I fully endorse your point. Yesterday I saw one FHD notebook with one of my business associate. I came to know its FHD only after I inquired. Yes, they are good if your main objective is to watch fullHD movie. But how many can be watch on regular basis. I don't feel to go for FHD as for now. Thanks for your suggestion.



Thanks for the insightful answer. I was totally ignorant about this issue in FHD.



Thanks Rider, for your suggestion. I checked one FHD laptop of a client, now I have dropped my plans, as you were right they are good for only watching FHD movies and editing. Although they are futuristic, as recently I came across a european sony website they were offering most of the model in FHD as standard feature and with 16.4 inch screen and priced reasonably (1 CHF = Rs.58). But they compromised in processor they all are in 2nd gen (der zweiten Generation) intel.

Still I feel at present FHD is overpriced in India.

2nd gen and 3rd gen are two diff types of processors. 3rd gen is build in different platform (22nm lithography) Hence it out performance better performance and battery life. In benchmarks 3rd gen core-i5 3210M is 20% better performer than 2nd gen core-i5 2410M. And in graphics 3rd gen's Intel HD 4000 has directx11 accessibility and as sujay said has 50% better performance than 2nd gen's Intel HD 3000.
1080p display would be obviously great overall and those smaller size fonts or characters can be easily adjusted by windows as per your need.

For the budget of 55k, a good 1080p you can get is Dell Inspiron 15R SE.

Samsung NP300E5Z-A0TIN Laptop (2nd Gen PDC/ 2GB/ 500GB/ DOS)

Upgrade RAM to 6GB by adding another 4GB stick plus another 2 yr extended warranty if you feel the need. (I feel).

Prefer Samsung over Asus due to much better screen.

Pentium dual core will be more than enough for your purposes. (PDC = i3-HT vaguely)

About service, I won't comment on it as Samsung is pretty new in this arena, still not bad.

Why 17"3, it will be too heavy. And 1600*900 in a 17"3 = 1366*768 in a 15"6.

Regarding Toshiba, I can't comment on its ASS, but rest its fine.

The reason, I am interested in 17" is because, my work needs me to open 2 or 3 windows simultaneously. So I need more screen space. I thought a 17" can offer me lot of extra screen space.
What do you think?

15"6 is enough but its the crappy 720p resolution which kills it. Your call, get a feel of 17"3 first.

i5 would be the ideal choice as there's not much difference b/w i5 and i7 from gaming prospective.
