hi guys...suggest me a laptop/ultrabook...
(1) First and most important xcelent multi media exprience.
(2) no -hard core gamer (not played any major titles yet, but like to try a few).
(3) good battery life.
(4) good After Sales.

But as for purpse...I still say... multimedia...streaming online..videos...songs....so display quality and sound effects or quality should be xcelent. As for budget not decided yet...but can suggest upto 60K.

Hey did anyone experience this in their g4 or g6 hp laptops... using windows 8, when i turn on the laptop sometimes it shuts down on itself before booting windows. The login screen won't come and i'm not sure if it happens after the hp logo appears or before. Usually within 10 secs of turning it on, it shuts down itself. I can see that the wifi button turns red and the screen flashes a bit then goes blank or off before shut down.
Is this normal or not? when i turn it on again after this, it boots normally fine and without any problem.

hey guys ... what are the things we shud keep in mind to prolong the battery life ..??? i have heard alot about charging and discharging cycles ! shud we kip the laptop on ac power asmuch as possible ???

Some pointers

• 
  * Don't use laptop always on charging, it degrades battery.
  
  * Don't game on battery, it stresses battery uselessly and eats it's already fixed charging cycles.
  
  * Don't completely drain the battery, and don't even follow those zero to 100 likewise guides. Modern Li-ion batteries don't need all this fuss.
  
  * If your laptop has got the option to limit charging to say, 80%, enable it. It will save those precious charging cycles.
  
  * Lastly, don't take ultra care, be little cool

There's an inspiron model of i3 + 7670m. It's perfect for you.

Processing power wise, i5 is much ahead of i3. But in gaming, its more or less same. If you really do some cpu hogging development like kernel compilation or intensive database work, then go for i5.

There's a vaio at 70k but with FHD IPS screen which is totally worth it. Plus it has 640m LE, which will suffice for medium gaming at 1080p.

Have a look at the Samsung NP300V5A-S0CIN - though it has a 2nd gen SB cpu the core i7 2670QM is a very powerful cpu under the hood of any laptop and it also has 1GB Nvidia 520MX gfx chip, for better gfx and core i5 3rd gen cpu look for Dell New Inspiron 14R.

[Vivek Ananda]

i'm planning to buy a budget gaming laptop and i zeroed my choice on Samsung NP355V5C-S05IN
Samsung NP355V5C-S05IN Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 1.5GB Graph) - Samsung: Flipkart.com
but i need to know whether the laptop supports turbo boost as the base speed of 1.9ghz will not be enough for me. i know it has same chipset as HP a8 counterparts but i'm afraid if samsung has did any restrictions to disable the turbo boost in it. kindly reply ASAP

Hi Everyone,

I bought an asus K55vm Laptop last september it was worked fine for few months.But now whenever i use the laptop for high end gaming like Half life2 episode 1 it shuts down automatically after 10 minutes i even bought a cooling pad expecting it to be a heating issue.But the problem still persists.Games like Mass effect2,prototype, prototype 2 and many others work fine but if it comes to NFS carbon or Half life 2 Episode 1 it shuts down.I bought this laptop for its high end processing and gaming purpose only.It would be great if anyone can solve my problem.
Configuration of the laptop is:-
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30Ghz
Ram 8.00 GB
Memory 1TB
nvidia GEFORCE GT 360M 2GB
Intel R HD GRAPHICS 4000
Windows experience rating 5.9.
64 bit O.S

are u using windows 8? I think it might be bcoz of new hybrid boot which does not shutdown completely. I heard it is often required to go for full shutdown on a regular basis.

No, running win 7. Never heard anything like that.

Yeah it doesn't happen in windows 7... it shud be either due to win 8 or some fault with hp laptop.

[desidude2013]

would like to know genuine shops at lamington road to buy laptops. had read on the internet that some dealers there remove labels and stick higher end processor labels on lower end models. then they sell at less cost showing thats its core i3 /i5. also do they provide genuine invoices.

how does one claim warranty on laptops ie based on serial number or purchase date on invoice

 

[Hrishi]

Q.Can you guys share some information on importing laptops from Abroad ?? Or purchasing the ones already imported from existing shops in India . I heard there are some warranty issues , but it'll do for me.
Actually I can't find any good laptop under 700-800$ budget in India that can play BF3 or similar games at high settings(not ultra but at least high@1366x768).

Went through a hell lot of benchmark results and gaming performance (frames rates mostly) , for 7670m vs 7670m+7660G vs GT630m. , most of them can't surpass 30FPS mark. ,
The latest trinity model has a10-4600 which is better than SB I3 , but according to most results he CF thing is more like a gimmick .
The IVB Ci5 can dance circles around the a10-4600 in raw performance , but as such no noticeable benefit in gaming.

I am planning for a new laptops for moderate to above moderate gaming. Most of the ones available in India can't handle anything above average games.[under the price bracket]
Desktop configured under same price tag can easily play high to ultra modes. And if required then can be overclocked too. Unfortunately I can't keep a Desktop as they are not at all portable.

Q.What I was wondering is that are there any shops in India that provide imported models ?? ( Most 800$ laptops in US comes with a Quad-Core CPU, 650m GPU at least.)
Now how much extra expense do we need to spare on to get such models in India ??

Q.I know overclocking a Laptop will kill it gradually, but do they actually support overclocking with decent results at least in frame rates ?? I have heard that APUs have some issues in overclocking (at least my Brazos one doesn't allows it.) Though , it has a turbo for IGP.

Can settle for those 7670m , 630m models only if they have considerable overclocking potential and support the gaming requirements.And yeah I am ready for adventures in case anything gets messed up , but need that gaming power in the end no matter even If I have to unscrew it 10 times a day.

Expecting a detailed answer on this.

[PS : I have never used a mainstream laptop with gaming capabilities (14" or higher yet.) Only a Average Desktop and Netbook user , Now looking to play some demanding games with good graphics .However I am confused like hell.]
How does it feels to play heavy games on a 1366x768 resolution with medium details ?? Are they just passable or they do look good ??

have a look at this

Thanks TopGear , I bought this model for a friend of mine few months ago@56k. Its a very good laptop indeed , except few few issues. However , its a little over my budget. I can go to a maximum of 45k at this moment.
Can I get similar config laptops (imported ones ) in India at cheaper rates ? Any possibility ???

TopGear , how about the Lenevo Z500 with Core I5 3210m , and GT 645m GPU ?? [ It was released recently , p'bably a day or two ago.]
How fast the GT645m will be against 7670 in gaming ?? Pure Gaming.
Thanks,.

You can buy cooler master chargers of same volt rating, of around 1.5 k. And you won't face any compatibility issue.
