@NGK bro I would suggest you to avoid toshiba laptops because nobody buys them god knows how will be the after sales. Hp pavilion M6 is a great laptop, it has outstanding battery life of upto 7 hours HD7670M will make you play RPGs in high settings but will cost around 52.5k from infibeam and samsung laptop is great for its price but there is as you mention you will not do high end gaming ever. Some people told that it is not good for long time intense use. Storing data in external HDD is considered safer than in HDD of PC.
As far as you priority is concerned you should buy ThinkPad E530 or hp probook HP ProBook 4540 (model with HD 7670M) laptop from abroad which is perfect for your hardcore usage and are durable too.

The ThinkPad E530 comes with a 630M 2GB Graphics Card and no Express-card Slot, which is a bummer since I wanted to upgrade to Thunderbolt in the future. So does it make any sense to wait for the Lenovo Y580 or HP Pro-book which I can get by Jan-2013....

If you are serious about purchasing a gaming laptop get ideapad from US because its never gonna release in India but as you said I'm never gonna play them, not now, not later not ever! I would recommend you to get HP ProBook 4540s its better for your hardcore usage and HD 7670M will run current RPG games in medium settings.

I too think that inspiron with 7670m would be the best option but will it be able to satisfy my gaming needs..?

 

[coderunknown]

most games can be played at high except really demanding games like BF3, Max Payne 3, etc. And for 50k, why not get a laptop if you like gaming. Even for casual gamer, a desktop is anyday better than a laptop.

2GB graphics memory won't be of any use unless the GPU is something like GT660 with a Full HD display.

Big no!! to fijitsu laptops, have you ever seen anyone using this brand of laptop? God knows how will be its after sales. As I suggest you NP300E5X by thinking and comparing other laptops in this range. It has better battery life upto 4-5 hours and amazing 1000 battery cycles generally a normal battery has just 300 cycles and you will get 2 years manufacturer warranty but please make confirm samsung india customer care about this as infibeam forgot to mention the offer or not as i can see flipkart has mentioned one year free extended warranty. Don't be confuse by other models, it's best laptop for its price just go with it. Cheers!

Heyy man! If you want to do gaming in laptop, simply get samsung n550p laptop best for its price. Other option is dell inspiron 15R Turbo laptop with core-i5, 720p screen, HD 7730M but for this you have to increase your budget 2k more.
The normal inspiron with HD 7670M 1GB DDR3 is simply overpriced. You see for almost the same specs you can get 6.8k cheaper HP Pavilion G6-2016TX with HD 7670M, weighs just 2.47kg and offer of nikon camera.

7730m Vs 7670m.. Is it worth to spend 5-6k for a better gpu..?

Yea! the performance would be around 25-30% better in HD 7730M.

i will game on the pc for around 3-4 hours a day (not continuously) on med-high settings..i can satisfy myself with medium settings..

Yes! you can game over 4 hours continuously, no issues in new gen laptops.

Will it make any gr8 difference in gaming performance b/w 1gb card and 2gb graphics card..??

No, its just marketing gimmick both these cards will not even use 1GB graphic memory in gaming.
