Buy a desktop and get over it. Don't have ridiculous expectations from laptops, that too budget ones.

That's a little harsh and rude, all he is asking is for suggestion's and if those games work or not.

Looking forward to hear from you as I want to buy this one

the games i am able to play
1)Batman Arkham city extreme settings...arkham asylum lagged even in low settings...i think its something to do with nvdia physix...i coudnt fix it..

2)i played this games all play lag free even at high setting AND CPU temperature was normal
FIFA 12,MAFIA II,LEFT 4 DEAD 1&2,NFS HOT PURSUIT,SPEC OPS THE LINE...
3)you can play MP3 and GTA IV at medium settings

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

I checked infibeam and Rs 31,729 is a good deal. I thought of buying during diwali but after seeing this price I want to order now.. I've never ordered from infibeam so u guys tell me whether or not they are reliable .

 

[duke123]

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

infibeam is good but i dont know how good are their service is with third party sellers as they have mentioned 48 hours return policy...
.there was an extended warranty offer running for purchases made until yesterday(11 oct)... the offer might come back..please call customer care and confirm whether any offer is available or available in near future...
so its your call ...

I believe that should be fine coz price is also a factor......
There is another laptop almost in the 35k range locally.. it is HP Pavilion G6-2136TX Laptop (2nd Gen Ci3/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win7 HB/ 2GB Graph AMD Radeon HD 7670M). So here no x-fire but one 2 gb 7670M. Dont know which one will do more justice to budget game lovers.
1. quad core amd vs Ci3 2nd gen
2. 1 GB 7670M Dedicated 512 mb 7640G vs 2 GB7670M

Two days back I placed an order with infibeam.com for HP G6 2005AX @31,719 with 5% discount using GREEN2012 offer. Could get another 5% discount if I return some old mobile/ camera to them as per their offer.

Eagerly waiting for the laptop delivery!!

its just AMD A8 vs core i3 2350M...pass mark rank of A8 is 323 and i3 2350M is 417...
Many members have already pointed out 2GB or 1GB doesnt make any difference because both are same GPU 7670M..
also the keyboard of G6 2136TX is island type while 2005ax has chicklet ...

Guys, this is great with the offer that infibeam is giving but they don't have COD, thats bad. Plus its third party.

 

[duke123]

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

ya its a very good one ...but had a bad experience my self...i first ordered my G6 2005ax from infibeam..but after a week they contacted me saying they coudnt get the product at that price ...fortunately i used COD so i could cancel the order...

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

Expectation?? No way I dont have any expectation of playing games at ultra setting in this laptop but I wanted to know if anyone able to play the mentioned games if yes then how was it?

@ico: whether I will buy desktop or laptop don't you worry about that....suggestion and judgement are two different word even moderators needs to learn sometime

I saw another lappy from HP Pavilion 2102TX almost similar range but it has one graphics card only..so wondering if anyone would be kind enough to give some suggestions

well, I gave you an unbiased answer as you asked for one. Especially considering "high settings" like you said.

Except Civilization V, GTA IV and L.A.Noire, I expect other games to run fine on medium. The games I mentioned are processor intensive and they need a Quad Core i7 laptop (the one with QM suffix) to run properly.

Could u tell appropriate setting for GTA IV.

re: HP G6 2005AX/2010AX/2201AX - powered by Trinity

game will auto detect the hardware and set the settings accordingly. most of the settings will be mid-low.

Its been 2months I'm using this lappy. Experience= 10/10

a) I'm a nooby.
b) Bought this for Rs. 35400 (installment scheme) and got only the bagpag. Brought it to Delhi after 12hrs with nothing loaded/installed.
c) Didnt upgrade any driver, didnt install any new ones.. Dont know what all the fuss is about the dual graphics, I use everything in system as default and it runs NFS RUN smoothly at 1080x 'something' resolution at everything high. Ran Arkham Asylum at the same res like butter, and Black Ops too. MF2, Portal 2, Sniper Ghost Warrior & FIFA 13 at everything high and full. Note: I dont use cooling pad or any kind of stand, just dont continue gaming for more than an hour and start playing when laptop is fully charged cause 'playing + charging' feels more heated.
d) I use the power saver mode generally with HP Coolsense ON (seems fictitious). Watched Green Mile (3hrs movie) + a Dexter episode (40mins), still had over 35% charge left (had headphone on) in train while returning from Delhi. Laptop gets fully charged from 10% in less than an hour if u dont browse meanwhile.
e) 1080p runs smoothly, speakers are great. Hard disks not yet partitioned. Just ran Hot Persuit and PES 13, both at ultra and max. Using the lappy by connecting it to net for the first time and after 2hrs without charging, it still shows 2hr35min (57%) remaining. Although my eyes are aching at this power saver mode for 2hrs now. This might be the very first con from personal use of this 2005ax.
P.S. I might have got 2gb + 1gb graphics instead of 1 + 0.5 (msinfo32, dxdiag shows that although the rating in windows index is same as all of u)

Thanks Sandeep real fame-info was indeed what I was looking for.

Yeah.. searched some entry/medium range graphics card info in notebookcheck all showing Civ 5, GTA will only run in low setting.

Getting offer in local market at 33500 INR just waiting for Diwali Season so might get something extra Still HP Pavilion G6-2136TX Laptop bugs me

About the graphics card I believe GT 610 M is entry level card and cant expect much juice from it. Check
