I personally recommend the one that is 929 dollars. You get an SSD which is used a boot drive, a better screen, and a bit better wireless card.

Also, pick up one of these:

I live in India and the models you suggested me cost from 1150-1250$ and i can't afford that so could you please tell me whether i should buy a lenovo, samsung or a asus laptop with nvidia 700 series graphic card and which processor would be good.

Probaly Asus. If you could, get a 4th gen i7, but if it's not in budget go for the 4th gen i5.

Lenovo is offering me i7-4702mq, 8gb ram, 1tb, geforce 740m ddr3 graphics at 935$ but asus is offering a 3rd gen i7 at 960$ with 650m so which one should i prefer

Best performance for your budget is the i5 version of the Lenovo Y510p with:

i5-4200M (i7 not necessary for gaming)
6GB RAM
1TB Hybrid SSD
Dual Nvidia GT 755M's on SLI
15.6" 1920x1080 display

The two GT 755M's on SLI are the most powerful graphical option given the budget by a long shot. The ones on the Lenovo site do not have dual graphics until you hit the most expensive option.

the y510p is way off my budget it will cost around about 1100-1300$ depending on the config and i can't afford that

How about this

Lenovo Z510 with back lit Keyboard (59-398016)

How about this

Lenovo Z510 with back lit Keyboard (59-398016)

not bad, the graphics card on the model is basically a code name for the graphics card GT 740m.

The processor is an i7 and the ram is 8gb, which is great.

With that you'll be able to play modern games at medium settings

 

[Jashan Singh]

The graphics card is an Nvidia GT 740M, which is actually pretty weak, but if a Y510p is that expensive where you are at, then it may be your best option.

I'd go ahead and get the Z510.

what is the difference between 740m and 650m in terms of graphic performance
cause i want to play games at med-high settings
my old radeon hd550v still gives me good results while playing games but my laptop is now 4 years old and i want to buy a new one and i am torn between graphic cards

due to the frickin dx11 support for coming games i cant play them with my dx10.1 graphic card that's why this confusion whether to buy a latop with 650m or 740m

I'm not good with computer terms, so look at this.
