Laptop choices

You're facing two problems here. First a notebook is not made for high performance tasks like hashcat. If they are not especially made for gaming stuff they will usually tend to overheat. Second those "graphic cards" are AMD APUs, so the graphics unit is build into the CPU. That does not guarantee the highest performance like a dedicated GPU. I have a Kaveri A10-7850 desktop system which I use from time to time with oclhashcat. I delivers 1900 MH/s in MD5, check out the performance table on oclhashcat, that's not too shabby but then it's also not very much compared to dedicated GPUs. And it's a) overclocked, b) a smoothly cooled desktop system and c) a Kaveri A10. All your notebooks above will only deliver a fraction of its performance. And that's really poor.

So if you really want to do hashcat with a laptop, you should go with a dedicated GPU und the thing should have a sufficient cooling system. But that's the problem, cause you won't know it until you've tried it out and no hasrdware test stresses notebooks like hashcat does. So if you read in a review a notebook is already getting warm and/or noisy, it'll not be your favorite.

That said, this is no easy call to decide. I would not buy any of those above if oclhashcat should be one application target.
