I know money doesn't grows on trees. Just need to know what should be my budget for an entertainment /gaming laptop?? I would like to set my budget below 80000.the lower the better. Primary need would be gaming but I am just a casual gamer and would love to play all games 3-4 years from now on low to moderate settings at 720p. Any thoughts on Lenovo y50 cause I thought the display was too bad. So final query Lenovo y50 vs y510 ? ? Or any other suggestions.

Also a question can we play games on a 1080p screen at 720p settings. will it improve the frame rates ?? I mean would it be wiser to buy a laptop with 720p resolution so that I would be able to playing most titles 3 years from now on ?? Or can a 1080p resolution laptop can also do that.
And anything worthwhile waiting till diwali ??

Of course you can! Yes, it will obviously improve the frame rates! The lower the resolution go, higher the frames are. But not playing at native resolution will look like garbage.

720p on a 1080p scren will look okayish on a laptop, but on a big monitor or tv, will run just fine as the screen size goes bigger.

I have Y500 with 1080p display. Most of the new games, like Watchdogs, I set the resolution to 768p & increase graphics quality to med- high. It gives around 30fps, which is playable (25fps+ is playable)

First of all tell me the type of games you are looking forward to play. Y510p is a great option and still worth the money spent on it. Y50 is getting somewhat mixed views.

Y510p is having some problems with spare and replacement parts, so going for y50 despite a poorer screen might just be a better choice.
My cousin's y510's screen has got a bright spot which has dead color pixels, but he has been given a month timeframe for thrm to source a replacement screen.

Sorry guys not buying y50 the display sucks. Even 35k laptops have better displays in terms of color reproduction and viewing angles. Pls suggest some other laptops weighing under 2.5 kg with a graphics card good enough to play all games in the next 3 years at low to moderate settings.

If you don't consider the weight, get Asus G56JR or if you can settle with imported laptops, get a Custom Clevo/Sager laptop from xotic pc

Isn't there any laptop without any hefty issues ??
Z510- 740m seriously ??
Y510p-heating issues and really heavy.

Make up your mind Goldilocks, you can't have everything in this country.
MSI-has everything but pricey.
Y50-has everything sans screen.
Y510p-has everything sans low weight.
G56JR-best fit imo since lighter than Y510p.

Okay seamon thinking I should be lowering my budget and settle with a 740m with a full HD display. Would that be good to play all games in next 3-4 years @ moderate settings 720p ?? Coz my primary purpose is watching out movies with friends.
