Definitely samsung np550P i5 or i7 version
@aroraanant-Look at his budget. And he will be playing games. 7730m of dell isnt good enough to play at 1080p.

Hi, even I'm in the same boat as OP.
Same budget.

I had narrowed it down to the HP Envy 4 till I saw the Samsung NP550 so I've held of.

Can anyone tell me if the heating situation is really that bad.. I mean for general usage.. since I mostly my laptop on the bed.

Its 40 degrees under normal usage of browsing,movies etc on bed.
On gaming NFS Hot Pursuit at ultra its 86 degrees for me.

So is 40 degrees comfortable for on-lap usage..?

And during gaming is there any risk of letting the laptop heat up that much?

15R SE with Full HD Display wont come in his budget. Its ~63k+5% taxes.
I think basic version of 15R SE or Samsung Series 5 550P would be good for him.

15R SE with 3rd gen i5, FULL HD, backlit keyboard costs around 55k, VAT additional and 3-6% discount can be availed too.

Thats a very good option too. But do remember you wont be able to game at 1080p using its 7730m. Even the gt650m cant handle that.

If gaming is your priority, samsung still wins. But the full hd of dell has other benefits like movies,and most daily tasks like word processing.

all the laptops have heating issues except the gaming laptops from alienware and asus G series.
the consumer laptops from hope are not desktop replacements. today laptops are very powerful but at the same time squeezed into small chassis. so, they tend to get warm under load.
if you want a laptop only for gaming then i will not recommend you to buy anything in that budget. otherwise get a gaming console.

even I have the same question ..
Samsung looks the winner as of now, lets see as I am planning to buy in September.

but there are a few questions that I have,
what is matte display, which kind of display is best?
Which GPU is better, 650 or 7730 ?
I have a 23'' LED full HD monitor, can direct the laptop display there ?

I thought this thread is relevant, Please excuse me if its not so......

1) Both have their benefits. But matte is generally preferred. Glossy gives more vibrant colors but matte means good viewing angles and absolutely no reflections. Hence you can stare at the screen for a longer time without your eyes paining due to reflections. In glossy a lot of reflection occurs.

2) GT650M>>>7730m. 7730m is almost at gt640m level. gt650m is a segment higher and a class one card.

3) Yes you can.

As you said you want to know about hp Envy 4. It is an ultrabook so that means it has low power ULV procressors which is good for general everyday tasks, light weight and superb battery life that is upto 8 hours. But for high end gaming and high performance use, it is not recommended. May I know what kinda games you love to play and recently played?

Also,
Should you wait a couple more months and go for windows 8 ?

Windows rating doesn't mean anything. You shouldn't really use the retarded WEI as a comparison.
