Your customised Dell XPS15 looks very good in this price range... Backlit keyboard is awesome

There are other laptops from lenovo(Y560) and HP(Dv6).
The y560 has slightly better GPU than yours (but I doubt it as you have stated 2GB version of 435) but 500GB HDD with 5400 rpm.
And dv6 slower gpu then yours.
So your configuration seems to be the best...

PS: are you sure its i7-740 (or its i7-720), if it is then your CPU might be better than those two...

Thankx NainO,
The lenovo one has got some problems in the screen so don't want to risk it
And none of the HP has any better GPU than 5650 , that's why I thought of Dell.
MSI ans ASUS has very decent laptops but the problem is that I am not able to get much information about their price .
And do you of any laptop form ASUS or MSI that I can buy in my range.
And the 435M was designed to compete with 5730 but what I have rad is that it is inferior and only slightly better than 5650??

And yes its i7-740(thats what it is written) only.

Thank you.

True the Sony laptops are attractive, but they have underclocked 5650(to keep it cool), so its of not much use(in gaming), and I don't find much diff. in a 52k sony vs a 62k sony .
Thankx
