How much better than the HD is it though? Is it worth spending extra money?

 

[gingy2000]

Do you know how much better the NVIDIA GeForce 520N is than the HD 3000? Is it worth paying more?

Right now i am looking at 2 different versions of the Lenovo Ideapad Z570. The cheaper of the 2 has Intel Integrated HD 3000 video card bluetooth not enabled. The other is $100 more but has NVIDIA GeForce GT520M video card. Both have Intel i5 core and the same amount of memory/hard drive. Both are also the same size. I just need to decide on which to get.

I'm just going to shoot this suggestion. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230098 It's gpu is about twice the performance of the hd3000 or 520m. But I would suggest answering our questions.
