Is Dell cheating on Indian Customers ?

Yo, Bioshock Infinite should run better in yours because it is not very CPU intensive.
yea, i played Bioshock Infinite last year at native resolution in medium settings with no AA and it played like a cream topping in a chocolate cupcake. And it still looked gorgeous (by my low standards :Dhehe)
Why cant developers make games like that?? Dont they know that majority of the gamers dont have high end GPUs?? That game , along with Tomb raider,was a strong contender for Best Graphics/Most beautifull game of 2013, and they both run like swell on my Rs33,000 laptop . TAKE THAT GAME DEVELOPERS!!!!

Apparently you can. Imagine a railway compartment..........filled with guys with laptops then you take out your Alienware 18 with GTX 780m SLI and play Crysis 3 on it. I think you get the idea. Don't try in an aeroplane............you may damage the food tray. ^.^
In a railway station? Even if its the Rajdhani Express platform, I guess 1 out of the 100 passerbys will be impressed, and still say "what a showoff" and walk away with a snide look :D
Take out an iPhone 5 Gold color and even a rickshaw puller will be "bhaisahib, bahut mahenga hoga na?? "

Actually till date I have not seen anyone around me buying a high end gaming laptop, specially above 60k, they would rather buy an iphone, or a DSLR, or a car or flat perhaps. I had never seen an alienware in my life :(
My church's pastor's son(IITian) has an Alienware laptop, the old one, green colored. Wonder how much pastors/priests make..lol. But the son was engineering student so maybe they get loans/perks etc from the Engineering college.

They will come to me !
The thing with Gaming PCs is that they make sense. If you spend 1 lakh on a gaming PC it wont be as snazzy as a 90k laptop.
Its like umm, a 45lakh Range Rover is not as snazzy as a Rs35lakh Audy TT. Range Rovers are practical and despite the price is uber value for money unlike tiny Audi Roadster that makes you go 10 km around to reach your destination due to #singapore-like-roads# of India
I will be more jealous of a guy with a 1.5 lakh Alienware than a guy with 2 lakh Gaming PC..because that Alienware guy has the capacity to throw away money more than the PC gamer.

Yeah, but when that guy plays Crysis 3 on a 3xFHD monitors, that would trump any alineware gamer. Laptops do have portability but the lack of cooling, lack of power supply, huge weight(for a laptop) makes most high end gaming laptops non-portable, try lugging a 3-4KG laptop and you'll get Spondylitis in no time.

Back to school!!
says who?
Says the guy whose 35k laptop is one of the most expensive laptops among his friends many of whom own high end DSLRs, iPhones, ipods and they don't give a damn about laptops, even when I bough the G2 they said I wasted my money and should have gotten an iPhone 4s, when I asked them what makes the iPhone better than G2 they said camera, screen etc, so you see, stuffs like laptops are not good for show off.
 
I like the fact that your entire comment is one long sentence.. makes it sound like you are annoyed and just wanna shut up the person you are talking to LOL

Ditch those friends.......they aren't geeks.

Sometimes it is not about showing off, in my case it is about portability. I have 6 houses all over the country (4 in Assam) and I go there on a yearly basis. I can't carry a Desktop there. I wanted first class performance and high portability that's why I chose the Y500. My family owns 2 desktops but those are very old and struggle with even GTA San Andreas lol.

Dude in the reply they asked my contact details!
I replied them!Waiting for their reply!

What did they quote you for most basic model ?

I didn't ask for most basic model.
I asked for a quote for i7 4700MQ, 8 GB RAM, Quadro K5100M(2 lakh), 1920x1080 Pure View panel(1 lakh).
They quoted 3 lakh 84 thousand.

The most basic model should include 8GB RAM, core i7 4700MQ, K1100M(should cost 30-40k) and normal 1920x1080 panel(10k?).

OFFTOPIC and apologies...but there are people everywhere who's friends are everywhere too, owning notebooks, expensive notebooks, have a basic phone, dont give batcrap about apple products, or high-end android phones, travel from one city to other, gather around, play games for days, do LAN parties, play online torunaments and get back home. There are pelnty of them, even they have PC's too , but its not nearly easy to just pack it in a back and hop around. Hence the notebooks, with enough firepower and mobilty packed together into a solution. For 1080P flawless gaming, thats enough to show-off.
 
OFFTOPIC and apologies... i am an ardent supporter of PC master race and i am also fully aware that laptops, gaming ones or not, cannot fully substitute a desktop experience.

BUT.....

I will never ever buy a new Desktop PC. Even though we have 2 PCs at home, i have never ever felt the need to use a desktop instead of my elcheapo budget laptop. Sure gaming on it sucks hard but the portability undeniably makes up for it. I can place it on my study table and write my assignments while surfing the net. Though our printer is fixed to the family PC, i can print stuffs far away from my room wirelessly. hehehe.:)

When the kitchen-kind/girls(university classmates) visit my place my parents don't allow me to take them to my room (despite my clean reputation) . If i had my own desktop PC, there is NO way the girls could use my PC for some work related stuff. This is where laptop comes handy, just lift it up and take it to your living room and work together on it.

I can take my laptop to the Library, or to class and use it to show my presentation instead of using a pen drive and using our classroom's shitty computer with 15" CRT monitor (its a frigging relic). Our projector is already configured to my laptop.

Thing is , i will Always Always need a Laptop.
Secondly, a LAPTOP ,most often ,substitutes a Desktop perfectly, BUT, a Desktop can NEVER EVER substitute a Laptop
Hence
LAPTOPS= WIN

Mr Sam : Not everybody here is a professional gamer, people usually are "enthusiastic amateurs".Therefore not many people do LAN parties and play games for days. So instead of buying a 1.5 L Alienware, I will assemble a high end gaming desktop and instead of a monitor I will use this

In front of whom will you show off? You can't expect people to come to your house solely to watch you brag about your new gaming PC whereas you can take laptop to their homes and stuff.
Almost 99% gamers are enthusiasts.

BTW how % left for bioshock infinite to finish downloading? :D
