what do you want to do with said laptop? gaming, web browsing, editing or something else

[vladNMP]

gaming. looking for last titles and i can live with low-medium settings

in my opinion, you should get the one with the 960m. usually takes more GPU power than cpu. and remember to quote people so they can see your reply

wait for the new 10 series laptops? or are they out of budget?

if that is the 6300HQ cpu then I would go for that one as the 960m is slightly faster and should be able to do medium to high if needed

 

But get someone else to check it as well and make sure that my recommendation is actually the one you want, already see

The 960m should perform better than the 950m but lmao you should get Pascal

An SSHD is a hard drive with an SSD cache built in. In this case, a 1TB hard drive with a 8Gig SSD cache.

An SSHD is faster than a bare HDD, but no as good as a pure SSD.
