[ratul]

@ratul Congrats for your new lappy. I want to tell you turbo mode is automatic process, you can't stop or control turbo mode. It will use as per the requirement.

then it's ok...

And, thanks all for your wishes...

Ok guys!! After reading this and a few other sites, I think that the core i5 is at least equal if not better than i7 for gaming.

I am thinking of cancelling my idea of ordering it from Dell India site, and get it from ebay or elsewhere with the i5 model. That way:
1) I don't have to wait for so long, and also
2) after I compare the benchmarks we can test theory of i5 vs i7 for Gaming.
3) I save good bucks to buy a few extra games

Please comment..

@ratul congrats on your purchase....do post reviews on gaming...

I hope someone list a 15r se or17r se on ebay before 28th june. Got a 10 % off coupon. Would come in handy. I can get 17r for around 57k if listing price is same as dell india price

lol even I have got that one..but ebay doesnt have it yet i guess

I had a talk with the owner. But the person selling it is not a dealer. He just bought it and selling it off. Also he says he cant courier it outside Bangalore.

 

[raj_55555]

No. Not in ebay, nor n flipkart. But as I said (very recently), my only intention being Gaming I am going with the core i5 model. I've managed to find a seller in kolkata who is selling this for 45k , will be there tomorrow. And if all goes well, I'll be having a brand new laptop by wednesday..

I have been going through this thread since they launched 15RSE!
I would be buying my first laptop..basically for coding purposes(using heavy applications like netbeans/eclipse,oracle etc for programming)
I was going for 15R SE but I am not just happy with its looks..
Can anyone suggest a better option for my purpose..??
I was considering hp but cudn't get a third generation one...my budget is upto 55k
Please help me ,its been a month of wait for me now..and i don't want to wait anymore...
Also will it really matter much if i go for a second generation in hp..?
I am preferring
-third generation i5
-4 GB RAM
-500 GB hard disk
PS-I am no gamer!

@neha31
55K for a non gamer is not at all required.
Check this out: This should meet your expectations. Remember it won't game very well though.

@raj_5555

Thanks again!

As raj mention, HP Pavilion G4 Series G4-2036TU is a good option but according to your budget Vaio 14" E series model is also a good option as you said looks and weight are alos concerned.

The HP envy 4 or 6 ultrabook is perfect for you I think. Looks really nice,only 19mm thickness,4gb ram,1.7kgs, i5 3rd gen, decent 7670 radeon graphics,32gb ssd cache too(so windows boots in around 18 seconds). You also wanted a HP.

If you game its the 15r se no doubt. But for a non gamer,envy 4/6 is perfect !!
It costs 53-54k with 3 years warranty.

BTW Dell XPS out guys !!

@rider
Yeah...I was just looking into this one..
It fits my requirements pretty welll...
I am in a great hurry to buy one...
I guess i'l choose one from HP Pavilion G4 Series G4-2036TU or
SVE14116GNB
Just one thing..Are both are equally good in performance?...as i mentioned earlier i would be using it mainly for programming purposes...!

 

[raj_55555]

BTW Dell XPS out guys !!

Not enough budget!! Never mind, I'll have my SE by Thursday or Friday atmost.

Hey Raj,, I live in West Bengal. Did you manage to find someone selling the Special Edition (SE) for 45k?? If yes then please let me know.. I wanna buy it too.

 

[Acoustichead]

Laptop has costed me 55k after 5% corporate discount! Representativ says i should receive it within next 10 days....Can anyone suggest me a good cooling pad within 500-700 range. Coz i will be gaming a lot, so I guess cooling pad would be required?

 

[har]

Seeing sisleys lap temp's, I dont think a cooling pad is really required

 

[rider]

haha!! first let the laptop come, u r thinking much far

@har the choices in xps 15 are gt630m and gt 640m, very very disappointing!! It would cost between 50k to 60k like last year.

 

[har]

The New XPS 14 and 15 are actually upgrades to the XPS 13. The new XPS 14 is just 1100$ abroad but starts at 80000Rs here. WTF is wrong with their pricing departments ? And the XPS 15 costs 1300$ so really it should be 80000+ Rs here and it has only GT640m.

The upcoming HP's with GT650m are gonna destroy them

 

[rider]

hp and apple follows same conf in high end dv6 and macbook pro 15 respectively. Last year both came with HD 6770M.
