Planning to buy a new HP laptop.. not in a real hurry. should i buy it now or are there good offers during festival season since ganpati and diwali are arriving soon?? plz suggest..

Also, am not much into gaming.. FIFA, PES and cs mostly.. need it for movies and music. shortlisted a few.. plz suggest..

1. hp dv6 - 6119tx for 47k.. will AMD Radeon HD 6490M suffice? and can i switch between intel and amd graphics as per use? and will the i5 give me a longer battery backup than the i7?

2. hp dv6 - 6140tx (available only at chroma) for 50k.. do i really need an i7 if its goin to reduce my battery backup..??

plz suggest..

For movies and music go for Dell. It has very good speakers and you can add fullHD display too. Check for dell xps 15 with second gen i3 or i5. Will suffice you requirement.

You NEED to upgrade to the FHD display. Its the most important upgrade. The screen is beautiful.
I know its 6k but worth it.

i had visited the dell store.. but somehow the bulkiness and the look of the dell dint convince me. I found hp more portable (need to consider since ill be carrying it almost daily)

am getting
1. 6119tx for 47.5 with goodies
2. 6017tx for 48k
and
3. 6140tx for 49.5k with some goodies
4. hp 6121 for 53k

which would be the best deal

IMO, 6017TX for 48k is the best deal.

For battery? Not much diff b/w i5 and i7. Under full load i5 might give you 10 more minutes.
~5hrs battery on mormal usage.
~2hrs on heavy usage.

IDLE power consumption.

LOAD power consumption.

You don't need to worry about battery life. Similar power consumption for all of them.

Probably wil go for 6140tx then from croma at 49750 for reasons mentioned by arsenalfan..

Hope the brightness issue mentioned by yash isnt very serious.

N wats the alternative for litescribe which is mising from 6140?

6121 nt realy useful for me.. Can save the 3-4k for something else. Probably the cooling pad :p

He doesn't like the brightness levels. Nothing wrong with it.

You can get a demo at croma if you want to check it for yourself (recommended).

Dont expect great display quality from these HD panels (1366*768) from dell/HP/sony. All of them are pathetic. If display is important, go for fullHD display from Dell/HP. It is worth the money.
Also, if you are going to carry it often, why dont you get a 14"? HP dv4 series, 3016 with i5 and 6750 is available at around 42K.
