All laptop related queries here!!!

[rider]

Thanks Rider. Further, as I mentioned in my post, my main purpose is Linux programming and compilation which may run for hours. I will be using Ubuntu and hence I am not too worried about windows which I may not have at all. So, Linux / dual boot, performance, battery back up & heat are my major concerns.

Is the HP (2016tx) model best suits my above requirement compared to the other brands [ Dell, lenova, samsung] in the price range 30 - 40k.

Yes, both OS will be run like charm in 2016tx. Happy shopping!

Hey guys, need to buy two new notebooks. What's the trend now?

0) What is your budget? (INR or USD)

a. 35k (+/- 5k)
b. 40k (+/- 4k)

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

Mainstream; 15" - 16" screen


2) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?

Nothing specific.

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

a. Movies (would prefer HD screen, but doubt it in that budget)
b. Light Gaming

Feel free to add any suggestions..

^HD = 1366*768, which is de facto in all laptops from years.

FHD = 1920*1080, and this is uncommon and expensive.

For ~40k - HP G6-2016

& for ~35k Lenovo G580. (bit better display) or HP G6-2005ax (all rounder including solid gaming, bit mediocre display though)

I want to buy Laptop,but I am little bit confuse between Samsung's Matte Screens vs Glossy Screens. what to choose.??

So my questions to you are:
1. Does the matte finish seem to lower the resolution? I have read that sometimes it can dull an image. If so, would the two displays appear to be equally sharp?
2. Which screen will provide a better overall feel when watching video & web?

My Prefer Specification:

i5 3gen
Screen - 15.6
GPU - 1gb at least.
Budget - 42k - 48k
Keyboard should have numpad.

My Work:

high Web Surfing, heavy multi tasking, working with Several online software, watching video, some video encoding & editing, photo editing etc..


I just shortlist 3 laptop, but I don't know which is best for me.?

Samsung NP350V5C-S02IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win7 HP/ 2GB Graph): Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Samsung Notebook

Lenovo Ideapad Z580 (59-341341) Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 6GB/ 500GB/ Win7 HB/ 2GB Graph): Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Lenovo Notebook

HP Pavilion G6-2014TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win7 HB/ 2GB Graph): Flipkart.com: Compare, Review HP Notebook


Thanks in Advance..!

1. Does the matte finish seem to lower the resolution?

Nope, completely illogical.

I have read that sometimes it can dull an image. If so, would the two displays appear to be equally sharp?

Yes & Yes. Glossy screen appears more vibrant (read lively) colors.

2. Which screen will provide a better overall feel when watching video & web?

Glossy. But comes with its own negatives, i.e. reflection which makes it hard to work against light.

Bottomline- Get HP G6-2016TX.

dashing.sujay, Thanks for reply.. does HP Pavilion G6-2016TX has numpad keyboard? And it has 1gb GPU, Is it enough for video and photo editing..? I just closely looking at Samsung NP350V5C-S02IN How it is..? it's worth it.?

I'm a student of Computer Engineering and I want a laptop for my studies as well as for entertainment thats why I need an all rounder laptop within Rs.45000 to Rs.55000. My configuration need is as follows:
1) Intel core i7 2nd/3rd gen
2) min. 4GB ram with expandable capacity.
3) 1 or 2 gb graphics
4) 500gb/750gb/1TB hardisk ( if SSD available then please recommend me that also)
5) all the connectivity options such as blutooth,wifi,card reader, webcam etc. should be available.


Since I'm in Pune, I'll prefer to purchase laptop in Pune as well as online stores.
I also selected a laptop Asus K55VM-SX086D K55 Series K55VM-SX086D. Is this laptop perfect for me since I need Gaming as well as Coding. The laptop SHOULD BE FUTURE PROOF. If it has solid built then it will be preferred as I'll be using it at least for 5 years. Also one thing that the display of the laptop should be great. Also suggest me an Ultrabook if it fits in my configuration. Suggest me laptops/ultrabooks from Dell,Asus,Sony and Lenovo. The laptop should be Windows 8 compatible. Also in coming months if there are any new releases of gadgets suggest me that also to wait or not to wait for them. Thanks in advance.

Infibeam do not provide COD for your suggested model. Rest models have it I Requested them to add COD for it.

As i mentioned above shopping sites' specs are generally wrong. Both laptops would be having about 5 hours of battery life. I would suggest you buy core-i3 2370M model with H77 chipset because it is newer. And for purchasing I suggest to you to buy from infibeam.com. They are very reliable and offer you cash on delivery. Believe it or not they are more reliable than flipkart. I had a very bad experience with flipkart about purchasing my laptop as there was no cash of delivery above 50k product.

Well Infibeam did not enabled COD for that model. So I have now two choices for cod.

Don't be confuse by other laptop models. HD 7670M is not a high end graphic chip it will not even use 1GB DDR3 memory in gaming on the laptop.

I don't suggest anything that will make you regret in future. Your budget is 25k you should buy at least a core-i3 laptop. There is no issue in purchasing from infibeam they are very reliable, don't be afraid to purchase from credit or debit card.

No, touchpad doesn't seems to be there.

And yes, 1GB VRAM is enough for all kind of work you require. Actually 2GB can only be utilised when the GPU is fast enough to do that, which is not the case here. The Samsung model has same config as of HP but a bit costlier. If num pad is your priority, you can opt for the former.

[jargon]

Hi,

Can somebody please suggest me a laptop with following specs, considering portability:

- Max. 14" screen
- Long Battery Backup is the priority. At least over 6 hours..
- 1080p video playback should be smooth.
- Hardware Expectation:
-- HDD – atleast 250gb
-- RAM DDR3 – atleast 2gb and possibility for expansion.
-- Bluetooth
-- Wi-Fi
-- Webcam
-- Alteast 1 USB 3.0 ports
-- HDMI port (VGA as well, if possible)
-- Dedicated Graphics card (if possible)

Portability is the main concern. Like working on the move, maybe hours without power.

Would be doing - Internet, Office Work, Watching HD Movies, Listening songs, maybe Games once a year or two..

Budget is around 30k.

Thanks. I posted a thread earlier, but did not receive much response.

Well wont make any hasty decisions. But to be future proof I would like to upgrade my Desktop. Even at present I can play bit old games like GTA-4, POP sereis, at 1080p on it with med and high settings.
Laptop only will be used for web surfing (20-30 tabs),downloading and watching high res. movies, reading pdf (ebooks) and couple of Digital signal processing softwares (e.g. MATLAB).

Asus.

Its just the price! or brand or some other reason?

You read wrong somewhere! 2016tx has full keyboard with numpad. 2016tx is the best laptop for its price with high specs as it is available for 37.5k in infibeam offer. The screen is fine not outstanding but average, perfect for such a low price tag. Preference of screen depends upon the usage, movies and games looks better in glossy. If you want to use your laptop outside the room you should prefer matte finish. i would suggest you to check laptop models in showroom before buying from infibeam
