I want a Laptop with i5 or i7, backlit keyboard and good display(I really want a good display).
The laptop should look good coz I have been using a thinkpad lately and bored with it's dull looks. USB 3.0 is preferable though not necessity. I don't want to invest much.
Pls help me find one.

Are laptop with tochscreen good ?

Guys this might seem like an uber noob query and i don't know if this has been bought to discussion here before btw will "setting 200% volume on VLC damage laptop speaker's ?" , even googling this brings up mixed results so can't really tell. There are even threads on other forums on where people claim to have damaged there speakers on using VLC continuously and warranty was denied (hp?) by manufacturers , i have no means of checking the authencity of those sources but please let me know if there's a possibility of damage as a consequence of using VLC or is this all a misconception .

VLC's sound boosting feature damages the speakers for sure cause my friend blew on of speakers of his MacBook air.
Although can't say about warranty claim... If u ever give laptop for servicing remove VLC cause they get agitated on seeing it..... :-D

It's not a misconception, rather 100% true. Sooner or later, you'll be blessed.
The thing is, setting the volume above 100% in VLC cranks up the sound above hardware level, which make puny laptop speakers burst out.
Some brands like HP, Dell, which used to provide good speakers, were able to retain the damage for longer durations, but even they failed.
Moral of the story, don't keep VLC, you've MPC, KMplayer, etc.

2nd One.
Win8 + HD7670M is a very good thing

Dell one looses point for 2GB RAM & a missing numeric keypad.

AFAIK Samsung's A.S.S is a bit lazy but not bad... recommendable.
But do check for overheating issues on samsung Laptops ...

I Suggest you to take a look @ HP offerings in that range cause they are also pretty good. A10-4600M+HD7670M

talking about Samsung A.S.S. - had to rma my monitor, called up CC at 11.30pm and service enginner called me on 12.30pm and showed up at 2pm [ though he is a bit reluctatnt ] got the panel replaced in 2 days - actually it could have been 1 day only but the technician brought a wrong panel but anyway, it's ultra fast IMO.

Legend Never Ends
@gamefreak4770k I would suggest you to go for the HP Pavilion G6-2016TX. It is a better overall laptop than the others mentioned and the 3rd gen i5(with the 1GB HD7670) will run most games at med-high settings at ease.
