Most of the games use GPU to render graphics and CPU is not that much used so i5 variant will be just fine. After all you may not need the amount of power i7 provides but if you are looking for a truely powerful machine or your work load is more CPU intensive than go with i7 variant.

Congrats. Did they by any chance mention if the +2 year extra warranty is applicable on all range of laptops bought from dostore or just the y510p?

I had to call their toll free number for another query, and I asked which models would have the extended warranty offer
its the z500 i7 model , and y510p i5 & i7 models. If you buy these from lenovo dostore then you get extra 2 years warranty free.

Wowwatttt?
Lucky...that makes it even....retailers selling at 73k and dostore offering 2yrs extra warranty at atleast 3k price.....makes it 76k...I think dostore is the best option then...
**confirm....is the accidental coverage also for 2yrs?
I still got my 2yr extended warranty from last year y500...can they transfer to this year's y510p...???

Snapdeal is gud website...but dont trust them for such a expensive product and also to mention warranty issues.
about the used laptop delivered...not sure what could have gone wrong except lenovo shipping out a refurbished laptop to snapdeal and the same going to customer...thats actually possible in india only

i think this is something that i am looking since agesI want to upgrade to 8.1 but ms store is ridiculous as update stopped TWO times even after full 3GBs+ download
so not want to waste more time to try again from store and i have not that much speedy net connection too :/Can you make steps or little tutorial how to upgrade from 8 to 8.1 with oem actived keys ?
I tried one iso of 8.1 but that was not accepting the key i got from bios using some software and ended up with 8 again.
directions will highly appreciated

1. Extract your windows key from BIOS.
2. Run "slmgr.vbs /dlv" on the factory-installed OS & note down the SKU. (REF)
3. Depending upon the SKU, download windows 8.1 iso from official repositories using this site.
For example, if your SKU is CoreSingleLanguage (which it most probably is) then download windows 8.1 Core single language edition.
Please note that you have to use windows 8.1 product key for windows 8.1 installation, after installation is completed change the product key to the one from your BIOS only then will windows activate.
Hope this Helps.

Yes, you will be able to upgrade the processor but it will be pretty costly, 15-20k+taxes.
It is possible to put the SLI card, it costs 8k when importing.

Don't pull off stunts like that. God knows who's key is that. Win 8 laptops have Win 8 key embedded in the bios. [MENTION=796]amit[/MENTION]bahtt89 why do you want to change your key? Is original Win 8 key which works for win 8.1 not good enough?

Lol buddy just calm down. First of all you cannot install win8.1 with win8 cd key even though it is original and came with your laptop. Secondly that cd key which has been provided is a generic one which only allows you to install win8.1. One will have to activate after installation completes. Unlike earlier versions of window installations where you can simply skip entering product key, win 8.1 doesnt allows that. So i hope i answered you question.

Wait.......won't the key work for just one computer?? In that case somebody must have already used it. That was what I was implying. I think you can upgrade to win 8.1 from win 8 original version which came with the laptop.

No its not the case with this cd key. It can be always used on any number of computers only for installation purposes. And yes you can always upgrade directly from win8 store but here the scenario is of fresh installation of win8.1 to a pc which came with win8 product key.

I don't believe that. This way Microsoft will go bankrupt if that provides full installation.

If that is a trial key then what's the use??? Better to stick with original win 8 key and then upgrade with it.

You are right its trial product key. But its useful coz it lets you install win8.1 which your original win8 product key doesn't. After installation you can activate using your original win8 product key. This way microsoft also won't go bankrupt and we can directly do a fresh install of win8.1 instead of first doing a win8 install and then upgrading to win8.1 .

U don't get it. Win 8 users can upgrade to 8.1 without hassle. But if you want to clean install windows 8.1 (from 8.1 msdn iso), then u cant use windows 8 key for "Installtion" (remember its "installation"). For activation change your key to the original one. Its as simple as that!
Microsoft would have gone bankrupt if you can activate with that generic key! In short you cannot activate without original key.
And that key i posted is a generic one. U can use any 8.1 Core edition key for installation, but to activate u need a genuine key (which u already have in your BIOS).
Don't get so aggressive or "pull any stunts" over something u don't understand.
