Any significant performance differences between these 2?

I'm looking for a new laptop in the £600-700 range and have come across these two:

Medion Erazer P6661
Intel Core i7-6500U Dual Core (2.5GHz, 4MB Cache, Intel Turbo Boost Up To 3.1GHz)
8GB (DDR3 1600MHZ)
128GB SSD
1000GB
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 950M with 4GB DDR3L Dedicated Memory

StormForce Wildfire
Intel Core i7 6700HQ - 2.6 GHz
8 GB RAM
1TB Hard Drive + 128GB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GT940


Neither of them are brands I know much about so I guess the first question would be whether people had any experience with either of them and if so, would they recommend them. Assuming they're not both terrible, do people think there would be much of a difference in actual performance? The specs are pretty similar and I'm not really that sure how much performance varies between the different processors and gfx cards etc. I was told that the Medion would probably be better for gaming and the StormForce would be better for video editing etc but I was actually hoping to be able to do a bit of both to be honest so not really sure if one is a better all rounder than the other. Any advice appreciated.
 
Cheers for the input. As far as gaming goes, the most advanced game I've got is BF4 but I'm not too worried about running it on max settings. Having said that, it would be nice to have a bit of future proofing. Are you saying that it's unlikely I'd notice any difference between the CPUs (as far as gaming goes at least) as the gfx cards are always going to be the limiting factor? I've been keeping an eye out for a while now but haven't really come up with many options in this price range... but maybe I'm not looking in the right places.
