You might find GTX series card in Asus or MSI. XPS15 is good overall. Other two options are 6165tx HP Notebook DV6-6165TX Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review HP Notebook

and Lenovo Y570 Lenovo Ideapad Y Series Y570 (59-305641) Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Lenovo Notebook

Lenovo 570 AFAIK has a GT555M card which is better than GT540M and equivalent to 6770M in HP. Also HP has the best processor.

the ASUS g74SX is way too heavy priced....i mean 1 lakh for an Laptop....its having both of my Choices....Intel i7 processor and Nvidia GTX series graphic card...its really a Gaming Powerhouse....no doubt....but i wanted i7 and Gtx series within 60000 rupees....any other models available??anyone??

Hello everyone,
I'm planning to buy a laptop shortly. I was at loss over finding a good model. And when Toshiba launched its Satellite C Series C640-X4012 2nd Gen laptop, I thought I found it. But to my dismay, I discovered that it lacked two features.
1) It has no dedicated graphics card, so I supposedly cannot play demanding games on it. My question here is, will I be able to install a graphics card on it separately, which will enable me to play high end games seamlessly?
2) It has no HDMI port. I have a HD TV. Will I be able to play HD videos from the laptop on the TV by using just a VGA cable or anything else?

Flipkart.com has listed it over here. Looking at the specifications, the new C640-X4012 is splendid. The 2nd gen i5 processor for a little over 30k is great value for money. But for the above two problems, everything seems to be okay. Are there any solutions? Please help.

1) No you can't add a gfx card to a laptop, at least in India, the main reason being all the internal components are soldered.

2) I think you can play upto 720p vids through VGA cable, not sure about 1080p, i think NO.

You can go for DV6, its a beast, though get a cooler with mandatorily. Look out for newer 6165tx, it has backlit keyboard too. DV7 is 17" series, for Envy, i guess its not launched in india (correct me if i'm wrong). No laptop in India has 6900M class gfx. But, to correct your knowledge, alienware 17x/18x do have 6900M and even 6990M gfx too

Thank you very much for the heads up on the previous question. Another laptop that I have in mind is the Samsung RV NP-RV518-S01IN. Its specifications are listed here. It comes with an NVIDIA GeForce GT520 graphics processor with 1 GB of dedicated graphics memory. Many other laptops I've shorlisted come with Intel HD graphics.

My question is, which one is better for gaming and watching HD movies, the NVIDIA GeForce GT520 or the Intel HD graphics 3000? What's the difference in performance between the two GPU's? Online reviews have confused me, so I need advice from geeks!
Thanks again!

I'm on a laptop hunt now
I want to use it mainly for designing (pro-e, CATIA) and gaming when I have free time
Budget is restricted to 45k.

Just saw an ad on paper-
HP DV6-6155tx @46k.
2nd i5 2430, 4 GB,750 GB HDD, 1 GB gfx card (have to see which model).
Comes with accidental same protection scheme.
And a free Nokia C2-02

Is this laptop good?
I mean does it fry your laps like other HP's?

2.is there any full HD/1400x900 resolution laptop available in my budget?

I've a 2007 HP laptop with 8600gs, it failed after one year, gfx fried up.

And how much is the 6165tx? backlit Kb will be a welcome addition.

3. How good is the Asus k53 model?
Sx520d


4. Is it possible to get 6770 gfx card in my budget?

GT520 is just a bit better than HD3000, but not worth the extra consumption of battery. Whats your budget and requirements?

1) 6155tx has 6490 gfx which is not good for gaming or your purposes. There are better models available at much lesser price. And i don't think it will fry up at coz it has got a mediocre config.

2) FHD- NO, cant say about 1400*900 (why this)

3) Good-VFM

4) No

I intend to use a laptop for browsing, playing videos and gaming. Although I'm not a profound gamer, I expect to play the latest games in decent resolution and graphics quality at the least. My budget is about 30k. Flipkart.com offers the Samsung RV NP-RV518-S01IN laptop for a little over 30k. It comes with NVIDIA GeForce GT520 graphic processor.
So, what advantage (or disadvantage) does a laptop have in gaming with a GT520 with 1 GB of dedicated memory, on a laptop with Intel HD 3000 with no dedicated VRAM at all?
The one with the GT520 is about Rs.3,000 more than the one with just the HD 3000. What makes the GT520 so expensive, then? Thanks in advance.

Hey everybody, I want to buy a new laptop, preferably within rs.40000. My dad will be paying, and he doesn't trust ASUS and LG, so could someone help me out by suggesting some models from HP/DELL/Acer/Lenovo/Toshiba/Sony/Samsung? I realise HP and Dell are probably a bit overpriced, but still, any suggestions will be helpful.

 

[ayush3000]

hey i was looking to buy a laptop within 90k. my main reqs are a graphics card over or equal to gt555m or ati 6770m, full hd screen and it shd b able to run engineering software like autodesk 3ds max or autocad. also since my parents are gonna buy the laptop i would prefer if it was not branded as a gaming laptop.
the dell xps 17 suited.my needs, but i was wondering if there was a version of it without the 3d screen but rest specs as same. thanks

There's not much diff b/w GT520 and HD3000. Of course the former performs about 10% better, but not worthy keeping in mind the extra 3k spent, and lesser battery life.
