Best Choice for a new laptop (need your help)

[Elias-Khair]

Hello everyone, yesterday I posted a topic about buying a new laptop on a budget, and I finally narrowed down my choices between three laptops, therefore i want you to tell me which one is the best.
PS: I'm not a "hardcore" gamer but sometimes i would like to play on it like Fifa,pes,and maybe some call of duty.

here is my choices:
1) 

Acer Laptop Aspire E5-573G-56RG 

• Intel Core i5 5200U (2.20 GHz)
• 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD
• NVIDIA GeForce 940M 4 GB
• 1920 x 1080

2) 

ASUS X550ZA

• AMD A10-7400P 2.5 GHz Processor
• 8 GB DDR3L SDRAM
• 1TB HDD Storage; DL DVD±RW/CD-RW
• 15.6 inches 1366*768 pixels LED-lit Screen

 

3) 

Toshiba 15.6" Satellite L55D-B5320

• Satellite L55D-B5320 Laptop PC A10-7300 8GB 1TB DVDRW WiFi BT 15.6" Windows 8.1 - Satin Gold

 

please give me your opinion about the best one and if you have any other suggestion please give it to me but make sure it is under 600$ 
Thanks in advance

@Elias-Khair Include prices of each laptop please?

I am leaning towards ASUS X550ZA just because of the A10's iGPU which is "not to bad" compared to others. However have not looked at benchmarks so don't bash.

but the acer one specs destroy it. if not in gpu and resolution alone

And the Acer one overheats.

[The Official Czex]

The Acer one will have thermal issues, but its specs are far superior to the AMD based laptops... However, the iGPU is better on OP's two AMD choices...

[Mohenjo]

And the Acer one overheats.

cooling pads bro, its a comprise for the better specs. i mean an i5 and a 940m. plus if he doesn't want it to overheat he can simply use low power to disable the GPU

OH shieeet. Did not see 940M had 4GB of VRAM. 

 

Yeah I think ACER/ASUS

[Elias-Khair]

But a lot of people told me the the amd a10 is better than the core i5 for gaming.

How is he supposed to play CoD with a laptop that cooks itself to death?

[don_svetlio]

But a lot of people told me the the amd a10 is better than the core i5 for gaming.

A10 is a quad core, i5 is a dual core - in this case - A10 might be better since "U" chips are ultra-low voltage meaning slower.

i dont see anyone on the newegg reviews complaining about thermal issues. 

[legopc]

Second hand t430 with i7 and dGPU will give better/same specs as the ones you mentioned, has better build quality, is cheaper, doesnt overheat and its a better laptop overall. (if you must have a 15" laptop then get a t530 or w530 if you want better specs) 

[Mohenjo]

again, i dont see any complaints on reviews. a couple on windows and and most on the trackpad.

 

also, how do you expect him to play COD on an igpu thats at like the same level as hd 4600?

I think laptop wise (and CPU wise) the AMD A10 will be better. Because of cores. And maybe if you have low heat you can overclock the RAM to get better FPS. (because the iGPU is very dependent on memory speed)

[Mohenjo]

A10 is a quad core, i5 is a dual core - in this case - A10 might be better since "U" chips are ultra-low voltage meaning slower.

the a10 does have more cores, but for what he wants. the i5 will be faster because it has faster cores 

[don_svetlio]

The 5200U has cores clocked at half the desktop equivalent - not that fast.

[Mohenjo]

The 5200U has cores clocked at half the desktop equivalent - not that fast.

yet, the i5 still outperforms it. the apus are no where near as fast as there desktop counterparts either

at least this one anyway. its like the gt 730 of CPUs

As i said before im not a hardcore gamer i suggest that i play cod butin the end i may not. Im the kind of person that i do a lot o researches for college. Therefore sometimes i may open like more than 10 tabs and a couple office programs. In that what do think ?
