    GT 520 (in Z570) is entry level GFX. Dont expect it to run games like - Shift and GTA4 at playable framerates.
    (I think) Even Inspiron will struggle with these games.

    dat must be the i3 version.. i too checked it today at e-zone for that price.. the i5 version was for 44.5k..
    can the buyer comment on his experience till now??

    i was plannin to buy z570 (i5 with 750gb hdd) available at 44k.. but then on some googling.. i came across these issues.. on the LENOVO forum..

    1. TouchPad issue
    Very important issue since it is regarding the touchpad

    2.Power charging and headphones issue
    important coz im going to listen to a lot of music..

    Is this a common issue? can the z570 users shed some light on this?
