Need help in deciding between these laptops

Hey guys I need your help.

I did some research regarding laptops on my own and now I am stuck between these two laptops can you guys please help me decide which one should I go for

Note: I plan on using the laptop for gaming, graphic design and 3D related work

The two laptops I have sort listed are -
1. Toshiba Satellite L850 Satellite L850-Y5310 - price Rs 56000 - I am preferring this one as it is giving a good config at a reasonable price

check specs here - Toshiba Satellite L850 Satellite L850-Y5310 Laptop 3rd Gen Ci7/8GB/750GB/2GB graphics/Win 7 HP: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Toshiba Notebook

2. Dell New Inspiron 15R SE 3rd Gen Ci7/ 4GB/ 1TB/ 2GB Graphics/ Win 7 HP Laptop -Price Rs 54378 - this is a bit costly but has a good config too

Specs here - Dell New Inspiron 15R SE 3rd Gen Ci7/ 4GB/ 1TB/ 2GB Graphics/ Win 7 HP Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Dell Notebook


Now please help me decide which one is better or if you guys have any suggestions in this range.

Thanks

^^ Do u hate Samsung ..if not than lookup sammy NP550P its more powerful than 15R SE and is lil less costwise.

Hi all! I'm planning to buy a laptop at ~40k.
I came across a couple of videos like this one which show that a considerable difference in performance is observed just by switching from HDD to SSD.

My question is: are there any laptops that have total TWO hard disk slots?

Because a ~256GB SSD is absolutely out of budget. But a 32GB Primary SSD (for OS and installed programs) and a 320GB Secondary HDD (or whatever the default one is, for movies, images, songs, etc.) would do great!

Guys am in real emergency, i was going for Dell inspiron 14R se but now i again bumped into dell inspiron 14z ultrabook!! I prefer very very small gaming and uses more for studies (coding) hence need a good battery life!! Can any one suggest me which one should i buy?? 14R SE or the 14z ultrabook??? I need quick reply guys.... am going tomorrow to buy the lap......

=> I've checked an hundred time but can you pls suggest me whether Nvidia GeForce 640M 2gb DDR3 or AMD Radeon 7570M 1gb DDR5 .....
These are the graphics in both the laps...

^^^^
Also remember one thing that you won't be able to connect 14Z to a projector as it lacks VGA port.A friend of mine was going to purchase it but he left because of the same reason.

No you are wrong 3610QM has 2.3Ghz and 3612QM is just 2.1 Ghz.
Performance wise defiantly 2.3Ghz would be better due to higher clock.

And battery life and temp wise 3612QM would be better.

@ yea..thatz wat i meant..typo..
most of the i7 comes with 3612..
I checked sony E15 118... for 57k at flipkart...had a look at it in the stores...looks pretty nice..but itz 3612 and ati 7650..though i dont bother abt the graphics...the 0.2 ghz difference a big deal ?

As per your requirements it seems like you should opt for 35W core-i7 3612QM processing laptop.

rider buddy..how r u..long time no c...
here is the model i checked...
sony e15 118

the looks are better than the previous E series... is the 0.2 ghz gonna show any lag..i hope not...
also the model may be a bit overpriced ..sony it is after all
