[Hrishi]

Hello guys.! Buying a laptop/netbook for my friend.He is trying to buy it for his birthday,which is on 5th of this month.
So, i need some immediate suggestions.

1) What is your budget?
20 - 25k

2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?

15'
or anything that would fit to the budget



3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?

Anything will be fine! But my local seller has a good stock of ACER laptops.


4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?


5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?
16:9 , 1366x768 & finish doesn't matter


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

1.Need atleast 6 hr battery backup
2.DVD drive is a must.
3.Simple design is preferred, as this will be his first one.

I don't think mainstream laptops with good processor will provide at least 6 hours of backup under 25k strictly.!

6) Anything else you would like to say?
After sales support should be good.
Good Build Quality
Lightweight
USB 3 ports atleast

I have selected this one below
Samsung NP370R5E-S06IN Notebook ( Intel Core i3-3120M/4 GB /750 GB HDD/ Win8/ 2 GB Graphics-AMD-8750M /15.6 Inch) - Buy Laptops Online @ Lowest Prices | Snapdeal
as I think its lightweight + has a graphics card ati radeon 8750m. Maybe battery will be an issue as its 3 cell but its 43Wh so it might be good.
Any opinions people

Also tell me how i3+8750m stands against i5+7670m with respect to gaming

 

[topgear]

i5+HD7670M

 

[Harsh Pranami]

i5+HD7670M

8750=radeon 7730=nvidia 640gt. Wouldn't that be a better option. Sorry I'm

 

[Hrishi]

For gaming I5 is the least.
7670m should be close to gt630m and 8750~gt645m. I am not sure though , because results vary from system to system and driver versions.

Least ? Not at all. i3 is good enough, i5 being max you can use. In high end games, it's the GPU which is bottlenecked, not CPU; especially in case of mobile GPUs.
