thnx buddy....but does asus hv any cntrol over its service,or is it like hp??owners of asus can enlighten us...
By the way,the model suggested by rider is awesome.

I think they have proper control over its service. But confirm it before purchasing.

Im lookin to buy a laptop so i need a list of all laptops(In india and us) which have
basically looking for a gaming laptop
COst (around RS.60000 or equivalent USD) preferably cheaper :

> i7 gen 3
> 8gb ram
> nvidia 2gb 650 or above
> 500-1tb hard drive space
OR

> i5 gen 3
> 8gb ram
> nvidia 2gb 650 or above
> 500-1tb hard drive space

I also need to know(if u can) if the laptop has heating issues looking to play world of warcraft maybe 3-5 hrs a day or other high graphic demanding games. can wait about 3months or so.

So far i have found

Samsung 550p S03 ---- not sure if heating solved (60k)
(USA)IdeaPad Y580 Laptop - 20998NU - Dawn Gray ------ heating issue when long gaming hours (49k)
(USA) Alienware -- mx14 does not have gen3 i7 ------- heats and noise but good ventilation's takes care of it. (80k)


IN GAMERS WE BELIEVE

wait for 3-4 months.. you will get new gen laptops.

There is no model as HP 2010 AX. I think you mean HP G6-2005AX. I suggest you to buy this model if you love to play games in it.

 

[hiteshlastm]

Sorry My bad...the model is HP G6 2010AX with a extra 500 GB+ HDD and 2 GB+ RAM above 2005AX one.

I needed a laptop for watching movies, browsing and occasional gaming. I wanted a fast laptop. After much speculation, I finally ordered Lenovo Ideapad Z580 (i7 3rd gen/ 1 tb hdd/ 8 gb ram/ 2 gb nvidia gt 630m gpu) on flipkart. I dint go for dell inspiron 15r turbo coz i heard it has some battery/BSOD issues. I can still cancel my laptop. Should I do it and order Dell inspiron 15r Turbo coz I heard der r some probs in ideapad series on running win 8. Plz help. I am damn confused.

My main issues are that I dont want any heating issues with my laptop. It should not be slow. It should not hang or have any random BSOD.

There is no battery/BSOD issues in dell inspiron turbo it was the issue initially when there were no official GPU drivers available. Now it works like charm. In terms of cooling no other laptop can beat dell inspiron trubo 15R in this segment. So, don't worry just go with it everything is fine with this laptop. It is a great laptop.

For more ask the users in its official thread *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/laptops-netbooks/158133-dell-inspiron-14r-15r-17r-turbo-laptop-thread.html

Request for help choosing a laptop

Hi all,

I am a Master's student and soon will be starting my project work, during which I will be extensively using my Laptop (which I am yet to buy). This laptop will also be used by my bro. I am listing down my list of requirements here. Kindly help. I have to take an urgent decision, within one week.

1) What is your budget?
35,000 INR (max, +1000)


2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

I will prefer a 15.6 inch screen.


3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
No such problem, but I want reliability and less maintenance.

4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?

Lots of reading and writing, lots. Extensive use of word, excel, powerpoint, pdf. For Data input and analysis and report writing sort of stuff.

I will need to run ArcGIS, ERDAS Imagine (both are softwares for Image processing for Remote sensing and GIS, loosely defined) frequently. My brother will be using at least AutoCAD and Wildfire Pro E software. These 4 should run without any problem that is the main requirement, for processing and graphic rendering I guess ( I am not sure what exactly is the use of graphic cards,I am a bit confused here)

A heavy use of internet, very heavy.

I watch lots of movies. Decent sound quality and video should do.

Occasional gaming, nothing too hifi. If it does not perform for games, I dont mind.

5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?

I am not really sure. I should be comfortable while doing my reading writing stuff. That could be as much as 6 to 7 hours a day. At least 3 to 4 hours a day.
Screen should be easy on eyes.

Viewing angles for watching movies with 4 or 5 people.

I am not sure about pros and cons on LED and LCD.

6) Anything else you would like to say?

this is my first ever laptop. please help me buy.
i dont mind installing a pirated version of operating system if that means a reduction in cost upto 2 or 3 thousands.
While using those AutoCAD/Wildfire/ArcGIS/IMAGINE, laptop should process things fast. I cant handle sluggishness (sorry i this sounds arrogant, i m not)

I dont know whether AMD to choose or Intel. Also, brands, i am not sure. I need reliability and laptop to last 4 years at least! ( too much?)

I study in Delhi at present, i can buy it from here. Vadodara (Guj) is also an option. Online is also ok. but i will need that laptop at my home around 4th of Dec.

I am planning to buy a 1 TB external drive sometime later (March 0 July maybe). So this laptop can have a HD of upto 500 GB will be fine.
I was checking flipkart, I found HP Pavilion G6-2010AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) at 36000. How good is that? I am open to all brands with good service centre network.

I will travel and carry around my laptop sometimes to places with not so good availability of electricity during my project. a decent battery should help. i dont mind carrying heavy laptops.

Eagerly waiting for replies............

 

[riyaz]

With reference to my earlier post, HP Pavilion G6 Series G6-2207TX is the one some computer show owner suggested. How will that fare?
Also, I am prone to multi tasking... I guess that was conveyed earlier in my post.

@riyaz
As per your requirements are concenred you need more profession laptop rather than a everyday or multimedia laptop. Though a normal personal laptop with 15.6" TN panel screen would not give a nice experiance in 4-5 people. For this you should arrange some big 23"+ monitor. Laptop screen is made for a single or two user watchable not much.
For you needs like general office use, autoCAD and high multitasking and browing in your budget 36k. Intel HD 4000 of the ivy bridge intel core-i5 would be sufficient as you can not some good dedicated GPU model in such budget. So, I would like to suggest you to get HP 4540s ProBook (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS): Flipkart.com: Compare, Review HP Notebook The best thing its durability and great battery life. You would roughly get 5-6 hours of battery in this in power saving mode.

Thanks rider for your reply. Really appreciate your help.

Its okay if 4 5 people can not watch, I added that only to know which kind of screen to choose, LCD or LED. I did not know that. No way I can take a 23+ monitor!!
The one you suggested looks cool, but overshoots in temrs of budget for me
Multitasking is some thing I will have to work around if my lappy does not permit.

How much help does a dedicated graphics card gives? I mean what about RAM and processor and graphics card? At what point do you need a graphic card?

Thanks a lot, I will get back with some other queries if you dont mind. I am extremely confused at the moment. Its really kind of you to reply and help me out.
