Not really, if one considers thr gaming benchmarks on notebookcheck,820m still has some juice(because nvidia likes to overclock its cards) whereas 8570m is just plain bad.

Just look at 3D Mark 11 performance which measures DirectX 11 gaming performance.
*www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-8570M.86985.0.html
*www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-820M.108477.0.html

They differ by 1 point.
The poor benchmarks of games is because it was always tested with a very weak "U" CPU which could happen with the 820m also if the OP decides to buy the Dell Vostro.

I guess the processor means a lot, and as per notebookcheck , there isnt godly difference between the two GPU. Still confused :p

I would recommend the Lenovo. Go for whichever you find best.

I guess processor would matter more while rendering videos, i most probably wont be playing many games, concentrating more on After effects, photoshop and lightroom. Multitasking is required. Its cause of the limitations of my previous laptop due to which i wasn't able to explore more of After effects, which really fascinated me. Waiting 4-5hrs for a 5 min video to render, just to find it useless, was disappointing.

Games if BlackOps2 works fine, then im fine with it, since that's one game where my older laptop bottomed out. I tend to go back to older games like Max Payne etc. BTW, would Max Payne 3 work ?

how come so cheap? The local store a** called me up just now to tell that this is not in stock, and that it has been discontinued ( i call BS on this ). He asked me to go with s510p and told it has the same config, slimmer and 2k costlier.

I guess ill be going with Snapdeal? Is it ok to buy from them? Cause lenovo.com/in/en say that these shops arent authorized resellers on their homepage. Hence im a bit skeptical.

Also can you help me get the price down for the same?

not sure about the "authorise reseller" problem
the time i bought that lkaptop, it was priced at 41276 ( + or - few bucks)
a new year offer reduced it to 39.982k ( + or - few bucks) and a further discount coupon of 3 percent brought it to 37782 bucks.

but if it is discontinued, cant be sure.
the s510p is thinner. and if you can loose out on the grafics card, its available for 35.79k on flipkart : *www.flipkart.com/lenovo-ideapad-s5...=b_3&ref=3aeab49b-01ea-4b8a-add0-10159241a3ba

but this doesn't have a graphics card


BTW, flipkart shows the webcam on G510 as 720p HD, believe me, it sucks. its not more than 0.3 MP

Just on a side note, if you want the "best performing laptop" within 40k then you can buy this:
*www.snapdeal.com/product/lenovo-g510-59398411-laptop-4th/1805117198
and replace CPU with a core i7 4702MQ which costs as low as 10k.
