I have decided to buy Lenovo Z Series Z580 (59-333651). A lenovo reseller said me the price is 37.5k (with gifts like Backpack,wired mouse,headphone). I don't wanna a headphone.So is the price is right? What things should be checked when buying a lapotop from a store ? Cause i've heard things like that some shops change the RAM or something.Give me some advice.

Get Lenovo G580.

Its been thrice in last week my Laptop freezed during gameplay(F12011) and then crashing whole Windows OS, so yesterday i called up Dell customer care at around 8.30pm. I told him that Laptop is heating up quite lot during gaming. My right click button on trackpad wasn't working after my nephew spilled milk on it, customer care guy agreed to fix that too. He fixed a techie for me. I didnt activate my win7 key so he gave me Master key too for my product license. Today morning at 10 am i got call from the Dell techie and he will be coming today at 5pm with MB, heat sinc, exhaust, track pad and cleaning kit too...

Hope the problem is fixed!
warranty expires in 2014 :D

I have basic query, please forgive my ignorance

Nowadays, HP or Dell not giving Windows 7 DVD and it seems we have to backup ourselves. Now if I go for any ultrabook which doesn't have any DVD Drive then I'm not sure how can I take backup. If anything goes wrong how will I reinstall Windows 7 without DVD drive

Could anyone please answer my query?

Why? Is G580 better than Z580? Please reply.

Its good if you don't want to game, if game Z580. But if you really want to game, just increase your budget by 3k, and get Samsung 550p. Here: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/laptops-netbooks/159661-samsung-series-5-550p-laptops-thread.html

Much much better than every option out there.

There's a serial key printed below laptop. Use it to install with any setup of 7, and it will just do fine. :)

If you want to game then have a look at HP Pavilion G6-2006TX.
Has i5 2nd gen and hd7670m.
It was suggested by Sam in one of the threads.
HD7670m is a bit better than gt630m.

The z580 you are talking about comes with 2nd gen i3 and gt630m.
The hp g62005ax with amd a8 and hd7670m is also a good option.
Its processor is comparable to the i3 in the lenovo but has better graphics than lenovo z580.

If you wont game then g580 is a good option as suggested by dashing.sujay.

Guys my lappy came with Win7HP pre-installed. I have seen many users re-installing it. Do I need to re-install it? As in Fresh Installation? Would it make any perfomance changes like speed increase or similar? If yes, can it be done through recovery disc?

As suggested by rider few weeks back, I have finalized on Dell New Inspiron 15R with 3rd Gen core i5, 4GB, 500GB, AMD Radeon HD7670 1GB and free DOS available locally for 43,500 along with some free goodies. Please confirm my choice and suggest a better alternative if any. I will be buying it latest by coming Monday.

Better to buy HP Pavilion G6-2016TX

It comes with 3rd gen core-i5 and genuine windows7 64 bit

And if you like AMD quad core trinity laptop take a look on HP G6 2005AX too, it has better gaming performance.

Well, you can uninstall all the bloatware/crapware, run CCleaner and your lappy will be (most probably) fine. I don't think your performance is going to improve by a fresh install of Windows on a brand new lappy. Reinstall it every 6 months or so.

Well I just read at 7forums that fresh-install is not needed if the system has a powerful processor and more memory. Just need to uninstall the unwanted softwares then :D

Reinstalling windows is complete waste of time, and formatting partition again and again worse HDD health. Some bloatwares are useful and others who you think craps can be uninstalled by CCleaner easily.

Absolutely right, i also said many times in forums too.
