Is samsung reliable in Laptops ???

Samsung is a good brand, they are working so hard to give the best laptop with good features at low price. There is no laptop with that much great specs at that price range. They are doing all this to get in the laptop market, and for putting cherry on the cake they are providing 2 years warranty.
Go to their thread and ask users about their experience.

Keep in mind GT 650M >> HD 7730M = GT 640M > HD 7670M > GT 630M ≥ GT 540M > HD 6630M

@izzikio_rage For 15" Asus X54C-SX261D would be the best in your budget.

And for 14" Asus X44H-VX152D, but it will exceed your budget a little bit.

I'll get my HP Pavilion G6 2005ax laptop in 3hours.. But am leaving for Delhi by tomorrow morning. So need to adjust all settings by today.. I've never actually used lappy much

a) @ other users of this lappy, I'll get 2 drives, C with about 425gb & D with the rest (about 65gb). Need to partition the C drive into 2-3 more. Will I have to format the system to do it? I wont get any recovery disks or any installation files.. Any sites/ways to make one?
b) The laptop can be unclocked and overclocked.. I need to know how to do it. (default 1.9ghz)
c) The laptop will cross 90degrees after 10minutes of gaming. How much will a cooler help regarding this? And how heated up will it be while playing low graphics game like fifa12?

+ any suggestion regarding the softwares/setups to be done in a new lappy will be helpful.

a)You can make partitions as much your needs with the help EASUS Partition Manager, I recommend you to make C: 100GB and rest drive divide by two and make two more drives.
Recovery is inside the HDD, Arrange 3-4 blank DVD discs, open the Hp recovery manager and write recovery discs.
b) Dunno much about working of new AMD A6 you can ask this in HP Pavilion G6-2005AX thread.
c)Open hp coolsense software and put both in coolest mode. And for coolpads I recommend you to buy at least Coolpad Evo Infinity.. only that can bring change in temperature above 5*C others only decrease 2-4*C

not possible in Trinity. Bios doesn't support OC.

c) The laptop will cross 90degrees after 10minutes of gaming. How much will a cooler help regarding this? And how heated up will it be while playing low graphics game like fifa12?

the laptop stays cool that means even if system monitor shows 90, cooling system is working fine else you'll get a frying pan instead of laptop.

i recorded 59 max after 1hrs of gaming when discrete graphics was off and processor was underclocked.

Problems/queries regarding HP Pavilion g6 2005ax

a) From windows experience index I'm getting only 5.6 & 6.2 in graphics respectively, while some users of this lappy posted here of getting 6.7 in each.. Will be very helpful if I can have the same
b) While installing a game, it is taking me significantly more time than what it takes in my AMD Athlon X4 desktop. How will this system fare in single tasking & single/dual core operations when compared to i3?

Overall this one seems pretty good after 12hours of purchase. Ran Arkham Asylum, Black Ops at highest settings. Waiting to see how NFS Run fares. Sucks that they couldnt even provide the recovery & driver disks.

Don't classify performance on the basis of windows experience index, it's a complete crap benchmark. Use 3D Mark 11 and compare.
hp never give recovery and driver discs, but they provide hp recover manager, as I said burn recovery discs. All drivers are included in that recovery discs, that you will burn.

i have tested this and yes compared to Athlon II X4, APU takes more time installing softwares. Try extracting a rar file and then you'll know how slow it really feels. i3 will easily outperform any APU in single task cause it have much higher IPC and clockspeed. Also in multitasking APU doesn't take a huge lead. Thats why APU laptop cost lot less than Intel based lappies. You can get discrete GPU less laptops at this price if you take the second route.
But in games both (if you pair them with same GPU) will go head to head. Its the heavy task that tax the APU. Browsing, documents, music, etc can be handled easily even if you do heavy multitasking.

Dont use windows partition manager. Use Easus, its easy and the best you can make your partitions as your wish.
My recommendation is to make C: 100GB and make other three drives of 200GB approx each. Windows partition manager can only partition C: drive to 250GB and not more than 3 drives, totally cr@p.

It's good if you live in a metro city.
