I will have to buy a notebook for university stuff and beeing abroad soon, and i wanted it to be EVE capable. Biggest issue, have a guess, will be the price. I dont need multiboxing or high details. Smallgang pvp and some missionrunning will do.
For the non-EVE requirements i favour performance. I'm fine with sacrificing batterie and weight. Windows 7 available, so not needed either.


Without a lot of insight into Computers i narrowed myself down to these 2 (excuse the strange language in the links):

HP 350 G1 K7J02ES (380€)
i5-4210U
Radeon 8670M

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 540 20C600J4GE (400€)
i3-4000M
Intel HD 4600

The i3 appears to be faster compared to the i5 (no idea why that would be).
The internet seems to favour the AMD over the Intel GPU though.
What to pick?

PS.: If you got links to better offers for the same money i wont say no either. And if for some reason EVE isnt running on these specs let me know plz-
Thanks in advance
