    I am looking for a relatively cheap gaming laptop, with decent battery life. I am also looking to play Crusader Kings 2.
    Crusader Kings II System Requirements | Crusader Kings 2

    My budget is no more than $1000, preferably $800-900.

    Nevertheless, what would be the better choice, or what would be an even better option. Ive found both laptops for around $800-900 on various websites, however, will they be able to play Crusader Kings 2?

    Battery life of 3-5+ hrs is sufficient for me.
