Between those two the Dell will give you slightly better battery life but the Lenovo will give you slightly better gaming performance, everything else is about the same ignoring ascetics.

Looking around on that website with a max budget of 35K, most of the laptops are very much similar to what you are about to chose, though I would recommended a model with an i5 CPU over i3 after looking at your needs (there is another Dell Vostro model featuring the i5, it might have slightly less battery life then the i3 model but it would be better suited for video,gaming,multitasking), and since gaming isnt a priority a discrete gpu isnt really needed

Also, if a long battery life is one of the more important needs than have you looked at smaller sized laptop, like ultrabooks, there are a few 14 inch or smaller sized laptops featuring an i5 or i3 for around 32k

The i3 series isnt much better then what AMD has on the cpu side unlike the i5 series, so between the two I would just take the A8 processor. But for 33Kish I have seen laptops with i5 processor (which is better than the i3 and A8), like these two:

Im not sure what other sites you can use to buy your laptop so Im only looking up machines on flipkart but normally ebay or newegg have good deals
