Or maybe I could persuade any local dealer to exchange the hdd with 1TB by taking few bucks.
BTW how is the keyboard and touchpad quality?

I have used My roommate laptop Lenovo g500s.which has pathetic keyboard, the keyboard feels very weak and it got pressed inside when applied little pressure. It feels very fragile, does the g510 comes with same type of keyboard?

BTW Intel Core i7 4500U vs i5 4200M .So Asus XX50LD-XX028D could be considered as an equivalent in terms of performance(except graphics ) ?

I'm going for ASUS X550LD XX028D, because i5 4200M is just slightly greater than i7 4500u.But power consumption and heat emmison is very less in asus one,which is good for long run of CPU.And g510 has a weaker gpu than this one.
Another reason is I have tried using the softwares (that I'm going to run )on my friend's laptop which has i5 4200u CPU with 6gb ram ,Nvidia 720M ,and it runs smoothly, So that's why I'm going for a little more better CPU, because I know My needs.

It got great display. Would be good for watching movies but,the graphic card 820m is an entry level card which could handle games in low or medium resolution, but 1920x1080 would be too much for that card, it'll play at very low fps( frames per second) ,that would not be much enjoyable.

There's also a HD version of this laptop with 840m @ 43k. Wish there was 840m instead of 820m in FHD Version.
