First of all, I would like to thank you for your responds and the fact that you have answered most of my queries!
Will the GTX 950m be able to run Star Wars: Battlefront in the medium settings at least?
It cannot do so unless you choose a very coarse screen resolution. The bare minimum card, a DESKTOP version of the GTX 660, cannot run SW: BF at high resolution and medium graphics.
I see :/
I have recently seen two gaming laptops and I would like to ask your opinion regarding which one is better for gaming (and especially for Star Wars :Battlefront)
The specs of the first one is:
Intel Core i7-4720HQ 2.60 GHz 6 MB
8 GB - DDR3
AMD Radeon R9 M265X 2 GBBlu-ray Super-Multi Drive
The second's specs are:
Intel Core i7-6700HQ 2.6 GHz cache 6 MB
RAM 8 GB - DDR3
DVD SuperMulti Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 4 GBThe price is pretty much the same.Which one do you think is more capable of running Star Wars:Battlefront at medium settings?
Not being familiar with the Radeon R7 265, I'll have to do what you could have done already, run GPU Boss comparisons. I'll start with the R7 265 (desktop) vs the minimum Radeon (desktop) card, a desktop HD 7850 card, and return to edit my reply. .. and .. I do not have "good" news.

http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-265-vs-GeForce-GTX-950MThe desktop version would only be roughly equal to the minimum cards, which means LOW graphics with normal high resolution for a better card than the laptop version. Deduct anywhere between 15% and 25% of the performance, because laptop makers are so overly conscious of battery life that they really cripple graphics a lot, and you are not looking at a laptop equal to a "Medium" graphics capability.
I'll repeat a common mantra: laptops are an ecological wasteland product, not "green" in any way, shape, or form. They are uneconomical, have terrible keyboards, and cannot be properly upgraded when they promptly go obsolete. They must be constantly replaced, and recovering either the precious metals or the rare earths they contain isn't possible with a profit.
A stationary computer need not take up large amounts of space in a crowded room. You can equip a mid-tower with gaming components for 50 to 60 percent of the cost of a gaming class laptop, and upgrade it a couple of times, then when it's six to eight years old, it CAN be a profitable option to recover at least the gold plating off its various connectors.
The results of the comparison between two laptop graphic cards:
Radeon and GeForce

According to the of GPU Boss site, GeForce beats Radeon.
