I have to choose between these two computers.
The first one:
- Intel Core i7-4500U processor / 1.8/3.0 GHz
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M / 4 GB dedicated grafic
- 8 GB RAM / 1 TB (1000GB) HDD
AMD version
- AMD A10-5757M processor / 2.5/3.5 GHz /quadcore
- AMD Radeon HD 8750M / 2 GB dedicated
- 8 GB RAM / 1 TB (1000GB) harddisk (HDD)
- Touchscreen

The laptop is for gaming League of Legends, Call of duty and games like that.
Its also going to be used for producing music in software like Ableton and FL studio, which is quite a hard task for laptops.
And of course, i'm going to bring it to school.
I don't think i am going to the touchscreen, so don't mind that.
Help would be appreciated! :)

The first one is going to be better gaming due to the better video card. My friend just got an Acer Aspire V5 similar to the AMD one and it runs Skyrim on high just fine.

The first is more powerful. What are the prices on the laptops?

The price in my weird country is the exact same for the two laptops, and i can only choose between the Acers because it comes from a certain store that gives me a similar computer at a similar price range as compensation for my broken pc :)
 
I would go with the second one. I may be wrong (Correct me if I am ) but I know the A10 has the intergrated GPU which I know will cross fire with your dedicated GPU which I would imagine giving you a slight edge over the NVidia. Could be wrong but I am sure those two cross firing will give you a slight edge.

It's like the second one ^^. I can't find much info but I'd still have a guess the 750M is more powerful even with the Crossfire. That laptop in that link is nearly identical in specs to my friends and like I said, he runs Skyrim on high without much trouble.

I think either would be a good choice but the i7 will have better CPU performance and most likely similar, if not slightly better video performance.

First one.

CPU benchmarks from cpubenchmark.net
i7 = 3892
A10 = 3499

AMD Radeon HD 8750M review from notebookcheck.net
" The performance of the Radeon HD 8750M should be slightly below the GeForce GT 640M. Current and demanding games like Far Cry 3 should run (more or less) fluently in medium resolutions and detail settings. "

i.e. GT 750m > 8750m

Or is the A10 with dual GPU? like this

It's not the one with dual gpu, no.

Is it a big enough difference to make a call for the insurance company, and wait around a week? :)
 
The 5757M is an APU. So yes, it has dual graphics cards.

What does your insurance have to do with it?
