Thanks for the info shadow and anupam... Yes I am leaving ASUS out of consideration. Integrated battery not good while always plugged in is one big point raised in the thread. Any suggestions on the best way to use the laptop while always plugged in for maximum battery life? Removing it is fine...

How is the Asus K55VM-SX086D Laptop (3rd Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph) laptop when compared to these two? It has an i7 processor but GPU is 630M. Would this fit my needs? Also, is this an old laptop? Is it easily available in local markets?

Do you mean the refurbished Y500 that is available on Greendust for 49k? It is being discussed in another thread. I did some research on Greendust and the result is quite negative. Check this link: Greendust - Consumer Complaints Forum and this too: GREENDUST.COM Reviews, GREENDUST.COM Online...

OK so this must be the reason why my previous Dell Studio battery didn't last long. I was not aware that battery deteriorates faster this way. Although my usage is not literally 24 hours, but it is similar to a desktop PC (almost always at home) so it will most certainly be on power. That still...

Thanks for the reply. Does using laptop on power with battery in place really hamper battery life in a big way? If yes, how is removing battery a good solution? If power goes laptop will shutdown improperly... Is it better if once the battery is fully charged, remove the charger until battery...

Hello, Over the past 3-4 days, I have been extensively reading the "Laptops and Netbooks" forum to decide my next laptop. With a budget of 45-50k, I have come down to these 2 laptops: My requirements: 1) What is your budget? (INR or USD) 45-50k 2) What size & weight consideration (if any)...

Hi Guys, Thinking of buying the Z500 as my budget is around 40k. Any alternatives I should look up before finalizing this?

Thanx for the link.. but it is for LED TV's. I feel LED TV's are currently over-priced and out of my budget. So I would prefer LCD TV's for now. I couldn't come down to any single model on Samsung though they have lots of features. SONY is simply over-priced for almost the same PQ. After...

I am planning to buy a new 42" LCD TV this Diwali (like so many else here!:))). After a lot of research on the internet and few visits to the showroom, I have landed on below two models: LG 42LD460 (Jazz Series) Panasonic TH-L42S10 (Viera Series) My budget is around 50,000/- I am...

There is no comparison b/w C2D proccys and the old Pentium D/P4 proccys... C2D are way faster! And don't confuse with those GHz speeds.. 3.2GHz of Pentium D is nothing in front of 1.6GHz of C2D...:D Even two Pentium D processors working in parallel can't beat the entry level C2D processor.i hope...
