Muh, I don't know you know the fact or not; the build quality of the Thoshiba Laptops have been deteriorated very much. They had taken thousands of laptops back from Asian market due to faulty design causing high heating issues. Even recent reviews are complaining about the build quality.

My pick is Asus K Series X53SC-SX224D @ 34.6K. It has the same Core i5 processor but also armed with 1GB GT 520M Gfx card and USB 3.0 port. The build quality is also very impressive as the whole body is built of Brushed Aluminum, resulting very efficient thermal design. It also comes with 640GB HDD which is very good considering the current HDD price.

go for this "sony vaio cb vpccb35fn" eye closed....it has all the feature that you need...especially 1080p screen...6630m is enough for the games that you have mentioned....and also take a look at dell xps 15 but it will overshoot your budget...otherwise you can go for hp dv6 6121tx considering gaming only...

Hi All,

I have dell Inspiron Laptop. Today it's Battery icon is showing this message:
' consider replacing your battery"

it is 2 and half year old laptop and till today It is running on its original battery.

I checked on internet and they are showing it is WIn 7 Bug.

I don't have dell support, coz after 1 year i never bother abt it.

Thanks & Regards,

Yeah, you use Hwinfo or BatteryBar to check your wear. Moreover, 2.5 yrs for a battery means, its life should have been over by now. Whats the back-up you're getting now?

^That means 62.8% of battery life cycle is finished. 41,070 mWh is the total capacity of your battery which is very low. My battery capacity is 62,450.

*i.imgur.com/otOyM.jpg

Check the capacity row. It shows total battery capacity remaining after degradation. In my case, if you calculate-

59,750 = 62,450 - 4.3% of 62,450.

A battery has limited charge cycles. It doesn't gives back up after charge cycle has exceeded. But still I think your battery should be able to give you at least half an hour back up.

6490m is a very weak card..i dont think 6490m will run skyrim on high settings....may be possible at low...so say no to HP dv6 6155TX...
take a look at this model
HP Pavilion dv6-6140tx
HP Pavilion dv6-6140tx Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
i dont think it is available....check some stores if you find then get it asap

if not now you have only two options under 50k...
sony vaio E series VPCEB46FG/B (5650m)
VPCEB46FG : E Series : VAIO™ Laptop & Computer : Sony India

and asus K53SV-SX267D (540m)
asus is good brand... i too read reviews in flipkart...but others are all positive
and also some members here bought it too...540m is a slightly better than 5650m...imo go for asus

Formatting & installing OS to a netbook's HDD by connecting it to PC will cause any issues?

Also can Samsung NetBook NP-N100-MA05IN run win 7 home basic/ultimate w/o any issues?

1) No.

2) Though you can run 7, but what about adding a GB of RAM? It'll make your work smoother.
