Right off the assembly line
Why stick to Dell or Sony?

Take a look at this...

Asus K53SV

At about 45k, you will get 2nd gen i7, 4gb RAM, 750 hdd, 2gb nVidia 540M (which I believe is good mid-level graphics card). And ASUS is very reliable (better than Dell anyway).

The link that I provided for Flipkart....it seems that lappy is out of stock. Don't count on flipkart making it available any sooner. Try your luck with Asus dealers near Jaipur.
And no, I don't think 53k Series has any 14" version to it. It's aimed at multimedia enthusiasts & gamers. So only 15.6" version.

Check this thread. Most people are not having any issues at all.
HP Heating issues are a thing of the past

Also get the FHD screen if you are going for Dell. The 768p screen is very bad.

Yeah, i am following each thread related to HP dv6 :)
Few have reported about temp going high.
But for me that is not an issue.

HP service is worst, after 1 year. Even within 1 year :p

In price of that dell an HP will offer you with its superb processing power as it has the same processor but a nearly 40% better GPU . And do see the thread recommended by Ishu :doublethumb: thumbs up for that thread . It may get very heated only when you will be running highly processor intensive tasks and same time playing high demanding games and if you plan to do such things you may go for a cooling pad otherwise in most situations its not needed .

Anything under 70 or even 80 is a great temp on load. 90C is also OK.
People forget that a higher performing laptop WILL get hotter on load.
Dell XPS will get hot too.

And if you are talking about service, HP DV4 3016TX wth i5 and 4GB and 6750M costs 41k. Dell XPS15 with the same config (with a 40% slower graphic card and a worse display. Better HD & speakers.) costs 53k. 1yr warranty on both.
So I need to pay 12k for better service? No I think I am OK with 5 extra phone calls.

Yeah laptop batteries dies in a year with heavy usage.
Just replace them after a year. 1 to 2k depending on brand.
