Can anybody please tell me whether an i5u (max. clock speed 2.6ghz) can match or exceed the performance of i3m (max. clock 2.5ghz). I've tried googling for benchmarks but can't arrive as a conclusion as different sites have different sets of results
Any inputs are highly appreciated

i5U won't even come close.

* Lenovo ideapad y500 is a good choice
* samsung laptops have 900p only
* check Dell inspiron 17r it has 1080p

Guys,just bought a new HP Pavilion m4-1003tx for my dad @ 49000 from Ranchi...It has a new gen Nvidea GT730M GPU with a 2GB DDR3 memory...Specs are just mind blowing for a 14 incher+ Core i5..Will be reviewing it in detail when he comes back from his tour.

HP was late to kick in high gaming segment. But it seems that the patience is finally paying off. BtW I heard that the onboard graphics of intel haswell processors will be better than 650gt. Is it true?

HP was late to kick in high gaming segment. But it seems that the patience is finally paying off.

looking at how Samsung Series 5 & Lenovo Y500 are suffering from heating problems, HP's highend laptop may turn out to be the perfect way to fry your hands. their multimedia laptops with midrage GPU heat to insane temperatures. think what highend GPUs will do. and i seriously feel its time HP move to better ventilation and airflow.

BtW I heard that the onboard graphics of intel haswell processors will be better than 650gt. Is it true?

only Iris Pro will close the gap with GT650 but remember drivers have a really big part in the performance. AMD increases the final output by 10% with driver updates over shipped hardware. haswell laptops without any discrete GPU can soon become the next hot tech to own capable of playing games. but lets see how many manufacturers ship these highend i7 parts with SSD & no discrete GPU or add a GT7xx GPU to the mix.

@Sam afaik y500 folks aren't facing overheating issues.

resolution: not much option in my budget , i guess. Type: non reflective

6) Anything else you would like to say? (eg: local purchase, ASS,matte/glossy finish)

need: Good ASS, battery life: at least 3 hours, preferably much more. usb 3 is desirable, but not mandatory. looks are not important. above all: good construction,and trouble free ownership for 3 -4 years.
I am ok with online purchase ( Flipkart)

7) Shortlisted: Dell Inspiron14 ( pro: decent specs, with OS, thin, lighter. Cons: feels plasticky, reflective screen, battery life)
Dell Vostro 2420 ( pro: good specs, matte screen. Cons: thicker, battery life, no usb 3)
Thinkpad E430 ( not seen. Pro: good battery life, faster HDD. Cons: lack of indicator LEDs, without OS

For those who have the experience of using both e430 and vostro, which one would you choose any why.

Thanks for reading
