Cheers 8-|
 
Firstly: Always, always read as many user reviews as possible, some laptop models have design/manufacturing flaws. Asus are generally pretty good, no idea about Cosmos.

Both PCs have 950m graphics cards - enough to play FM but not more graphically intense games well.

Laptop 2 is better based purely on specs:

CPU is bit better - 6300HQ is Quad core vs dual core (big difference, wouldn't buy a quad core if you intend to play newer games)
Display is IPS - this is a huuge bonus. After getting an IPS I don't think I can go back to a normal LED.
Storage is 250GB SSD which is good (always have FM on the SSD) BUT - that is the only storage you have, so not much space if you plan to have lots of videos etc.
 
Cheers, I've actually went for this below, as for space for videos etc, I use an external hard drive with all that on it so should be plenty, I'm not fussed about playing any other games really just FM and want to be able to load a fair amount of leagues up
