Go with the newest CPU, your battery should last longer since the 5th gen is more energy efficient.

apart from the power consumption, is 5th gen i5 and geforce 830m a better combination for graphics?

if you want to use the laptop as a light gaming machine go with the 4th gen i5 and 840m, if you are using it for school and browsing the web etc, go with the 5th gen as it will last longer due to the CPu having better power efficiency.

so is 4th gen i5 and 840m a better combination for gaming as compared to 5th gen i5 and 830m?

Sorry, I thought they were both 840's, which would be better on the graphics end, but this is not really intended to be a gaming computer and would only run games at maybe medium settings.

the 840m is faster and it will run most games on Low-Medium settings at 1366x768 with playable FPS, but take note that neither of these GPu are intended for Serious gaming, if your looking to use it for some serious gaming i atleast reccommend you look for a 850m or higher.

But 5th gen Ci5 has a better a better graphic processing capability as compared to 4th gen Ci5, so wont that more than make up for the difference between geforce 830m and 840m?
