Truth prevails
Been hearing a lot about the quality issues in Lenovo laptops. G580 seems to be a very good laptop but I have apprehensions about it. HP G6 2005AX is a wonderful AMD based laptop too with moderate gaming capability. Drawback is that it has got battery backup of just around 3 hrs. That leaves Dell Inspiron. Within the budget of 30-35000/- we can only get core i3 based laptop. Battery is good.
Overall scene is:
HP G6 2005AX - AMD based (equals core i3) . Good overall with decent graphic card. Battery issue.
Lenovo G580 - Core i5 based. Battery issue. Hardware reputation
Dell inspiron 14 - Good overall. Core i3 based.
Main kya karun??

HP 2000 series & HP Pavilion G6-2005AX both have very less battery backup. Max about 2.5 to 3 hours! Other than that everything is fine.
Dell Inspiron 14R, 15R are good but way overpriced and many guys created doubts in my mind about quality of Lenovo lappys..
Hi guys,
I'm looking for under 25K laptop with best performance. I couldn't find a separate thread for under 25K laptops so posting this here. Could you guys plz help. The computer will be used by my 11 year old niece. I searched on the net and found Lenevo G570 to be satisfying the criteria but there are too many variants of this, some with B950 processor some with B960 dual core, and some with 500GB HD some with 320 GB HD,so it really confused me. Just need 3-4 best performing laptops in this range so that I can compare.
One more thing I live in Delhi. Which would be the best place to buy.... online or Nehru place?
1) What is your budget? (INR or USD) :- 25K
2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer? :- at least 14 inches
3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?:- Not really matters
4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?:- surfing and some MS office stuff
5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?:- I'm not aware of "type" but looking for best display in the budget range.
6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish):- at least 2nd generation Dual core
Thanks in advance

may be read the wrong specs about battery, hp laptops outperforms more than 4 hours in power saving mode. When my core-i7 laptop was new I use to get 4 hours easily and these new generation laptops are better in battery performance, so I'm sure you will get more than 4 hours of battery, ask more about battery life in G6-2005AX discussion thread. Please avoid Dell Inspiron 14R it is with old 2nd gen core-i3 in your budget, truly overpriced.

There is a Asus A53 series laptop available at 26K. It comes with Dual Core B960 + 2 GB + 500 GB + 1 GB GT 520 DDR3 + USB 3.0. I got this 1 month back for my bro and it has superior build quality and battery backup (more than 4 Hrs in Entertainment Mode, 3.2 Hrs+ in high performance mode) than any other laptops in that range. Games like Mass Effect 1 and 2, COD series, Alan Wake can also be playable at mid setting. You also get Nvidia Optimus switchable Gfx here which can increase battery life.

5hrs is possible if you use laptop under light load and spend sometime tweaking the settings. on default setting, the backup is low. under load or max brightness it'll be 2-2.5hrs for any laptop unless the battery is 56-65Whr+ or so.
I'll second that. This laptop gives me about 5 to 6 hours backup easily if I keep the settings low. Of course I cannot run any heavy stuff. Surfing is no problem. It still gives over 5 hours. If you are just reading some pdf or something , it can give close to 7 hours backup. I've had that once. Just be sure to keep power play on with maximum battery backup when on battery and brightness set to low. Believe me you will only feel dark for a while , after that your eyes adjust to that and it feels ok. In fact normal brightness then seems like high. Its just about getting used to.

That sounds incredible device by hp.
Best option, if taken with 1080p. If you can compromise with screen, have a look at Samsung n550p, i5 @ 49k, i7 @ ~58k, both with much better GPU (650M).
Dell inspiron 15r SE with GCN based radeon hd7730m would be faster in Maya viewport rendering than gt650m though in Photoshop both the cards would perform well.
Adobe Photoshop 6 supports OpenCL which is also well supported by GCN cards.
In gaming hd7730m is somewhat slower than gt650m.
Dear experts, please advise is 1080 p (Full HD) display in notebook of some utility in day to day usage. I mean would FHD make some visible difference in viewing while internet browsing or using other programs. I am confused as the price difference between HD and FHD is steep. I have not seen full HD and HD demo back to back. So cannot make any assessment. Kindly assist. Thanks.
Although FHD is noticeable in all sort of uses, be it apps, games, or movies (at best), some people can't notice it (its a fact
). Even the desktop looks totally different. It gives you more work area to play around. I'll say buy only after hands on experience.

Full HD display is good for watching 1080p movies and for better editing work. It also produces higher pixel density which makes display quality sharper and better than a normal HD laptop. I would suggest you to go to dell laptop showroom and compare display quality of dell inspiron 15R laptops.

Took Off!!!
FHD displays can make Internet browsing difficult for some, it makes characters appear smaller in certain websites, you have to zoom in to read without straining your eyes. On the other hand, pictures and movies will look amazing (i.e only if the movie is of 1080p)
