Either inspiron 15r fhd or there's a vaio model with config i5 + 1080p IPS. I'd personally choose latter.

Lenovo y500 is better, u can setup SLI by buying another gt 650m in it.

 

[swiftshashi]

My personal choice would be Lenovo Y500(59-346619)...The specs are just awesome.

What is mean by this?

 

[RON28]

^^^SLI means combining two grpahic cards, but in lenovo y500 we can combine only GT 650M, so the end results will be like single GTX 675M, SLI of GT 650M will beat GT 660M hands down in any recent games.

Either inspiron 15r fhd or there's a vaio model with config i5 + 1080p IPS. I'd personally choose latter.

can you provide the link for SONY 1080p IPS display lappy? my friend wants to buy a lappy with IPS screen.

I just saw the specs of y500 @ flipkart and it's very good. Will it be good laptop in terms of performance? Any overheating?

 

[pratyush997]

+1 for Lenovo Y500 though After sales service sux But it's best lappy under 65k

 

[nandu26]

It seems that y500 is having touchpad issues

I mean letters in bold, what does it mean?

He meant that another GT 650M can be added to this lappy by buying one (Accessory) and sacrificing ODD in SLI

 

[TheSloth]

Still confused. What accessory?

 

[Gtb93]

You can buy "another" GT650M card from utside:.
There's already one GT650M in the laptop.
Hence using SLI and ultrabay present in the Y500, you can add the "another" GT650M to the already existent one("crossfire-ish") and now your laptop has 2 GT650Ms!

though getting another gt650 will burn hole in pocket

 

[Gtb93]

Costs 300$ to buy another GT650

 

[pratyush997]
