Thats the question.
Im not planning on use the laptop for gamming, but if 820M really can handle some games maybe is worth for me.
Is there a great difference between this i5 and this i7?

B
both are ultra low power dual cores with hyperthreading. the i7 has slightly more cache and a 10% faster clock rate. both will be more than sufficient for office/school/media. how much RAM does each have? if it's equal, i'd take the i5

The very low end discrete graphics had their place when intel's integrated graphics were literally an afterthought, but the new HD line, especially the HD 4xxx are actually pretty much fine for office/school/media, and will even run some older/lighter games.

The R7 M265 is a tier above intel HD4400 and the 820m. You'll get playable games at 720p with low settings (assuming that there is any care given to low end hardware optimization [looking at you, ubisoft])
