Try a CONSOLE or a DESKTOP unit....

Laptop... built in battery, therefore PORTABLE, like - can use on Train on journeys... but battery life DEPENDS on how little power you are using... like running COD on a train journey... you MIGHT get 15 minutes... or it can be used during Power failure (Brown outs). Same limitations on Power...
Also...
LIMITED chance of Graphics upgrades... so - NOT REALLY suitable for gaming,despite Manufacturers advertisements...

IF YOU ARE REALLY IN TO GAMING... You NEED a DESKTOP Unit...
Alternative Graphics cards just Click in, CPU can be Replaced with a more POWERFUL Chip... You could have a 54 inch 4k Monitor, not a fiddly 15 inch screen...
OR
A Console (like XBOX One, PS4)... linked to a 21 inch Plus Monitor...

Are you seeing a pattern here ?

A lifetime Laptop User... with TWO teenage Sons using DESKTOPS (they say there is better resolution with a PC than with their Console - which is now sitting gathering dust).

For a start... the Lenovo 8Gb is NOT a standalone Disk... it is part of the
Hybrid 500GB 5400 RPM+8GB SSHD...
It is a way of SPEEDING up that 500 Gb Hard drive - almost like having an 8Gb SUPERFAST chunk of RAM in which the programs are running...

Personally, given THAT choice in an Hard Drive - THAT is the one I WOULD GO FOR...
