Okay, I initially had my heart set on
Flipkart.com: Page Not found
But sadly I can't find it anywhere :(

Will the lenovo one be similar in performance?

I'd say similar if not better.

as for the 2 gb RAM, add another 2 gb stick to make it total 4 GB.

The G510 is available while NP300E5V is OOS :lol:
also the 8750M in NP300E5V is 1 GB DDR3 version not the 2 GB DDR5 one :(

given the @op's requirements, he should buy a better CPU (haswell vs ivy bridge) instead of a fractionally better GPU.

G510 also has 2 USB 3.0 + 1 USB 2.0 ports compared to 3 USB 2.0 ports in NP300E5V

+1 to Samsung.
Even though Haswell is slightly better than Ivy Bridge, 8750m is a huge boost over 8570m.
Also
-1 to Shamesung after sales service.
Proceed with caution.

The DDR3 version is higher clocked than DDR5.Therefore they both despite being DDR3 and DDR5 versions,offering the same performance.

HD 8570 is class 3 card while Radeon HD 8750 is a class 2 card.

Also Haswell has very little advantage in terms of performance boost over Ivy Bridge say 10%

It's a shame you can't overclock trash AMD laptops cards. Nvidia supports unmodified OC.

So the hd 8570 is less powerful than even the 820m?
If so, how about this one?

Guys how about this one

Buy Lenovo Z50-70 59420313 15.6-inch Laptop (Silver) with Laptop Bag Online at Low Prices in India - Amazon.in

1.7GHz Intel Core i5 processor
4GB DDR3 RAM
1TB Hard drive
2GB Nvidia N15S GT DDR3 = NVIDIA GeForce 840M

As per notebook check,

According to our benchmarks, the GeForce 840M is about 30 percent faster than the old GT 740M and just slightly behind a GeForce GT 750M (DDR3 version). Many games of 2013/2014 can be played fluently in WXGA resolution (1366 x 768) and medium or high detail settings. However, very demanding games such as Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4 will require lower resolutions and/or details.
