Quick question, parents just bought 2 laptops

A lenovo ideapad 300 with an intel core i5 plus amd radeon r5 m330 and a dell latitude e5440 with an intel core i7 plus a nvidia gefore GT 720m

Which should i pick ?

Probably gonna use them to play dota 2, league or skyrim if possible. And if possible gonna record some footage for Youtube. Think they can handle old games like witcher 1 and 2 or can they play some slightly newer games
 
They are pretty similar in overall performance based on some benchmarks in the link below. I included the integrated Intel HD 520 graphics core in the Lenovo Ideapad 300 as well as the more recent Intel HD 620 / UHD 620 graphics cores. The difference between the HD 620 and UHD 620 is that UHD 620 have revised to improved playback of 4k videos.

They should all be able to play Skyrim with default settings at 1366x768 resolution. The SkyrimPref.ini file allows you to tweak the graphic settings to improve performance such as the ability to totally disable shadows (can't do that in the game's menu). You should google how to do so. There are also mods available to improve performance at https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim.
