The HP has no dedicated GPU and video ram.

The old machine looks to have the Intel X3100. The new seems to have the newer 4500MHD.

Small world, I had a laptop with the 4500MHD and it would do 1080p video on the HDTV fine. Gaming? Not so much.

It's not much of a step up. I'll write about 10% better. And as you can see by the game results, not good enough for that.

League doesn't need that much power, especially on some of the lower settings.
I can't help you if it NEEDS to be a laptop, but a PC that runs league should only cost around 300 or less.
