That's surprising. I've heard complaints against Sony that their laps are overpriced and service is expensive. But reliability? Is there any specific reason you're suspicious of their laps?

Your battery is failing... which means it will no longer be able to provide backup for as long as it should. Do you find that your battery doesn't last as long anymore? Is it a second hand lap? Because for a new lap, the battery has gone south too soon. It should have lasted at least a couple...

Actually the 5740 is itself not a great performer. This should give an idea of the performance of the lap for games. The 310 will run the 2007 and earlier games, but not really that many games post 2010. @amazingbrains: Check the link and see if that is okay for you

As I said, you gotta check with the dealer for the exact specs on offer and the pricing. But yeah, I didn't know the Ideapad came with a discrete graphic card. Don't count on the graphic card, though. It isn't a performer and is probably marginally better than the IG that comes with the system...

If you want a lightweight DON'T go for the XPS 15. It weighs in at above 2.7kg and becomes heavier as you add components. Though you might get a better bang for the buck with it. The 6 cell should last for at least 2hrs for your load. The MacBook Pro 13" has an i5 @ 2.3 clock turbo-able to...

Considering the Dell, the 6 cell version might give you a video playback of 2 to 2.5 hours and the 9 cell will last around an hour longer. Yes, but the thing with the sandy bridge and the Optimus technology on new Nvidia graphic card, the lap will switch to a low power mode using the...

Oh... ok. What are the specs. Because the 5740 seems to have different specs and different prices with that. Dell Inspiron again. Go to the Dell site: -Choose the second model(Superior Value) in the Inspiron 14R. This is a core i3 @ 2.53GHz clock. Throw in a 9 cell battery and that costs you...

Dude, that's exactly the specs I've placed order for. It will get you through most games in the years to come on at least mid to low settings. Anyway, what exactly is your use and what is budget?

Check out the Dell Inspiron 14R on their site. Just add the Radeon HD 5650 and the rest you're good to go. Will cost you abt 32k but you can play games upto 2010 on low to mid settings. It's a 14 incher. Or go for the Dell Inspiron 15R. Just change the batteries to a 9 cell and for 31k you get...

The only thing I wanted to say was that know your needs before you opt for it. And anyway, when you're on a shoestring budget a difference of 5k is significant right? I just wanted to know if what they ask is really what they want, that's all. I've seen a lot of guys get carried away by...

First what is the use for your lap. Only then can anyone give any suggestion

Looks like 'sandy-bridge' is the buzz word here. The one question I'd like to ask you(and others looking for mid to low end laps) is "Do you really need a sandy bridge?" If you're only moderately into gaming, don't bother too much with CPU intensive like video editing(and I mean serious video...

the 3ys complete cover would cost me about 13k more than the 1yr cover. Anyway I take it that it's better to have a longer warranty. Thanks

Forget the Asus. You can't get a EEE PC below 20k. Check out the HP Mini. The Windows 7 version is around 20k(DOS version 15k) and has 2GB RAM(as opposed to 1GB on the 15k model) There's also the Acer Aspire One around the same price range. However, the HP mini has two cores(N570) against the...

As I said I did search for a large screen lap myself but there weren't any good ones within my price range. If you're gonna be lugging it around only occasionally then you can buy a monitor and hook it to the lap when playing. But then you'd be better off with a desktop for such an arrangement...

I've decided to go with a custom XPS 15. The thing is that I can't decide about the warranty - 1yr or 2yr warranty. The thing is that the 2yr warranty costs abt 5k more than the 1yr one and I've already stretched the budget real tight. Is it worth picking up the extra year of warranty? Gonna...

If you're gonna buy a gaming laptop, then the 40GB SSD seems a little tight. Anyway, if you really want a lap that has a SSD then you gotta stretch your budget even more... unless you're looking to splurge all your money on the SSD and give up on the other components. I'd say drop the SSD. It...

I'm looking to buy a laptop in the next couple of weeks, which is actually more of a replacement for my desktop(E6600 CPU, 8600 GT GPU). Since I might be moving around a bit, I can't settle with a desktop(which I'd prefer any day). My budget is about Rs. 80k. After a little searching I have...

I've had an 8600GT for the last three and a half years and it has been working beautifully... until today. When I switched on my PC today the monitor refused to detect the graphic card and I had to plug it to my mobo to get it working. I'm pretty sure that my card is bust but I would just like...

I'm from Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu)... I definitely won't go for the YES players... Okay I'll check up the YP K3... I'll also check out the Sony
