I know about these laptop, I told this news first in the digit forum about a month ago
I would like to tell you these laptop would definitely will not come in India as here the inspiron series is for economic media laptops.. that is less than 50k price range.
Though 6165tx is also going to disappear in the market, it is currently the best deal for medium gamers. buy it or regret it.

The budget cannot exceed 55k. Even 55k is a bit of a stretch. There is HP g6 with 7670M. Will it be good or should I wait for Ivy bridge.

Dude, 6165tx is totally a value for money device, it worth every penny.
If you can spend 55k, it is not a big deal to spend more 3k. You can do gaming for around 3 years in high or medium settings.
G6 is good but not having core-i7 in it, so not future proof. Other things is core-i5 model G6-2004TX is around 47k and dv6-7012tx is of 50k with same processor and GT 630M. This and 7670M are almost same in performance (though 7670M is little more performer) but the better build quality, 2 GB more ram, 140GB more hdd, sound quality with a mini sub-woofer, Windows 7 with Home Premium 64bit and other more many features are better in dv6-7012tx.
So, overall dv6-7012tx is best in for 50k budget.

For ivy-bridge core-i5 you have to wait till july-august, i think.
May i know what graphic card you are using right now?

How about the Asus K55? What graphics card do you think the new Inspiron series will have?

 

[rider]

Asus K55 is good but having no windows in it. For windows you have to pay 6.5k more for the home premium 64bit. Also you would not get insurance of damage like hp and dell providing, it has normal VGA webcam versus hp dell HD. Also I've no comments about reliability and after sales of Asus. It is having GT 630M that is much much less performer than 6770M which you are getting in 57-58k dv6-6165tx.

Actually I won't be getting a laptop before mid- to late-june since my exams are going on now. I don't think 6165tx will be still available then. Thats why I was asking what would be the best gaming laptop below 55k.

Re: Advice on buying a Laptop

VPCSE17GG/B is not value for money, it has a dual core processor and the worst graphic performance in its class. Also it is of 15.5" you already said no to this much large screen. Go with SVE14A16FNH.

yes, I said no to 15.5" not bcoz of its size but its weight.. but VAIO SVS1511W9E is 15.5" and still less than 2kg. As per the specs it seems to be awesome, but can't say much abt its GPU.

how is NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 640M LE when compared to AMD Radeon 7670M..?? which one is better?

Yes, the specs are nice overall of VAIO SVS1511W9E, I think it would be price around 70k+. I'm not sure about the release of the same model in india. If you are so conscious about weight, why don't you buy a Macbook Air 13.3" it's only of 1.35 kg and superb in everyday performance as it has powerful Mac OS X OS. Would cost you around 66k on a student ID.

GeForce GT 640M LE should be about 20 percent below the 640M. This would be the same level as the GT 635M or the GT 555M. The games like battlefield 3 would be playable in medium settings.

Asus K55VM-SX086D

 

[arani]

^^^^

Asus K55VM-SX086D

but it only has GT630M. Won't it be clever to wait for some more ivy bridge laptops to launch?? Maybe even Trinity(if they launch by June)..what say?

 

[aroraanant]

Yes its better to wait, but right now that is the best option available.

 

[rider]

Yes its better to wait, but right now that is the best option available.

Bro, it has same GT 630M that is also in 39.7k model, having no damage insurance and no genuine windows for 54k bucks how can it be the best?
Processor doesn't affect much in gaming. He mentioned the main purpose is gaming.

@rider

man, ask your local dealer that 6165tx is available or not. I bought it for 57k from hp reseller, some dealer can give u for less.
If you can't spend that much get the real value for money is Asus K53 Series K53SM-SX010D It has same 2GB 630M with new core-i5 2450M 2.5Ghz but these asus laptops have no windows, no damage insurance. And don't differ these laptop with RAM, nowdays 4GB RAM 1333Mmz comes for about 1200 bucks.

 

[aroraanant]

I suggested that because no other laptop in that price bracket has a better graphics card and considering the budget of the person I think we should suggest him something with the best config.

 

[arani]

^^^^ guys I want a laptop that will be good for gaming and also future-proof..

@rider i don't think the K53SM will be future-proof..can you suggest a better laptop in this range?

For future proof laptop, you have to extend your budget man. You can't get better than GT 630M in you low budget.

You can have a look at Sony CB45, it has got a Full HD display and a backlit keyboard which no other laptop has got in that price bracket, and it costs around 51k.But it is a 15.6" laptop.
If you want to get something small and sleek,then you can have a look at these:
13"
Samsung NP530U3B-A02IN
Acer Aspire S3 Aspire S
Sony VAIO S Series VPCSB36FN
14"
Or these Asus U series laptops
And Samsung NP530U4B-S02IN
