Is the thinkpad x120 available in india?

 

[ulysses]

Iam thinking of buying minimum
Core I3+15" screen+3GB RAM+500 GB HD+1 GB display card for running charting /trading software.(screen real estate very important)

I shortlisted Lenovo Z570 @37805 (Nvidia GT 520M)
and also HP -DV4-3015 @Rs 37671 as it contains superior AMD radeon 1GB-ddr5 -HD 6750M.But it is 14". DV4-3016 also 14"
only DV6 has CoreI7 with 2GB DDR5 card @ rs 54K.

Lenovo Ideapad Z Series Z570 (59-069601) vs HP Pavilion DV4 Series DV4-3015TX vs Asus K Series K53SC-SX096D vs Samsung RV NP-RV518-S01IN: Compare Computers: Flipkart.com

what you guys think of Samsung RC Series Laptop (NP-RC520-S08IN)

Buy Samsung RC Series Laptop (NP-RC520-S08IN) (Dual Tone Red Black) at Best Price in India - Also find Specifications, Photos, Features & Reviews

Core i5+ 6 GB RAM+750GB HD+ win 7 Home premium + 15.6" screen+Nvidia GT 520M @ rs 39,250 ( can get rs 1000 off)
+ WD 500 GB portable disk.
Iam compromising onthe quality of VGA card ( Nvidia GT520M instead of radeon HD 6750M)
and no USB 3 ( only USB 2)
But Getting Core I5 instead Core I3 +right size screen + some what decent card+ extra RAM+extra hard disk + original Win 7 Home premium ( I can live with DOS also as I can instal Win 7 ultimate)+ free mobile 500 gb WD HD all @ Rs 38,250 !!
comments please.
Also any core i3/i5 model with radeon 6750M with out OS also ok.
thanks

^^ your budget ?

screen real estate very important

 

[Ishu Gupta]

Screen real estate - Screen size/resolution.

GT520M is as bad as the Intel onboard.

^^ your budget ?

say not more than 40K.

Screen: 15.6" (available max resolution)
If I go for 17" + core I3/I5 + decent graphic card -I think it will go close to 47-50K.

That leaves only HP DV6 -
I saw some sites listing HP-DV6 models with 15.6"/core I5 + radeon 1GBDDR5 around 42K.
HP DV4 has only 14" screen.
what do you think of the Samsung model I mentioned?
Core i5+ 6 GB RAM+750GB HD+ win 7 Home premium + 15.6" screen+Nvidia GT 520M @ rs 39,250 ( can get rs 1000 off)
+ WD 500 GB portable disk.

I know it has GT520M which is as bad as Intel onboard graphics.
I thought as a package with I5+6GB ram+750 GB HD+Nvidia 520M may work for me.
At home I attach a 22" LCD. while travelling I have to do with this 15.6".
Any budget 17.6" model with core I3+ graphic card.
Any other brand sells with radeon card which Hp has?
I dont mind weight or ugly.Functional will do.

Check this
Asus K Series K53SV-SX520V Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus Notebook
i5, 4GB RAM, GT540M, 750GB HD.
So you get a ASUS laptop with a much better graphic card but only 2GB less RAM (easiest and cheapest thing to upgrade).

HP Pavilion DV7 Series DV7-6010TX Laptop With Dedicated Graphics: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review HP Notebook
Cheapest 17". Not too good.

Ishu
Thanks for bringing to my attention the Asus K Series K53SV-SX520V with
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 540M-2 GB DDR3 (superior to GTX 520m and better than Radeon HD 6490M and may be on par with HD 6750M/6790M?)
Core I5,750Gb HD (only 2GB RAM less which as you mentioned can be easily added later)

I will work on this and make a decision.

Happens with all laptops with switchable graphics. There is a fix but its complicated and isn't a guaranteed success.

@chintan
Please post the usage scenario of the laptop you will buy. If you want to do Photo or Video editing I just donot think Macbook Air will make the cut
