DIFFERENCES:
1)The main difference is GPU which is very important for
gaming. DELL gives 8600m gs while HP gives 8400m gs.
2) HP has service centers are everywhere in India whereas DELL doesn't have any?. I am not sure how reliable is DELL service without any physical existence.
3) HP ilaptops are in a offer period now and it comes with a 8.2 MP digicam free .
I am not able to decide between DELL superior config and HP reliable service centers.
Can u guyz tell me howz DELL's service in India, any personal experiences ?. If its good and if the cost is also negotiable with DELL,its my first choice.so guys can u tell me how to bargain with sales rep. How to approach him for any discount.
Incase if i didnt get discount and If 'CRYSIS' is playable at low seetings in 8400m gs, ill go for HP b'cos 8600m gs also doesn't make it playable at high settings.
So my questions are:
1) Are both these laptops ok for games like 'CRYSIS' at low settings?
2) Howz DELL's service in India?
3) Is DELL's cost negotiable and how shd i do that?
4) are there any other 15"/17" laptops available in Indian market with nvidia 8600m gs in Cost range of 50k-53k?
Guyz plz. help me in this regard. HP's offer is valid only till tomorrow. i have to decide it by tonite.
