). On the other hand my current laptop is with an Intel Core Duo T6500, which is not so far from the i3-6006U according to cpuboss despite of the eight years age.

So the question is - are the two models with different motherboards and power supplies? Is it possible to upgrade the CPU in the first case or add a GPU in the second?

edit: Finally I upp-ed my budget 20% and went for Acer F5-573-78we with an i7-7500U, NVidia GTX950 4Gb DDR5 and an upgrade extra 256GB SSD. The extra RAM is pending.
