my father is going to buy a laptop. the company is hcl (can't change it). suggest the best hcl laptop out in the market. i visited hcl website *www.hclleaptops.in/ and the price of the maximum laptop was Rs57000. i was hoping to find a good gaming laptop but the top hcl laptop (HCL Leaptop Z-3919 ) has only "Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500M-HD - Inbuilt in GM45 chipset" which won't play any of the new games even in low graphics. but other company laptops at the same price have good gaming capacity. but my father wants only hcl( as his friend works for hcl). so which is the best hcl gaming laptop? please suggest fast. thanks. sorry i didn't see this thread so i started a new topic.

I am looking for a laptop for MBA purposes and den later for job purposes. Looking for good portability(light weight) and for watching movies..

one is Dell studio 14(nt many ppl buying it apparently)
second is Hp pavilion Dv4-1240tx/Dv4-1242tx .

I actually liked Dell studio 15 bt i feel its more of a desktop replacment...
plz help me with the above two models...also, plz suggest if thr is ay other laptop which can fit the bill(my price range is : 40000 to 60000/- ).

Thanks in advance..

is there any budget constraint??

HP has released a new ultra portable 12" laptop (HP DV12) with AMD's new neo platform (1.6GHz Athlon processor + ATI graphics) and it's lot lot faster than any netbook available in the market now.

Friends,

I got a problem with my Sony Vaio (VGN-NR430E). It is not switching on at all. When given to Sony service centre, they said motherboard is gone and need to be replaced. The estimate given is Rs.21,000. Though the laptop is only 9 months old, it doesn't have warranty as it was bought in US :x

What shall I do? :sad:

Hello Guys!

I want to buy a laptop.My Budget is 50K and the requirements are :-

17" screen
Good speakers
Long battery life
reliable service after sale (it is must)

Basically I need it for surfing internet,watching movies,Games (average ones).
I want to buy of DELL and I like 'Studio 17' series.

But some of my friends advice me to go for HP as there r only limited service centers (here in Chandhigarh in Punjab) of Dell.I have heard that it's drivers n softwares are hardly founded and is costly than HP laptops.
Please advice me which one to choose - HP or DELL?
And if Dell,than what r the advantages of it than HP
Please reply to my questions.
Thanks a lot :)

Who says u can't get the service for Dell. Dell has the best service and after sales support in all of the MNC laptop companies. U don't have to exactly go to the service center like in the case of HP/Compaq, just ship the product and u r all done. As for comparing between the 2, Dell beats HP hands down. Dell maybe expensive a tad bit but that's what u r paying for the quality of the product and quality of the service. HP/Compaq devices have run into battery trouble lately and won't suggest it to anybody. As for support to, in Chandigarh, I've been to their center and it is operated by a complete bunch of mad@ss n00bs.
My friend's laptop, a HP-DV-4 series had its battery conked out and when we went for replacement, we explained the whole case but still they adamantly replied,"Sir, Iske barey main company ka engineer hi dekh k bateyega, hum aise battery replace nahin karke de sakte" :x After 15 days we got the laptop back but not with a new battery but a refurbished one. :x
I purchased 2 laptops last week only and none of them is HP/Compaq. I bought a Lenovo S10 for my sister and a Dell Studio 15 for myself. :cool:

I needed some advice for a laptop.
Intended usage:
Some student work, presentations etc, Movies,little Gaming and internet.
Budget: about 50K.

I am looking for a config and have the foll specs in mind:
Processor: dualcore 2GHz+, 2+MB L2Cache
RAM: 2+GB 800+MHz DDR2 (or DDR3 even :D )
Screen Size: 15-16 inches.
Resolution: would prefer 1440x900 or higher (or 1366x768)
Gfx: good enough for little gaming.
OS: would really prefer sys to be w/o an OS (but most of the systems nowadays have Vista).

Till now, Dell Studio 15 seems the best bet.
with Core2Duo P8600, 3GB DDR2, 15.6", 320GB 7200rpm, 512MB Radeon HD4570 price comes to around 53K.
is it possible somehow to get this sys w/o Vista nd shave off a few bucks?
Is there a huge performance diff b/w 256 MB & 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 ???

Please advise if u knw any other better config, than the one stated....
Thanks...

Hmm... I had already checked out existing threads on the forum. However, most of them are pretty old and most of those models are now phased out.
So any new suggestions are welcome...
thnx
