Laptop questions?!?!? 10 points !!?

I've been looking at computers for quite some time now and wanted someone to basically tell me how good these are and most importantly are they good enough to play sims 3 without a single problem on high settings. Links:

    the first link is much better, between the processor, RAM, and HDD you will be much better off. The video card on them is the same, so not much in difference of graphics other than the top one should run smoother. Go with the top one! I'm also glad to see someone going with a laptop other than Mac or Dell, good choice!

    P.S. I was very disappointed in Sims 3.

    The first one would work just fine and it will play the games just fine and if you are trying to keep the computer for awhile, always get the extended protection. You can look around and get it from somewhere else if you can't afford the entire thing at one time but before the manufacturer warranty wears out please add more .
