You really think replying to a guy who haven't posted since 22 Aug 2011 is "helping"? I don't get the purpose of posting a poem too on that thread.
Also, you accepted you were necro bumping too. So you were indeed doing it on purpose.

And now you try to defame a mod by posting his PM. You really deserve a permaban.
But I will leave that decision to the actual super mods. Members who don't understand the "importance of community" don't really belong on a forum such as this.

It was a simple joke and I got banned for that without a warning. Necro-bumping is not even mentioned in the rules. Who are you to judge if I am helping or not?

I am not defaming vkl, just posting why I am so pissed off.
I have been helping people in this sub-forum for months now and if that's not understanding the "importance of community" then I ask you what is?

dont buy a laptop now just for the sake of upgrading the processor later. upgrading your desktop processor is very easy, but laptop processors might even be soldered on to the motherboard, so. i'd suggest, better wait and buy what you want.
yes, if you have budget restrictions now, you may do a RAM upgrade later or might be Harddisk too , but not processor.

That's a great incentive but be very careful if you want to open up the laptop as this will void warranty(unless Lenovo India customer care guys are so non-technical that they won't see the warranty sticker). Don't Forget IC Diamond 24 as this doesn't cost much but reduces the temps by upto 10-15 degrees over stock.

Y50 will have 10% greater GPU performance. IDK about cost. It will probably have a soldered CPU and GPU to make cooling efficient in such a small package.

I don't really see the point of a laptop buying guide when everybody(the self-proclaimed experts) keep on recommending Lenovo laptops across all price ranges.:cool:.All I see on the threads now are Lenovo G's and Z's and Y's....et al

It's so that people don't buy trash Dell laptops. :p
Also, wasn't this your idea in the first place?
Even though it is universally accepted that Lenovo provides the best performance+Build quality, this guide opens up options for someone having second(and unwise) thoughts.

You can always question the experts about their suggestion,but closing a thread which has been stickied and has got more than 5k views seems illogical.

Lol, yes this was my idea but that was before Lenovo went all "Samsung" on laptops and took the "kitchen sink" approach.


This was an excellent guide but now it has lost its purpose as a GUIDE ever since Lenovo has invaded the laptop market with its products.I may as well write a new laptop buying guide with a single word "LENOVO" in the subject :razz:

Anyways, I have left all the "advice giving" up-to you as I am busy contemplating various answers to the question.."What is the meaning of life ?".

Cheers!

This is somewhat urgent.
I dumped my old desktop and am on a lookout for a new laptop. 30-40k.

I picked these two:
Samsung NP370R5E-S06IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 750GB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) Rs.35404 Price in India - Buy Samsung NP370R5E-S06IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 750GB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) Sleek Silver Online - Samsung: Flipkart.com

Lenovo Essential G510 (59-398411) Laptop (4th Gen Ci3/ 2GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph) Rs.34750 Price in India - Buy Lenovo Essential G510 (59-398411) Laptop (4th Gen Ci3/ 2GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph) Black Online - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

Can anyone tell me what is the difference in performance of the Radeon HD 8750M and Sunpro 8570.
I suppose the Sunpro is just rebranded but can someone confirm?

I posted a seperate thread but didn't get any reply.

Also, if I get the Lenovo,I'm planning to add another 4/8 GB RAM. How much more will it cost?
