Which one is better?

5730 is better in gaming but not by much. I would pick Dell XPS 14 over Lenovo Y560. That core i7 is yummy

why not go for 15.6" with R+GBLED. the display is among the best.

hey the price of Lenovo y560 is now about Rs.46 to 47,000 only, hence it may be a better option.
But Dell XPS 15 with i3 380M 2.53ghz is also available at 47,000.
Hence, even I am confused on what to buy.
The only differnce comes to be Core i3 and i5 but at same stock clock speed of 2.53GHz and Dells Nvidia 420M graphics vs Lenovos ATI 5730 grpahics.

I have heard of strict overheating issues with the i7 config of xps 14. i guess it would be better to go for an xps 15 if you want an i7. that way, you'll also get a 435M, which is better than both the 5730 and 425M. Besides as desiibond said, the 15.6" screen is awesome. you'll have to extend your budget a little bit for that, though, but i guess its worth it.
So far as the lenovo is concerned, it seems to have a good config, though its got bad build quality. Also, i've heard issues with the screen, such as black spots.
BTW, if you can wait for a while, you can get your hands on a SB.

Lenovo is very durable and has good quality keyboard and touchpad.

On the other hand, for XPS 15. go for a full HD screen, if it fits your budget, it has great speakers with subwoofers. The machine is a mini home theatre!!

Go for the Dell laptop.I use A Dell XPS15 and take my word it's simply awesome for entertainment purposes.And it handles games pretty well too.

go for xps,my frnd is using it and its very good.
