Im looking for a Laptop for someone who wants it to be reliable, fast and have great build quality.
Itll be bought either from the PC World stores in the UK, Amazon UK or Ebay UK.

The Laptop should preferably be a Windows 7 one. Unfortunately I cant find lots of them.

My other requirements are a Core i5 3rd generation with integrated graphics OR a Core i5 2nd generation with a dedicated graphic card.

I had a few questions too:
Will the integrated HD4000 graphics be good enough if Im not planning to play any games on it or will it bottleneck the CPU's performance?
Im not sure if thats even possible but still.

Here are a few ones Ive shortlisted : Lenovo Z580 , Dell Inspiron 15R

Any other suggestions?
If no, which one out of these two will be better? Please note the Laptop should last a while (3-4 years)

And I need to buy it ASAP(2-3 Days MAX.) so please help me out!
Thankyou. :-D

The models are evenly matched, except the Lenovo has more RAM. From my personal experience the Lenovo will have better build quality than the 15R and will have a far better audio set up through Dolby. I would suggest the Lenovo over the Dell

HD4000 is good enough if you dont plan high level gaming

Lenovo Z580. I have one and its awesome. :D
And HD 4000 is great. You can play latest games in it. It plays skyrim with no lag.
