Hi,
I am looking to buy a new laptop and following are my requirements:
Budget - Rs.35000 (+/- 3K)
Use of Lappy - Will mainly use MS-Office & Internet on it. Watching movies, listening to songs, and occassionally playing games (not very latest ones, but shud support at least those released till 2007). Basically all the general things we do on our PC.
Screen size - I am thinking of 15", rest u guys suggest.
RAM & HDD - Ram 3 GB at least, HDD - 300 GB or more
Processor - Here is where m confused. I am not too sure what major advantage an Intel I5 has over I3, but I know that an I5 will cost around 4k-5k more than I3, so u guys suggest on this please, considering my budget and usage.
Weight - Again not very sure of the general laptop weights (havent worked too much with lappies), but I dont want it to be very heavy, coz m doing an MBA and will be carrying it to college with me very often. So weight shud b slightly less.
Battery backup - It shud run for at least 4 hrs without requiring a recharge.
Brands under consideration - Dell (People tell me this is most relieable, but I have also found it a bit costly), ACER (Have heard it gives value for money, and its prices are within my range but m skeptical about its durability, so u guys suggest plz), HP, Sony.
I am situated in Mumbai and thinking of purchasing from Croma, Vijay Sales or E-Zone. Will b buying in next 1-2 days, so please advise asap. Thanks!
********UPDATE***********
I have checked out a few stores today and found the following 2 configs interesting:
ACER Aspire 5745 - I3
----------------
Intel Core I3 - 380M, 15.6" screen
2.53 Ghz, Ram - 3gb ddr3,
500 GB Hard drive, 1 GB Nvidia graphics card
Price = 36000
ACER Aspire 5745 - I5
----------------
Intel Core I5, 15.6" screen
2.53 Ghz, Ram - 3gb ddr3,
500 GB Hard drive, No graphics card
Price = 37000
Do u guys think the above prices are fine, or are they high for this config?
Also will purchasing an I3 over I5 make any major difference in terms of performance?
