I need your help guys!

I'm about to buy a laptop however I'm not sure which one to get out of these two.

I want to use it for mainly playing WoW and Guild wars 2 when that comes out, I want the bigger screen but don't know if the 15.6inch will be big enough. Also, do I really need an i7 processor? 

Also I know this is the wrong forum to discuss this however I'm getting it today and need a quick response.

i7 or i5 is less important than GRAPHIC CARD.  Ofc better cpu play a role but lesser than graphic card.

 

This is most important for gaming especially in laptop as usually you cannot replace graphic card for better model (and even if this is very costly).

 

So you want laptop with best possible graphic card you can afford.

 

As for GW2 afaik no technical requirements are known so hard to hard / impossible to tell what kind of PC it will need to run smooth on f.e. high details.

No.  Neither.  Check your other thread.
